For the past 10 years this pretty Gascon farmhouse has been the centre of warm family hospitality and it is with great reluctance that the owners have decided to sell. Over 100 years old, it is solidly built in stone and offers an idyllic country lifestyle for those looking for a permanent residence or a maison secondaire.
Original features such as beams, exposed stonework and a large old fireplace have been retained. For purchasers requiring more accommodation, there is a possibility of extending the existing living space of 143m² by conversion of the two-storey stable adjoining the house (subject to the usual planning consent).
Facilities include swimming pool, Jacuzzi, barbecue, Sky TV satellite dish, external lighting, external water taps, telephone, electric hot water storage tank and fibreglass insulation. All light fittings, curtains and curtain fittings are included in the price. The house is equipped with electricity, town water and a septic tank.
