Nr Fleurance (Gers) - For sale : superb..

This substantial, beautifully renovated stone house sits in just over 6 hectares of meadowland and garden. In an elevated position with uninterrupted views over rolling countryside, this is a tranquil rural setting yet the property is within easy reach of a bustling market town with all amenities, and a short drive from a very pretty village with a restaurant. It is also just half an hour from Auch, the historic capital of the Gers department, and Toulouse international airport is about an hour away.

The ground floor of the main house boasts tiled floors throughout, stone walls, exposed beams, and several original fireplaces - all renovated with style and attention to detail. The front door opens onto a hallway which leads to a spacious kitchen with oak fitted units, and a French window opening to the garden. On one side of the hallway is a pretty lounge, and on the other side is a large study - both these rooms have handsome fireplaces and views over the gardens. Off a second inner hallway is a w/c, and a good-sized utility room.

The inner hallway also leads to a light and airy open-plan living and dining area with a large fireplace, stone walls, and generous French windows which open onto the garden. With a separate entrance, and a kitchenette, this part of the house can provide completely independent accommodation if desired, and has in fact been a successful, high quality chambres d'hotes. There are three stylish and spacious double bedrooms in this part of the house, one on the ground floor and two upstairs - all with generous en-suite shower rooms. As with the rest of the house, the rooms have been renovated to a high standard, with solid chestnut flooring upstairs, and quality fixtures and fittings throughout.

The first floor in the main house offers three large double bedrooms, two of which have wooden floors and original fireplaces. There is a big family bathroom with walk-in shower and roll-top bath, also a separate w/c. There is access from this floor to the loft area. The hatch is deliberately large enough to accommodate a spiral staircase, and there are already two velux windows in the roof - so this area is ripe for conversion into extra accommodation, if required.

Close to the main house, but completely private and with a separate driveway, is the guest house. This charming cottage has two double bedrooms (one with en-suite w/c), and a light open-plan living/dining room and kitchen. There is also a large shower room with walk-in shower and w/c.

Other features of this property include an original winery, and a good-sized garage, which is currently used as a work-shop.

The grounds of the property extend to 6.28 ha. Around the house are mature gardens, and a discreetly-sited swimming pool (12 x 5m). The lawns give way to pretty meadowland and lovely views of the Gascon countryside.
