The splendour of the building and its peaceful setting gradually emerges on driving up through the park. It is a long building flanked by a tower at each end and terraces the full length of the front. It was formerly a vineyard and has been carefully renovated over a number of years by the current owners who have sourced materials appropriate to its age and blended these with the requirements of 21st century living - central heating, double glazing with mosquito nets, insulation etc. There are large windows and doors which allow the light to flood in the building.

The main entrance is central and the oak door opens to a large vestibule from which a hand crafted wide staircase curves to the right and left at a half landing. Doors at each side on the first floor open to corridors with two tastefully decorated bright bedrooms on each side with en-suite shower rooms. The central open atrium is currently used as an office.

To the left at ground floor level is a large open area with a sitting area at the far end around a fireplace with a wood burning stove and a large dining area at the other. To the right there is a smaller sitting room with a stone fireplace and a door through to a fully fitted luxury wood crafted kitchen with an island and dining table.
The central core downstairs houses the service areas.

To the rear with windows overlooking the gardens is the master bedroom with its built in wardrobe and en suite shower room. There are 2 further good sized bedrooms which share a family bathroom.

At each end there is a tower which is entered from stairs at first floor level. It would be possible with a little work to access them from the house. Each tower is well appointed a living room area and shower room and upstairs a double bedroom with beautiful exposed timbers.

In the rear gardens there is a long building which has been sympathetically converted to form 2 compact self contained 1 bedroomed gîtes, each with a private terrace with views over the countryside towards the cathedral at Condom.
Each 1 bedroom apartment is well appointed with a living/dining area and large bedroom with en-suite.

There is also a yet to be converted pigeonner. The building has been reroofed so it is ripe for development.

The grounds have been well maintained and laid out to take full advantage of its peaceful location. There is a natural winding pond flanked by century old trees. Nearer the house there is laid out parking areas for guests. There are numerous flowerbeds planted with roses which are abundant during the summer.

The south facing terraces at the front of the building are spacious with areas for lounging and dining overlooking the planted beds and the gardens. On the east side there is another large terrace which is used for serving breakfast to the guests overlooking beautiful cedar trees.

In the private location yet only a few kilometres from a busy historic town with a wide range of commerce and facilities a cycle/walking track is 200metres from the property and extends for 32km.
