Country House

Property Description

This period property built in white stone (typical of the north of Gascony) is located at the end of a long rural pathway free from overview from any other neighbours and offers delightful far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and valleys.

The gardens back onto open fields of wheat and sunflower, alternating over the years.

Around the property there is a well tended garden comprising an enclosed vegetable plot, a pretty covered terrace with a barbecue/ entertaining area and a variety of mature shrubs and bushes providing what can be described overall as a bucolic and tranquil rural location.

The location of this property is interesting as it sits on the frontiers of Gascony and the Lot and Garonne with easy access to the fast Tgv train service in Agen and on the doorstep of Astaffort and the popular market and thermal town of Lectoure which is a twenty minute drive.

The property comprises a large stone barn currently used as a garage and an outbuilding in stone which is rather beautiful with lovely views which with relevant planning permissions could be converted into an atelier perhaps or an outside studio.

The door to the main house opens directly onto a central room which is divided into both a kitchen and sitting area. Nb : There is no separate sitting room.

A small corridor leads to a downstairs bathroom and WC.

On the other side of the central kitchen/ sitting room a second internal hallway leads to three bedrooms. There is a wood pellet burner in the hallway here ensuring the bedrooms are toasty warm.

Above the habitable area of the house is a large attic/ loft - which with relevant planning permissions offers a vast space for development.

Who might like this property?

This property will appeal to anyone in search of a peaceful location with outstanding views - and a lovely stone house that is ready to be taken onto the next stage. The current configuration is not ideal in so far as the bathroom is on the opposite side from the bedrooms but with all the extra potential available space (planning permissions providing) this could easily be resolved.

The property as it stands is warm and cosy with a contemporary style interior.

Necessary Works :
The septic tank does not meet current regulations although the current owners use it without any issues.

Heating
The house has a recently fitted pellet burner and a insert for logs in the main room.
