Very striking barn conversion in modern style with adjoining guest accommodation. Beautiful garden with pool. Superb views.
This is a striking looking barn conversion done in modern style. It is in a rural setting, not far from a village, and is private but not isolated. It is approached from a country lane down a long driveway where electric gates open onto a gravelled courtyard. . The property is a happy mix of old and new, with the size and height of the old barn and its adjoining buildings put to the best use, retaining features such as beams and some colombage (half timbering). Modern features include geothermal heating; reverse air conditioning i.e. air is cooled in summer and warmed in winter; double glazing; central vacuuming system; remote control electric shutters. There are two sections to the property – the main house, and the adjoining guest accommodation which would be ideal for B&B rentals, or, slightly adjusted, would make a gîte. This looks as if it was a pigeonnier at one time and is tower-like in appearance. The main entrance goes directly into a large, open-plan area starting with a grand salon and dining room with ceramic tiled floor – here the height and the original ‘charpente’ (roof timbers) are impressive; a steel staircase goes to a mezzanine gallery used as a study, off which is a storeroom and access to attic space. An archway goes to the fitted kitchen, with beams, inset lights, Sauter induction hob and built-in Neff oven and micro-wave. There is access to a utility and freezer room, which leads to a rear hallway, off which is the sleeping accommodation towards the back, and a smaller lounge/TV room to the side. This, in turn, comes full circle, through an archway, to the grand salon. There are 4 double bedrooms, 3 of which have glazed doors directly to the back garden. They each have beams and parquet floors. There is a family bathroom (corner bath, separate shower, 2 basins set in a vanity unit), and separate WC. The 2 adjoining guest rooms are each of 2 floors. Each has a large double bedroom, separate WC, and bathroom.
There is land of 4,200m2, just over an acre, with lawns and mature trees and shrubs, with a swimming pool 8m x 4m, paved terrace, and some superb views of rolling countryside. At the L shape, where the house and the guest accommodation meet, is a covered terrace with barbecue.
The property is situated on the eastern side of the Gers about 50kms SE of Auch, in the countryside but not isolated. Nearest village shop is 3kms. Nearest market town with all facilities is 8kms. Toulouse international airport 40 minutes.
