In Gascony, in the northern Gers, this beautifully presented restored stone house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and an exquisite sunny courtyard/garden suitable for outdoor meals.  It is located in a charming village close to the market town of Condom. The village has a post office and a bar/restaurant with a small village shop attached.   The surrounding countryside is attractively undulating and planted with vines.

HOUSE

This old stone village house has been lovingly restored by the present owner who is selling it with great regret.  The two-storey house has been re-wired, re-plumbed and damp-proofed and there is a new centrally-controlled electric heating system.  There are a large number of electrical plugs and 2 telephone points. The price includes all the fittings and equipment in the kitchen, plus a freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as all light fittings, curtains and curtain fittings, plus a Sky TV satellite dish.

With approximately 160m² of living space, there is a sense of space and light, provided by its windows, wide entrance hall and generous upstairs landing.  For year-round comfort, the house is insulated and all downstairs windows are double-glazed.

Ground floor rooms are all tiled, while upstairs are floorboards, all in excellent condition.

Services include town water, electricity, telephone/ADSL and a septic tank (mains drainage is being planned for 2008 by the local Council).
