LAND

The driveway accentuates our sense of privacy as we cut through the parkland, bordered with ancient oaks, and a pond with a sandy riverbank.
The house has been fully restored in recent years, and if the outside is reminiscent of a château, with its impressive stone walls, the inside is warm and cosy, and everything a family home should be.



We enter the property directly into a charming reception room (26.57m2) with an open fireplace, original terracotta floor, and windows to the rear garden. Ancient beams have been sanded to a light shade of brown and are exposed both on the ceiling, and with feature columns to support the upper floor. The ambiance here is cosy and warm, rustic but elegant, with light from both sides of the property. There is access to the front of the property here a summer sitting room has been created on the spacious terrace area.
The kitchen/dining room (26.47m2) has been fully refurbished and fitted and makes a fantastic family room/breakfast room. A black Aga pumps out heat, on a cold winter’s day, but with an electric thermostat can be regulated during the warm summer months. Any kitchen with an Aga feels as if it has a pulsating heart! – which draws the whole family to its side, and this property is no exception. The pale grey-blue wooden units contrast beautifully with the shining black Aga and are fresh and contemporary.
The kitchen is open plan to the dining-room, a separation formed from the central island, with its work-tops and a double stone sink. This space works well, as when seated in the dining room, the working elements of the kitchen (and the washing-up!) are hidden from view, and yet it is possible for the chef to work and still chat with friends and family at the table in the dining-room, creating a very sociable space. There is access from the kitchen to the front terrace which runs the length of the property, for outdoor dining.



On this side of the property, there is a downstairs independent (second) kitchen/laundry room which has been beautifully designed with a stone sink and worksurfaces and contemporary light grey units. This wing of the property could be divided up separately from the rest of the house, as on this level, beyond the laundry room (accessible independently from the gardens and side terrace) there is a downstairs double bedroom with en-suite shower-room, and a space currently used as a separate home-office working space with exposed stone walls. This entire space could be used as a separate gîte, or guest appartment.



Two beautiful bedrooms currently used as children’s bedrooms, with original oak doors with latch-key, and characterful colombage walls sit at the top of the landing and share a family bathroom with a roll-top bath and shower room.
The master bedroom is a bedroom fit for a prince and princess! Spacious, light and elegant and beautifully decorated, this is a fabulous space. This room has a somewhat magical feel. There is also a dressing room next to it.
At the end of the hallway, there is a guest bedroom tucked in the corner, with a private landing.
Outside there is a large and useful outbuilding, where once horses were stabled, offering a great outdoor space.

This is the perfect property for anyone wishing to avoid a renovation project. There are no works required, no draughty dusty corners to restore. There is comfort and warmth throughout!
Although tucked away in a quiet rural backwater, with a gently bucolic air, this is a popular area, close to Gimont with easy access both to the touristic Gascony to the North and to Toulouse city and international airport.
WHAT WE THINK
The large parkland and long private driveway, with the many different seating areas in the garden according to the season.
The quirky architecture; the stone walls on the outside, with ancient engravings cut into the stone hinting at how many centuries this property has stood here.
The beautiful fixtures and fittings within. The internal doors are solid oak, and throughout there is evidence of good taste in the choice of colours, and quality materials used for all the fittings and fixtures.
The gleaming black Aga…… on a cold winter’s night.
The summer terraces on a hot August day.

NB: Our working relationships are built on mutual trust with our vendors. By so doing we are able to show photographs which clearly indicate the location of a property. This is not current practice in France. However, it should be noted in such cases that the current owner has chosen to advertise exclusively with our agency as he/she does not wish to enter into negotiations privately with potential buyers or to be contacted directly, choosing to remunerate an agency instead of handling the sale privately. All agency fees are payable by the VENDOR. We cordially invite all buyers interested in viewing a property to contact our agency. We are happy to advise and help throughout the process.
