Overview
This stunning stone residence nestles in a tranquil Gascon village, far from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Its striking facade, adorned with traditional Lectoure blue shutters, overlooks the quaint village square.
Step inside through the original front door into a spacious entrance hall, where the gleaming hardwood floors bear the gentle marks of time, with hues akin to honeyed gold.
Beyond the entrance, you’ll find two inviting living spaces – one boasting a cosy fireplace framed by elegant woodwork and shelves filled with books, while the other offers a charming dining area adorned by an intricately detailed ceiling.
The heart of the home is the kitchen, and in this home culinary delights are whipped up against a backdrop of picturesque Gascon countryside views.
For outdoor enthusiasts, a rustic brick barbecue awaits in the traditional “souillarde” – a spacious room accessible directly from the street, perfect for dropping off groceries or kicking off muddy boots after a countryside adventure.
Head upstairs via the graceful wooden staircase, adorned with delicately wrought handrails, and you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom, and a cozy study, ideal for quiet moments of relaxation.
The staircase continues upwards to a delightful additional guest bathroom nestled in the converted attic space, offering glimpses of blue skies on sunny days. Meanwhile, the meticulously maintained “upstairs” attic space provides ample storage, ensuring a clutter-free living space “downstairs.”
To the rear of the property an enclosed village garden of modest proportions awaits, perfect for enjoying lazy summer afternoons in dappled shade. Sun-worshippers will find a secluded sunny spot on the southerly side of the garden.
This timeless home exudes a blend of elegance and simplicity, with its spacious interiors, inviting hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and cozy hearths. It’s the perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort.
