Chic Manoir walkable to Bastide Town -..

Fully renovated between 2007 and 2010 to include new electrics, boiler, plumbing and roof etc and to a chic international standard, this property offers extensive accommodation over its 3 floors. All four bedrooms on the first floor are both spacious and come with ensuite bathrooms, and whilst the four on the second floor share two bathrooms between them, they too offer a good deal of space and comfort. As befits a property of this size, there are three good sized reception rooms in addition to the very modern and airy kitchen/breakfast room. A lower ground floor, partly renovated, offer further possibilities - as do the extensive outbuildings that flank the generous private 14x7m swimming pool located discreetly to the rear.
Surrounded by 27 hectares of land, currently looked after by a local farmer but with a break clause, the property enjoys views out over countryside with its nearest neighbours a good distance away. Despite the seemingly rural setting, it is never-the-less just over a kilometer's walk into a very popular Bastide town replete with excellent restaurants, bars, local amenities and a buzzing and friendly atmosphere. This property would serve as an excellent second home, gite rental business or a large family home. A good deal of the furniture is available by separate negotiation - all-in-all it represents an outstanding turn-key solution. (reference: R000295)
