Saint-Nicolas-de-la-Grave
A stately and sunny 19th-century dwelling, with its ornamental grounds, swimming pool and holiday cottage, 55 minutes from Toulouse. A secondary road, rarely frequented, runs parallel to the property on one side, which is, in turn, bordered by a pink brick wall with coping, topped with spiked wrought-iron fencing and lined with panels in order to shelter the property from view. A wide and tall gate with solid metal leaves is framed by two square pink brick pillars, which abut a building on either side, while the entrance itself opens on to an interior courtyard, covered in white and beige gravel. Flanked on either side by the two edifices and a low wall, it extends over approximately 525 m², and features a central well, clad in brick and Garonne River pebbles. On one side, the courtyard provides access to an L-shaped, two-storey, dual-aspect outbuilding, of approximately 365 m², topped with a barrel tile hipped roof and renovated in 2006, which communicates, in the back, with a meadow featuring flowering shrubs, a swimming pool and a vegetable garden. As for the other side of the courtyard, a two-storey manor house is crowned with a hipped roof and features an inhabitable floor area of approximately 306 m². Extending on from here, a door provides access to a small outbuilding abutting the dwelling, while a double-leaf gate, framed by two square pillars, opens on to a private, tree-filled garden, via a gravel area sheltered from the sun. This garden, extended by a small patio and entirely enclosed by walls, communicates with the rest of the grounds below where a remarkable multi-century cedar stands amidst a variety of different trees.
