Medieval village cottage

in picturesque village

Overview

This old stone cottage sits in a quiet lane in a Gascon village with very little through traffic.

It is within easy driving distance of Agen and Lectoure and would make a perfect pied à terre holiday home, or an all year-round cottage with two bedrooms.

The main door opens directly onto the lane where there are only a couple of other houses.

The main reception room has a central fireplace and a window to the front of the property.

The main room is spacious enough for a dining and a sitting area combined with open plan access onto a fitted kitchen with top and bottom units.

There is a rear exit to the alley way at the side of the house and to a very small section of land which is big enough for a table and chairs and which has a pretty view over the valley. This piece of land is bisected by a small parcel of land belonging to the neighbour.

Also on the ground floor of the property there is the family bathroom/ WC.

A flight of stairs leads to a small landing from which there is access to two bedrooms – both of which are spacious doubles. One bedroom overlooks the village, the other the surrounding countryside.

The property also benefits from a non adjacent plot of land which provides a generous space for a vegetable plot of a place to picnic and create a secret garden. Although it is not adjacent to the property, it is a fantastic space and the walk to it, through the village, is very pleasant indeed.

What would I do if the property were mine?

The fireplace in the reception room is not currently in use and I would want to have a wood-burning stove fitted here for those cosy winter evenings. I would seek to develop the garden which is tucked away in a secret location  – and can be transformed into an idyllic  spot.
