A traditional stone property located a short stroll from the heart of the beautiful bastide of Duras with its bars, restaurants, commerce and schools. This property could be the renovation project you have been dreaming of. Structurally sound, it really is a blank canvas to refresh, modernise and restore to its former glory.

The property has been divided into two properties recently and has plumbing for two kitchens on the ground floor level and has several reception rooms, but it works just as well as one large property as it was originally intended, with just a little jigging required to make the space work. With its town-centre location and generous accommodation, it would lend itself perfectly to being run as a B&B with an easy division of the downstairs accommodation into owner's accommodation and guest accommodation and the bedrooms too, as there are currently two staircases in the property. Or indeed, it would be ideal accommodation for extended families, each with their own space, on the ground floor and upstairs. Equally, it would make an ideal restaurant or cafe/tea room or indeed a space to run some group classes, be it art, craft, yoga or pilates.

Outside, the manageable plot extends to the front of the property. It is extremely low-maintenance and ideal if the property is to be used as a second home or for anyone looking for a stress-free garden solution. There is room for a small pool to be added, subject to local planning consent.

If you have the tenacity, vision and patience to give this property the makeover it deserves, don't hesitate to book a viewing now. Detached, large, stone properties like this do not come on the market very often in town-centre locations.
