Substantial estate with pool, 5 bedroom and 5 bathrooms Beautiful Maison de Maitre in Tranquil Rural Location This lovely maison de maitre sits in a quiet location within easy driving distance of Condom and is typical of the classical and symmetrically square Gascon manor house for which the area is renowned. The property is located along a quiet country lane, with a long driveway ensuring complete privacy. The property sits in the middle of a plot of just over three hectares. The circular driveway lends an elegant note of grandeur and the trees, shrubs and bushes - all of which are mature - add inherent interest to the landscape. To each side of the main house lie the vestiges of the old estate, with the property's vast barns, converted stable block and guesthouse. The original door to the main entrance opens onto a classical Gascon hallway which bisects the property. To each side there is a sitting-room or salon. Both of these rooms are warm and welcoming with the informal grandeur of a fine country manor house. One has built in bookshelves around the central fireplace, he other - also with an original fireplace, is relaxed in ambiance with doors to the vast country kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home: a triple sized room, with a central island and kitchen area, with storage units to each side of an AGA. On the other side is a breakfast kitchen or dining-room area, with a large table before an original open fireplace, with doors to the sheltered walled garden, with magnificent views of the pigeoneer and the barns, beyond which lies the pool and a gentle lawned area with fruit trees. Also, to be found on the ground floor, is a downstairs cloakroom area, with a WC and a door to the cellar below. The cellar is a vast two-roomed area, which houses the boiler and provides plenty of room for a healthy stock of wine and preserves. To the far end of the downstairs cloakroom, there is a laundry room. The property has the advantage of a spacious downstairs bedroom, which has an en-suite bathroom, just like the four upstairs bedrooms. The staircase to the first floor sits at the far end of the hallway, and turns elegantly to the first floor, where it opens out onto a grand hallway, which mirrors that of the ground floor. Upstairs there are four more bedrooms, each with the advantage of having its own en-suite shower or bathroom. The bedrooms all have high ceilings and wooden floors, and are reminiscent of the 18th century Gascon farmhouse, with tall windows which flood the rooms with light. There is a sense of space and of light throughout the property. This is an elegant home, which offers many period features, but which shies away from the rustic. This is a home which offers its new owners a rural life, but with a touch of grandeur, and a decided sense of space. The flow of rooms each to the next, is in perfect harmony. In the grounds of the property there are two guest houses. The first is a clever conversion of a stable block, which manages to still resemble a stable, with the original floor and boxes for the horses, and yet to have been transformed into a lovely residence for the guardians of the property, who have made a snug home within. On the other side of the internal courtyard there is a second guest house, which is more rustic in style, with a downstairs living room and kitchen, and two upstairs bedrooms. In addition to the two guest houses, two vast barns offer a plentitude of space, and the beautiful pigeonnier provides an arched entrance to the pool, as well as a characterful reminder that we are in the heart of south west France. This is an estate which has preserved a sufficient number of original features, and components such as the barns (the sheer size of these is a testament to the productivity of this estate in years gone by) and yet it has been transformed by its current owners into a relaxed, and informal home, combining modern comfort with period charm. Highly recommended by Bliss - not least bec
