Property Description

A handsome country house dating from the mid 19C with an open aspect and views south to the distant Pyrenees. Set off a minor road, the property is approached via a gated archway with substantial hedges increasing the privacy. The body of the main house is two large rooms on each floor but with generous proportions, multiple windows and high ceilings. A long wing of outbuildings adjoins on the west and has ready potential to create further living or working space. Immediately habitable, the accommodation would benefit from partial redecoration and updating of kitchen and bathrooms. Pleasant gardens to the front and rear with swimming pool and conservatory. Close by are woods and a large lake attracting wildlife. 1km from a small market village. 35kms SW of Auch. Pau 60 minutes. Toulouse airport 90 minutes.
