Surrounded by fields, the village on the hill-top in the background, acres of private land, a long and winding drive and then, the property. A beautifully converted farmhouse with space and light and character, with an attached gîte in very good condition, a pigeonnier where all the main works have been done, stables, a garage/workshop and a pool with a changing area and covered terrace.

From this space there are four double bedrooms, each with it's own shower room, and one with a balcony. Behind the dining room on the ground floor is a door that leads to the gîte. It can be locked so that the gîte is completely independent (if it is used as a rental property) or left open if you have family and friends. The L-shaped living room/dining room/kitchen is spacious and airy, and nicely finished with a very modern wood-burning stove – a nice touch in such old surroundings. The gîte offers two bedrooms and a lovely shower room, plus an entrance/bureau. In the grounds of this lovely property you also have the pigeonnier where all the major works will be done, and the finishing off will be left to the new owners, to make their mark. It could be a two or three bedroom gîte, depending on how you want to configure the 82m² of space. There are also stables for four horses, and a garage/workshop. The pool quite close to the house but slightly higher so it offers beautiful views of the countryside & the village on the hill-top behind.

New to the market and exclusively with Agence Hamilton, Lectoure – a recently renovated three storey residence built in 1914 & situated about 2kms from the market town of Fleurance. It sits in an acre of wooded park with a 9m x 4.5m swimming pool, surrounded by the beautiful Gers countryside. This type of ‘maison bourgeoise' in such good condition is rare in the Gers. The entrance is on the first floor, up a sweep of stone steps with a 1914 mosiac at the top – the year the house was built. The entrance hall with original parquet floor and high ceiling leads you to a bureau and WC on the right and to an en-suite bedroom and salon on the left, both with fireplaces, doors to the balcony with fabulousriver views and again, the original parquet flooring. The balcony is an enormous bonus and perfect for sitting out in spring, summer and autumn, and has even been used for drinks on Christmas Eve! A wooden staircase leads down to the kitchen level with stone/mosiac floors and the original glass and wooden doors. Here you have a large functional kitchen, a dining room and a room to renovate. All these rooms give on to the covered terrace. If opened up, you could have a kitchen/dining room of 43m². There is also a large cupboard, a laundry room and a WC on this floor. Upstairs you find three en-suite bedrooms all in lovely condition with original parquet floors and high ceilings. Two of the bedrooms have two large windows and a fireplace. The third has been built in to the tower of the house and is smaller and cosy. All the bathrooms are new, put in in 2013. The cottage was a ruin until 2012, unused for nearly 40 years. It has been made into a delightful three bedroom home with the charm and authenticity of an old fermette with modern levels of comfort – new electrics, underfloor heating, double glazed windows and doors, new roof and insulation etc. You enter into the kitchen/family room of 34m² with large windows and a glass door to bring in the light. The cottage is south facing so catches the sun in the winter as well as the summer. There is a salon/TV room of 19m² with a large built in cupboard. To the right of the kitchen there are two bedrooms (15m² and 12m²) with a lovely bathroom. On the other side of the house is the parental suite – a large bedroom of over 17m² with doors to the garden, large cupboards and a private bathroom with shower. Under the same roof, you find another bedroom and shower room with its own separate entrance. This could be used for friends and family, or as office space, or could be brought into the habitable space of the house by knocking through. The laundry room, atelier, boiler room and attic finish the cottage space. It is all under one roof so compact and tidy, but there really is space here to play with. The 9m x 4,5m swimming pool had a new liner in 2013 and is fully-fenced. The flat garden or ‘park' is beautiful – full of mature trees and bushes with space for a vegetable garden and room for everyone to find their own spot. The drive up to the house through the trees is really magical. This property works as a gîte/B&B, as a space for two families or an extended family to live together, as a holiday home – there are lots of possibilities. For further information please do not hesitate to contact Agence Hamilton at Lectoure on 05 62 29 59 57.

On the outskirts of Lectoure this property sits in an elevated position with views overlooking the valley, with rolling fields that tumble down to the nearest local village and draw the eye to the distant horizon. The white stone pathway carves a path through the hillside to the top where the estate comprises two stone houses : the first being the main house, with two separate gîtes, the second, sitting at a generous distance, a recently restored property developed in keeping with traditional Gascon style. The main house forms a pleasant ''L'' shape to its atelier, with a white stone courtyard in-front leading down to lawns. We enter the property through a separate entrance hall and glimpse the original carved stone stairway to the first floor. The internal hallway leads to an impressive reception-room which has been converted from an existing barn in its entirety and uses this vast space as one single room, with high ceilings and the framework of the original oak beams. At one end of the room there is an open fireplace, at the other a black wood-burning stove. The room currently comprises a sitting-area and a pool table, with an impressive metal-framed window, which lends a contemporary feel to the room. The white stone walls are exposed and the room flooded with light, with the metal window framing the courtyard and gardens to perfection. The main reception-room could easily encompass a formal dining-table in addition as the room is vast enough to encompass far more furniture than it currently holds. The kitchen has a bright and colourful feel of Provence with views to the pool and the rear terrace. Aside from the storage space accorded by the fitted kitchen, there is a handy walk-in storage room or pantry. The kitchen itself is spacious enough for a large breakfast-table. On the ground-floor there is a cloakroom/WC, and with access via an inner hallway the downstairs bedroom. The bedroom, currently used as the master-bedroom, has en-suite shower facilities with a WC, and a dressing-room. The bedroom has a window overlooking the front entrance and gardens and French doors to the pool at the rear. The stairway to the first floor is of particular note. Hewn into the white stone of Gascony it adds a characterful note of authenticity. On the upper level is a vast bedroom with a wooden floor and feature beams with a small washbasin in the corner. It would be easy to imagine a larger en-suite bathroom in the corner in such a large room. On this level there is a second bedroom, a separate WC and bathroom with two washbasins and a shower. The owners use the rooms described so far as their main home, but the property offers far more converted space which could be used either as a separate guest accommodation, or in the case of the next two rooms, additional bedroom space to the main property. Adjacent to the main house and forming part of the structure to the main « L » shape of the building are two separate stone « units » each with a separate entrance. One could imagine opening an internal doorway to the main house or continuing to use the two additional stone « apartments » or « cottages » with access from the garden. Both have been restored in keeping with the main house, with exposed white stone walls. The first building has a salon on the ground-floor level, with a shower-room and separate WC. The floors are lain with polished terracotta tiles. Upstairs, with access via a beautiful stone staircase, there is a double bedroom, providing self-contained accommodation. The neighbouring « cottage » or unit has a different lay-out. Downstairs there is a kitchen area in the main living-space, with a downstairs cloakroom/WC. On the first floor, with contemporary polished concrete steps, there is a separate spacious bathroom, with a corner-bath, shower, and wash basin and wooden-floors in the double- bedroom. The second cottage adjoins an outside garage space: tool-shed. The second building sits at the far side of the ga

Built after the French Revolution, this grand estate was once the largest producing Armagnac farm in the area. This sizeable Gascon property, comprising outbuildings, barns and a separate guest-house, sits in a tranquil position far from any other neighbours or roads and enjoys a bucolic backdrop with 14 hectares of private park and woodland. The property has a typically Gascon ''look'' with its pale cream façade, and light blue shutters. The gardens are substantial with many mature trees, shrubs and plants. The park is a riot of colour with plenty of space in which to lose oneself. The entrance to the property is gated with high walls to each side, ensuring a sense of privacy, with a separate gated entrance via a small private courtyard leading to the guest house. The wrought iron gates open onto an elegant driveway, with lawns extending as far as the eye can see, with many different shrubs, flowers and trees. The pool is set at a discreet distance and not visible from the house. This property has all the feel of a grand rural estate, with the promise of tranquillity. It has been the main place of residence for the same family for many years and proved to be a comfortable family home, with the feel of a well-lived in, much loved home. Like many Gascon properties the main house is bisected on the by a large central hallway (2,1m x 8,7m), with a first-floor hallway mirroring the one on the ground floor. The ceiling has feature beams. All of the doors which lead from the central hallway have glass panels which creates a sensation of light throughout the house. This property is unusual as there is a second spacious hallway, which cuts across the first, to form the shape of a cross, creating a pleasant flow from room to room, north/south and east/west. All of the rooms are generous in size, each with a specific purpose, either formal or informal - which is one of the advantages of having so much space! Through the main door, and on the left of the entrance hall, there is a spacious kitchen and breakfast room. The far end of the kitchen is fitted with kitchen units, with the front section offering space for a large table and chairs in the corner, and an armchair by the second window. This room is comfortable and cosy and often used as an informal sitting room. A cream coloured double-fronted stove with a gas hob has been inserted inside an old fireplace with a wooden mantlepiece, lending the room a rustic farmhouse ambiance. The kitchen is large enough to incorporate an informal sofa area by the window with views to the front garden. The floor has terra-cotta style tiles with two windows to the front gardens. On the opposite side of the hallway is a snug, or sitting-room, which is elegant yet comfortable, with two windows, and a fireplace. Glass panelled doors to the hallway keep the room and hallway light and bright. Original oak beams run across the length of the ceiling and there are old oak beams set into the walls. A modern style ''insert'' wood-burning stove has been inserted into a fireplace with a stone surround. The floor is laid with modern terra-cotta tiles. To the rear of the ''snug'' or sitting-room a formal dining-room has been set up in a transversal hallway with French doors to the garden. On the other side of the hallway there is a spacious cloakroom and cellar area, with a downstairs cloakroom/WC. To the rear of the property, on the other side of the dining-room, there is a formal reception-room (5,7 x 8,2) which is spacious in size. This is a lovely light room, decorated in pale creams and yellows, with a tiled floor and an ''insert'' wood-burner slotted into the old fireplace. On the other side of the hallway from the formal sitting-room, there is a useful utility room, vast in size (5m x 8.6m2), with a separate linen-room (2,5 x 3,5), boot-room (2,7 x 4,6) and wine -cellar 2,2 x 3,5). This section of the house houses all the practical white goods, co

Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms (25 m² to 27 m²) and another 25 m² hall. The house has 4 fireplaces in working order. The attic measures 100 m² and is suitable for conversion, perfect for increasing the living space if you plan to create gites or bed-and-breakfast rooms.

This magnificent property dates back to the late 17th / early 18th century and sits in a privileged position in the heart of town close to the cathedral and market square. Once part of a much larger property which incorporated the neighboring building, this grand home served as a luxurious ''prison'' for the town's nobility during their imprisonment at the time of the French Revolution. The property occupies a plot which once the location of a much older building dating back to the middle-ages. At this time the property would have had a courtyard entrance to the front. To the rear of the plot would have been a chapel, the vestiges of which remain today, providing a rich and architecturally interesting backdrop to the intimate and walled gardens. Today the building sits flush to the road, and as a testimony to the grandeur of its period its grand doorway separates the property from the hustle and bustle of the market. This is a lively town, yet once the door closes, we step into a place where both silence and privacy are afforded. A long hallway cuts through the building, past the grand stone staircase which dates back to the 17th century, via a cloakroom/WC, to the grand reception at the rear of the property with views onto the walled garden. The reception-room has been recently and tastefully decorated, an open fireplace occupying a central position in the room. French doors open onto the terrace, a pathway leading through the gardens, to the pool. At the far end of the garden the ancient chapel which forms a perfect and dramatic backdrop to the scene, providing a sheltered area of dining beside the heated pool. The stone walls on all four sides of the garden stretch high into the clear blue sky, ensuring total privacy from the neighbouring properties. Beyond the living room, sits the spacious family kitchen with fitted units and space for a large table. The kitchen opens on one side to the gardens and pool, and on the other, to an internal courtyard. Behind the kitchen we discover the boiler room, the garage, a storage space, and access via the rear of the house, to the boutique. This 45m2 shop sits in a central position in town, and should the property's new owners so wish, could be let out to cover some of the running costs which any property of this size would demand. The central staircase rises in majesty to the first floor, with its broad stone steps, smooth with the passage of time. From the first floor to the second, the steps are in wood. The staircase turns to a half landing, with a grand landing on both the first and second floor. The staircase its truly an architectural delight, a vestige of the late 17th century and indicative of the wealthy status the first owners of the property would have had. On the first floor, in addition to the four spacious double bedrooms, each with high ceilings and tall windows, there is a grand billiard room, or upper reception-room. On this level also, we find a shower-room, a bathroom, a dressing-room and a separate WC. The rooms are spaced apart and on each side of the large landing and reception-room. Each of the rooms is in immaculate condition, with lovely wooden floors throughout. The bathrooms are present to a high standard. On the second floor above, there is an appartment with three rooms; two bedrooms, a sitting-room, a shower-room and a kitchen. A vast attic space, divided into two spaces rooms and with a total surface area of 85m2 has already been insulated and boarded out. The ceilings are high and the rooms spacious. To whom might this property appeal? If you ever dreamt of sweeping down a grand stone staircase, like Rebecca at Manderley, this property is certain to appeal. The architecture is pure 18th century, with high ceilings, tall windows, grand spacious rooms with which to fill with armoires or period furnishings. The property offers all the space necessary for a small private family hotel or would lend itself easily to the creation of a business offering rooms of

This country estate dates back to the eighteenth century and sits in an impressive plot of eight hectares of land. It is important to note that the land belonging to the property is not sub-let to farmers and is free from any form of contractual agreement with any third party, so that the future owner may use the land in any way he chooses. The land is currently used as prairie for the owner's horses. It is also of interest to note, at a time where buyers are increasingly worried about the use of pesticides around their home, that the fields immediately surrounding the property belong to a local landowner who, as a passionate advocate of organic farming, has ensured the preservation of an area of natural beauty for as far as the eye can see. The eight hectares sold with the property are ideal for anyone with horses or an agricultural project, or anyone seeking total privacy from neighbouring homes. However, should future buyers wish, an agreement to purchase five of the eight hectares can be negotiated with the neighbouring organic farmer, thus reducing the price of the property by the approximately 60 000 euros. The property itself will appeal to anyone seeking a period property in rural South West France. Between the two main buildings (the main house and the barn which is converted to a guest house) there is a total of nine bedrooms. This property sits in a private backwater, close to the popular market town of Mauvezin and within easy reach of Toulouse international airport. It is also a short drive to many of the popular tourist towns of the Gers such as Lectoure, Fleurance and St Clar. The property is filled with characterful features and has been restored in a sympathetic manner, providing a comfortable home requiring little, if any, work. The roofs have been restored and both the main house, the guest house and the outbuildings are in immaculate condition. Built in the traditional Gascon style, the main door to the farmhouse opens onto a large central hallway, which bisects the property, South to North, with spacious outdoor terraces to both sides. On the ground floor there is a comfortable reception room with an open fireplace in white stone, a library (beautifully fitted) a downstairs kitchen/breakfast room and a dining-room. The floors are a warm colour of terra cotta and are original; the thick oak beams have been lightened to create a soft and gentle interior. The ambiance is gentrified and although it has kept its period features it is not ''rustic''; nor is it dark as so many local farm houses can be. The current library opens directly onto the old ''chai''. Further use may be made of this impressive old building, by the creation of a large reception or billiard room. Such an extension would be technically easy to achieve (with a declaration of a change of usage for the building at the local town-hall and other permissions necessary) since there is already a door in place to link the farm house and the chai, and the current owners have created a flight of beautiful stone stairs to link the two. The conversion of this space is further facilitated by the existing doorways and window openings already in place in the Chai with a sound roof above. To the rear of the property there is a laundry/boiler room, a veranda and a North facing terrace for shade, overlooking a pleasant copse of trees. On the first floor of the main house there are five spacious bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, and a family bathroom. The upper floor benefits from the same wide Gascon hallway as we find on the ground floor. The property has large terraces to the front and rear, facing North and South, and providing pleasant areas of shade throughout the year for outdoor dining. The guest house is divided into two levels, with the upper level offering an immaculate home for a gîte or a private appartment for an extended family. On the ground floor there is a spacious reception room of 64.68m2, with a boot /saddle room for riders, and a large at

One can easily be forgiven when entering this beautiful property, with its impressive portal at the entrance and its long avenue lined with trees, if our imagination were to go beyond and © evoke the image of women adorned with jewelry on the arms of their suitors, descending from horse-drawn carriages to go to the county ball. Our imagination is reinforced by the history of the house and the immediate impression that we have that this house is the ideal place to receive guests - whether there are 200 years - or today! Guests enter the property via a traditional entrance hall that spans the entire length of the house. On the south side there is a fully equipped kitchen, bright and spacious, with a door to the swimming pool. The kitchen opens directly onto the dining room. On the other side of the entrance hall is a large comfortable lounge, which was originally two rooms, with a wood stove in the center. A beautiful wooden staircase leads to the landing of the first floor bathed in sunshine. A south-east facing parental suite includes a large bedroom, a bathroom and a dressing room. One can easily imagine the happiness of waking up with such a light and such a view. On the other side of the landing, there is a second bedroom which shares a bathroom with the third bedroom. The attic has been converted into a fourth bedroom with its bathroom. The current owners have transformed the adjoining barn into a fabulous lounge / reception area, where a central fireplace houses a wood stove in the heart of the room. Tall sliding doors have been installed over an entire section of the barn and lead to a terrace with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The accommodation continues in the barn where four other bedrooms have been created, one of which has a private bathroom. The barn is connected to the main house by an office, a WC, the boiler room, a laundry room and a storeroom. Last but not least, this spacious property surprises us once again with even more rooms in the sheepfold where there are three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and, below, an independent one bedroom apartment . With the addition of a staircase, this part of the property could easily become a completely independent annex to receive guests or to rent in a gite. In the park, the swimming pool is located slightly below the main house and is thus protected from wind and rain. In addition to a room where the technical room of the pool is located as well as additional storage, the pool house houses a kitchen / dining room, a shower / WC and upstairs a bedroom this which is actually a fully independent studio. The property is in excellent condition and sits on just over 1.5 ha of land, which guarantees complete privacy, just 5 minutes from the lively town of Mauvezin and its market. It is only 45 minutes from Toulouse Blagnac airport. Who will like this property? This property would be perfect to become a conference center or guest rooms, and offers multiple possibilities to anyone wishing to set up a business there. It would also work for a large family, or for the rental of cottages and the development of a tourist complex. In both cases, easy access to the airport is a strong argument for potential buyers. What would I do if this property belonged to me? Very little - since the current owners have thought of every detail. Exaggerating a bit, I would say that building a carport for guests on the parking lot would be useful for the hottest months of the year. Otherwise - organize a very big party and invite everyone I know. It is the perfect house to receive people. What we like here at Bliss? We like the excellent quality of the renovation. The location of the property is perfect. It enjoys absolute tranquility and offers many different corners where to sit and admire the view. A perfect place to enjoy the Gers countryside with the possibility of also working from home.

This fine home sits in a central position in the heart of an ancient Gascon village, with the main high street the front of the property and a surprising vista to the rear; with far reaching views over fields of vineyards and the distant valley beyond. The contrast of village to the front of the property and vineyards to the rear is perhaps one of the most surprising aspects of this property. The formal entrance, with its high stone pillars and wrought iron gate, strikes a note of formality. This is a house of grace and architectural allure. The parkland around the property and its outbuildings offers an array of formal hedging, smart gravel pathways, lawns and formal sitting areas; in perfect harmony with the style of the property itself. The lawns are dotted with box hedges neatly clipped into smart balls - the formality of the main house contrasting with the faded glory of the outbuildings with the shutters faded by the hot sun: the wood shed and pigeon coop - all of which form part of what is - in reality - a grand estate within a village. As an extension to the main house there is a guest house with a footprint of 80m2 partially renovated (roof and facade) currently used as woodshed and winter garden. The main entrance to the property (painted in elegant muted black) opens directly onto the central hallway. On the ground floor a double sitting-room extends the full length of the hallway with views to the front and the side of the property, The detail on the wooden surround of the fireplace is of interest - along with the wooden flooring and four double height windows in 19th century style ensuring a pleasant flow of sunlight to the room. On the opposite side of the hallways we find a study and a downstairs bedroom with a separate ensuite bathroom. At the end of the hallway there is a dining room - which has the ambiance of a much older property - also with a fireplace - and last but not least the kitchen which is one of the most lovely rooms in the house. This double sized room has been restored to the highest of standards, with a brand new impressive range, a marble sink and new work surfaces throughout.

If your vision of the French countryside is one of long winding country lanes, hedgerows and woodland, with a tapestry of local vineyards with wine-tasting at the local Château meeted out before meandering home (down a tree-lined pathway which seems to place an entire country between you and the bustle of the outside world) then this property could be the essence of your dreams! There is nothing and no-one to disturb the silence. Wander down to the newly designed pool, dressed as nature intended if the desire should so take you, party til your heart's content, the only sound to carry on the warm Gascon air is that of birdsong and the distant rumble of the farmer's tractor combing the distant field. Winding back in time some seven years, this property was one whose song was always one of privacy and location. This is Bliss. Not a place to forget your baguette or bottle of Côtes de Gascogne without having to retrace the woodland pathway back to the local village albeit only a short drive away). Once home however, the tranquil location of this property will offer the chance of an escape from the world few others ever could. Through their own admission, the current owners are laugh over their obsession with detail and perfection. Monsieur et Madame wanted a French country home to reflect the beauty of the local architecture, but having lived a life of travel and having grown accustomed to the comforts of five-star accommodation, there was never any question that there French home would offer anything less than the utmost comfort. This would be a French home for a princess - and the work would be carried out by a team of expert local builders under the careful surveillance of the owners, to transform a vast and rural country house into nothing less than a palace. With perfection and comfort in mind, the house was stripped back to the naked bones of the beautiful and impressive stone building it is. It was rebuilt and re-designed, in keeping with the authenticity one would demand of a French county home. New underfloor heating was laid beneath the harmonious white stone floors, the heating system was entirely re-visited (an efficient and ecological wood-pellet system with a silo tucked away in the barn), new electrics, a fabulous designer kitchen, and new plumbing, and bathrooms installed throughout. The terraces and gardens were re-designed and the stone walls around the property's garden rebuilt. The pool was placed in an ideal and sheltered position benefiting from far reaching views across woodland and fields. The result is an astonishing amount of work and a home which offers comfort, simplicity and plain good taste in equal measure. Having travelled and stayed in hotels all their lives, it is as if the owners poured every ounce of pent-up energy into this home. Beyond anything this has been an affair of the heart. A love affair with France and with this location and this old stone farmhouse. We enter the property into a grand and spacious kitchen, with a sweeping granite worksurface which curves its way across the room, dividing the work and entertaining space. The floors are white stone, matching the exposed stone walls. The kitchen is as spotless as the day it was installed and as well as the breakfast bar, an old pine table enjoys the views to the front of the property beside two feature windows. The rear wall has an arched alcove where there was once the old bread-oven. The watchword with this property is light. Light floods the kitchen and the main reception room, where the expansive barn door has been glassed in to provide a picture-frame to the gardens, the terrace and the countryside beyond. Light fills the house from top to bottom. The main reception room, the size of an entire barn (in England we would slot an entire house in here) has a fantastic timber roof which arches high above, and to make full use of this impressive head height, a mezzanine library has been installed with a contemporary corkscrew staircase to

This impressive estate sits at the entrance to Lectoure in the heart of the countryside in over three hectares of pasture and woodland, just a few minutes' drive from the centre of town. This property is secluded and utterly peaceful, without being isolated. This property is unusual in so far as it offers: a manor house, a second large stone house, a vast stone barn providing a workshop, a garage, a large contemporary urban-style office with separate access, and two stables, a sizeable plot of land, two beautiful woods and a pool. The property faces south with views over the rich and rolling valleys of Lectoure with the picturesque cameo of the Château de Plieux etched on the horizon. A long white chalk driveway leads from the road via the private woodland and pasture, past the second stone house and to the main ''maison de maitre.'' Here, a dry-stone wall encircles an ancient chestnut tree which provides valuable shade in the summer and place for parking. The property is a typical Gascon manor house. This house, part of which was once a watchtower, is covered in ivy whose leaves vary in shade from summer greens to brightest reds in autumn. The original door opens onto a wide and generous hallway which runs the full length of the house to the gardens and terrace at the rear. The rooms are laid out symmetrically. On the left there is a dining-room with a decorative marble fireplace; to the right a formal reception-room with a large open fireplace overlooking a shady east-facing terrace. There is a long galley-styled laundry and boot-room with an outside door. The kitchen sits at the far end of the hallway. This is a spacious « L » shaped room with double-aspect windows to the north and to the west. The kitchen offers a blend of traditional style with its exposed stone walls, and contemporary modern furnishings. On the other side of the hallway from the kitchen is the family sitting-room, warm in ambiance, with a black wood-burning stove and French-doors to the gardens. A beautiful and original staircase curves gracefully up to the first floor. In the first section, a master suite faces south, comprising a very large bedroom, a bathroom with a free-standing bath, two separate sink units and a study/dressing-room which could also be used as a separate double bedroom with shared use of the parental bathroom. This area has a separate WC On the other side of the hallway there is a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and dressing-room, and two further bedrooms which share a family bathroom with a corner bath/shower and separate WC The original staircase has been extended to the second floor where a loft-style bedroom beneath the eaves provides an ideal studio for older children or a nanny with a separate bath and shower room and a dressing room. The property provides further accommodation in a second house which is entirely different in character from the first. The second house feels closer to a Chartreuse in character and is too spacious and beautiful to be labelled a ''gîte'' or ''guest house''. This is a sizeable property in its own right, and future owners of the house could easily decide to turn this into their main home, letting out the maison de mâitre. The second house benefits from a vast open-plan reception-room and kitchen opening onto two spacious downstairs bedrooms, two bathrooms (one of which is en-suite). The upper floor of the building with its old wattle and daub ''colombage'' walls has been boarded out with water pipes pre-lain to provide space for two further bedrooms and a bathroom. The upper floor is currently accessible via a ladder. The current owners will leave the choice of the staircase to future buyers along with the completion of a third upstairs bathroom, for which the preparatory work of laying pipes and putting in drains is already complete. The property reserves yet a further surprise! The current owner has developed a private office in a different section of the barn. This impressive space, with its
