2 bedroom Apartment For Sale:..

This is an incredible opportunity to own a genuine piece of French history - a recently created, fully renovated apartment within a historically important twelfth century chateau.

Situated in an elevated rural location in the heart of the Gascony region and with stunning views extending to the Pyrenees, the fortified chateau is steeped in fascinating history. Originally the home of the De Pommes family, it was then owned by the Dukes of Orbeisson for some 450 years. The family fought in the Crusades during its ownership and was finally destroyed in the French Revolution of 1789.

The chateau, which has been painstakingly restored from its semi derelict condition by its English owner over a period of 20 years, has been skilfully and thoughtfully divided into four apartments, each being completely independent of and different from the others.

This property is known as 'Apartment Vielle Cuisine' and the accommodation of this superb, completely renovated, apartment comprises:

Ground Floor:

Original Medieval Kitchen: 32' 10” x 25' 0” with two important medieval fireplaces, stone sink and cavoir, original bread oven and beautiful beamed ceiling. There is potential for a rental income from the medieval kitchen.

The First Floor offers a private owner's apartment, which was created in 2012 and is approached by a spiral staircase leading to a large landing area.

Entrance Hall, with gothic screens, leading to -

Living Room with under floor heating, modern kitchen with a range of units including double sink, integral dishwasher, double oven and gas hob.

Bedroom 1: 11' 4” x 8' 8”

From the First Floor, a staircase leads to a Mezzanine floor.

Bedroom 2: 11' 4” x 8'8”

The property includes a private area of the central courtyard, with steps leading down to an area of trees and shrubs which is suitable for a garden and swimming pool.

The original courtyard includes a right of way to the other three apartments.

The chateau is easily reached from Toulouse Airport, which is 50 km and 45 minutes drive away. Pau and Carcassone Airports are approximately 80 km away.
