Nr Auch (Gers) - For sale: Utterly..

This lovely house nestles in a peaceful and truly delightful rural setting. With a pretty garden and views over gently undulating countryside, the property offers a haven of peace and tranquility.

Auch, the historic capital of the Gers department with superb traditional markets, UNESCO heritage sites, shops, restaurants & cafes, is a few minutes' drive away; and Toulouse international airport is under an hour by car.

From a sheltered terrace, the front door opens to a tiled hallway with exposed beams. On the left is the main bedroom - pretty and fresh, with double aspect windows to the garden, and good-sized built-in wardrobes. Further along the hallway is a separate w/c, and a stylish bathroom with roll-top bath and a large walk-in shower. On the right is a large boiler room (ideal for drying or airing) and on the left more built-in cupboards provide ample storage space.

The hall leads through to a very light inner hallway off which is the second bathroom, with w/c and corner bath with shower attachment. There are also three double bedrooms, all with good-sized built-in wardrobes. One of the bedrooms has a French window leading out to the garden, and the other two benefit from lovely views across the fields to the local village. One bedroom also has a mezzanine gallery, again with pretty views over the countryside - this could be a good office area perhaps, or it can accommodate a single futon.

Leading off the hallway to the right is an attractive dining area, with original brick walls and exposed beams. The dining area is semi-open to a fully equipped kitchen, with windows to the garden and one of the covered terraces.

Steps from the dining area lead down to a spacious living room. With a traditional fireplace with log burner, exposed beams, and wooden floor, this is altogether a very welcoming space. At one end of the room French windows open to the garden, and provide lovely views over the countryside. Large French windows at the other end lead to a delightful covered terrace.

A door to the side of the living area leads to a large, light room which is currently used as a study but which could equally be an additional double bedroom. This is a very pleasant room, with a door opening onto a sheltered terrace, and windows overlooking the garden and the swimming pool (8 x 4m).

The pretty grounds immediately around the property are mainly laid to grass, with some borders and plenty of mature shrubs and trees. Other features include a lovely bassin pond, a stone well, and a small outbuilding for gardening equipment. At one end the garden opens up to a delightful meadow area of approximately 2500m2, which the current owners leave for wild flowers.
