LET'S TAKE A TOUR OF THIS LOVELY HOME

GROUND FLOOR

The original rustic double wooden entrance doors open into a welcoming tiled entrance hall. Directly ahead, the attractive wooden staircase rises to the first floor, immediately setting the tone for the warmth and character found throughout the property. Two useful storage cupboards are tucked beneath the staircase.

LIVING ROOM

A traditional wooden door opens into a comfortable living room. The high beamed ceiling creates a wonderful sense of space, whilst the chimney with its wooden mantel and wood-burning stove forms a natural focal point. A window overlooking the garden fills the room with natural light.

This is a room equally suited to cosy winter evenings beside the fire or relaxing summer afternoons enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside.

FARMHOUSE KITCHEN

From the living room, a wooden door leads into the spacious farmhouse kitchen, undoubtedly the heart of the home.

The flooring has been replaced with beautiful irregular solid oak boards that complement the character of the property perfectly. Two windows bring light into the room throughout the day, one overlooking the garden and the other facing the terrace. Exposed beams and the impressive ceiling height continue the traditional Gascogne character.

The fitted kitchen includes storage units, an oven with gas hob and space for appliances. The gas boiler is also located here, whilst a wooden wall cupboard discreetly houses the electrical consumer unit.

Large enough to accommodate family dining as well as food preparation, this room invites you to gather with family and friends, enjoy long meals and create memories together.

SUMMER LOUNGE

A further wooden door opens into one of the property's most versatile spaces.

Currently used as a summer lounge, this room could become a second sitting room, office, hobby room, studio or games room according to your needs.

The room benefits from a beamed ceiling, tiled flooring and attractive double-glazed patio doors installed in December 2023. These open directly onto the large terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

FIRST FLOOR

The attractive wooden staircase, complete with its original metal balustrade, leads to the upper floor. Halfway up, a timber-framed wall adds further character before reaching a hallway serving the first bedroom.

Adjacent is a shower room comprising a shower, wash basin, WC and extractor fan.

Continuing upstairs, the staircase opens onto a spacious landing with beautiful wooden flooring and a superb beamed ceiling. Large original wooden doors lead into Bedrooms Two and Three, whilst a generous window frames yet another countryside view.

An adjoining shower room comprises a shower, wash basin, WC and radiator.

BEDROOM THREE

The largest bedroom in the house enjoys dual-aspect views from two windows, one overlooking the countryside to the front of the property and the second capturing views of the rolling hills and mountains beyond.

Its adjoining shower room includes a shower, wash basin, WC and radiator.

OUTSIDE

The garden has been thoughtfully arranged to provide attractive outdoor spaces throughout the seasons.

To the front of the house, roses add colour and charm, whilst elsewhere you will find shrubs, fruit trees and a productive vegetable garden. Two terraces provide wonderful places to enjoy morning coffee, outdoor dining or simply relax whilst admiring the peaceful surroundings.

The large side terrace is particularly appealing, benefiting from open views across the countryside and towards the mountains in the distance. Imagine summer lunches with family, evening aperitifs with friends or simply sitting quietly listening to birdsong whilst the sun sets over the hills.

A gravelled area beside the terrace offers an ideal location for a garden shed, workshop or wood store.

To one side of the property, a grassy country lane and footpath provide immediate access to the surrounding countryside, making this a perfect location for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers.
