A PRESTIGEOUS 5-BEDROOM house in the centre of an attractive village in the Gers, 10 mins from the small market town of Riscle with good facilities and 15 mins from the larger town of Aire-sur-Ardour.

Outside there are attractive gardens 2474m², a range of outbuildings, an enclosed courtyard, 2 pigeonniers and splendid views over the rolling countryside.
