Gascony, Gers

In Gascony, in the Gers, this well-maintained property overlooks the beautiful surrounding countryside, with distant views of the Pyrenees, from its vantage point overlooking the village ramparts.  It is located in an attractive and much sought-after hill-top village, in a quiet street, within walking distance of shops, bank, restaurants, café/bar, hairdressers, schools, doctors, and the weekly market.  The village is only a short drive from Condom.

Nearest airports are Toulouse and Pau (both 1½ hrs drive) and Bordeaux (2hrs).  The Atlantic coast, the Spanish border and the ski fields of the Pyrenees are each about 2 hours drive.  Nearest mainline railway station for the TGV train is Agen, about 40 minutes away

Enjoy the attractive views from this two-storey house, terrace and garden, and the relaxed Gascon lifestyle of a friendly village.

Constructed in stone in about 1835, the property originally consisted of two cottages.  The100 m² of restored habitable space is supplemented by an additional 34 m² of first-floor space that could be developed into a further bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and it would also be possible to convert the 34 m² workshop on the ground floor. 

The house features a large south-facing tiled terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, a spacious living room, fitted and equipped kitchen/dining room, 2 bedrooms (with the possibility of creating a third bedroom/bathroom as described above), bathroom, 2 separate toilets, garage and workshop.

The roof appears to be in good order, part of which was renewed only two years ago. There is double glazing in the living room and bedrooms.

Services include mains drainage, town water, electricity, electric hot water storage system, two fireplaces, and a well in the garden.  Telephone and broadband connection are readily available.

The furniture is available for purchase separately, if required.
