house :

This lovely old house is approached via imposing gates and a long drive. The grounds are beautifully maintained, laid mostly to lawn with ancient trees and ornamental, clipped box-hedges. The house itself is symmetrically proportioned and occupies the southern third of one enormous building. The pivotal point of the building is an impressively proportioned arched gateway, which leads into an enormous barn with cathedral roof. The northern section of this building is on two floors and could make a pretty secondary residence. This northern section, together with two independent, single-storey buildings form a courtyard which is separated from the main house by an attractive, gated wall.

accommodation :

480m² over two floors plus high-quality outbuildings of 880m²

general :

oil-fired central heating boiler

This is a property of a very high quality, retaining all the charm of the 18th Century. The original floor tiles, marble fireplaces, old fitted cupboards, tiny-paned windows and ornamental plasterwork are completely unspoilt. It obviously needs some updating - plumbing etc - although it already has full oil-fired central heating. Nowadays it is rare to find such an unspoilt property and it has the added advantage of being so conveniently close to Auch and Toulouse.

outbuildings :

All under the same main roof as the house are the following three stone outbuildings:

single storey outbuildings, 22m x 5.5m.

barn with the magnificent arched entrance gate.

a two-storey barn. It has a very attractive façade and would make a pretty dwelling.
