Set slightly apart from a village, this beautiful Gascon maison de maître reveals a perfectly symmetrical façade finished in pale render. The front door is crowned with an elegant canopy, while nine large windows line the ground and first floors, complemented by two oculi and three small upper windows punctuating the top level.
This impressive property is surrounded by nearly 1.5 hectares of parkland and is complemented by a substantial outbuilding housing a guest house, a garage and additional spaces with further potential.
Fleurance is just 10 minutes away, Auch and Lectoure 20 minutes, and Toulouse airport 1 hour 15 minutes.
The main house
A short flight of steps leads to the front door, opening into a spacious through entrance hall, filled with natural light from both front and rear openings. This space is currently used as a study.
To the left, a small vestibule leads into the sitting room, a beautifully proportioned space with two windows providing excellent natural light. One wall features a classical decorative black marble fireplace topped with an ornate overmantel.
Opposite, the dining room of approximately 25 m² offers generous proportions and two openings, including French doors leading to the terrace. Here again, a decorative fireplace is enhanced by a finely detailed plaster overmantel with pilasters and frieze.
The kitchen, located at the rear of the house and directly accessible from the dining room, measures approximately 22 m². It is bright, with two large windows and French doors opening onto the outside, and features a brick fireplace and built-in storage.
For convenience, the ground floor also includes a WC and a shower room.
A discreet original wooden staircase leads to the first floor.
Dedicated to the sleeping quarters, this level comprises four bedrooms and a shower room with WC.
The master bedroom, nearly 27 m², benefits from dual-aspect light and retains a period marble fireplace topped with an elegant overmantel.
The second bedroom, also spacious at around 26 m², features two large windows, a decorative fireplace, and a small alcove that could easily be converted into a dressing area.
The third bedroom, located at the rear, is accessed via the second bedroom (a walk-through room). It measures approximately 22 m² and is particularly bright, with two windows and a WC with washbasin.
The fourth bedroom, more modest at 10.5 m², enjoys a south-facing aspect and would be ideal as a child’s bedroom or a study.
All bedrooms are served by a shower room with window, fitted with a shower, double washbasin and WC.
From the landing, the staircase continues to the second floor, where a large attic of approximately 58 m² offers further potential, subject to full renovation.
The house also benefits from a large cellar accessible from the entrance.
Outbuildings
The outbuildings, located close to the main house, form a large L-shaped structure divided into several sections.
A 33 m² workshop with double wooden doors opens towards the main house.
The central section houses the guest house, accessed from the rear. It comprises two reception rooms and a small internal kitchen on the ground floor. The space is bright thanks to large windows and French doors. Upstairs, a corridor leads to three bedrooms, a shower room and separate WC. The property is in very good condition, heated and immediately habitable.
The outbuilding continues with a large open barn, above which lies a spacious room to be renovated and adapted to suit future projects.
At the far end, a second large workshop completes the ensemble.
Grounds
The main house and outbuildings are set within over 1.4 hectares of grounds, including lawns and a variety of established trees.
What we love here at Bliss
The architecture is remarkable, from the classical symmetry of the main house to the scale and potential of the outbuildings.
What I would do if I owned this property?
Respectfully modernise the main house and create a large private suite with sitting area by combining bedrooms 2 and 3.
Who will this property suit?
This property will appeal strongly to those who appreciate classical architecture and bourgeois homes. It is also ideal for multi-generational living, a hospitality project or long-term rental.
Conversely, those not wishing to undertake some modernisation work may find it less suitable.
