Gascony / Gers 32                                    

The property is situated in a pretty, historic village in Gascony, in the north-east of the Gers, with views of the countryside from the back of the house and garden.  The village is located on the pilgrimage route of the Chemin de St Jacques de Compostelle, a path which brings walkers through the village, particularly in summer.  The location therefore provides the opportunity to offer bed and breakfast to walkers.

The village has a lively restaurant/bar and a garage.  There are deliveries of bread, fruit and vegetables to the village and nearest shops are in Lectoure and Miradoux, each about 10 minutes away.

This former village presbytery would, after modernisation, transform into a comfortable family home with 210m² of living space.  A solid stone house, with thick walls and fibreglass insulation, it comprises entry hall, kitchen, dining room, sitting room, utility room, enclosed verandah, 5 bedrooms, 2 toilets, shower room, bathroom, garage, and garden.  Services include mains drainage, mains water, electricity, telephone, with the introduction of broadband service planned soon.  There is room in the garden to install a swimming pool.
