Character property

with enclosed garden

In the heart of La Romieu, one of the Gers’ most cherished villages, this handsome stone house sits quietly among the historic streets, within easy walking distance of the cafés, restaurants, shops and magnificent collegiate church that have made the village so well known.

Life here revolves around the village square. There is the annual Rose Festival each spring, lively local restaurants, and On Va Vers Le Beau, a community café and co-working space that has become something of a village living room. Residents gather for coffee, remote working, conversation and, on Thursday evenings, pizzas shared on the terrace as the village settles into the evening.

Behind its stone façade, the house is both welcoming and comfortably proportioned.

A central Gascon hallway, laid with beautiful original encaustic cement tiles, runs through the ground floor and sets the tone from the moment one enters.

The recently renovated kitchen combines traditional materials with modern practicality and is complemented by a large utility and pantry room beyond.

The dining room and sitting room are both well-proportioned spaces, the latter arranged around an old stone fireplace that naturally becomes the focal point during the winter months. An additional room on the ground floor offers flexibility as a study, library, guest room or studio.

Upstairs are three spacious double bedrooms, one with its own shower room, together with a family bathroom.

To the rear of the house, a walled garden provides a peaceful and private outdoor space at the very centre of the village.

Beyond the garden stands what is undoubtedly the property’s most distinctive feature: historic former ecclesiastical grange. Its roof structure and roof covering have recently been restored, while its mullioned windows, substantial stone walls and remarkable studded oak door remain as tangible reminders of its long history.

Viewed from the bedrooms, the building has an almost theatrical quality. Its mullioned windows and centuries-old stonework create a scene more readily associated with a protected historic site than with a private garden.

Connected to the house via the utility room, the grange offers considerable scope for future projects, subject to the necessary permissions.

A separate parcel of land included within the sale lies nearby. The precise possibilities attached to this plot are currently being clarified by the agency.
