Spacious Renovated Farmhouse With Pool And Tennis Court
An authentic period house, ideal for holidays, with generous dimensions and many original features in a peaceful location in the heart of Armagnac country with fine views yet close to several market towns with restaurants and shops.
The property has been skilfully restored by master craftsmen with a pleasing combination of exposed stonework and oak beams. The restoration was conceived specifically as a summer holiday home and for some years has been run successfully for holiday lettings. With two living rooms, six bedrooms (of which one on the ground floor) and five shower/bathrooms the property can sleep a dozen or more people in comfort. There is a large kitchen/dining room for entertaining ‘en famille’ and useful drying/laundry/storage areas. As a permanent home it would require the addition of central heating but could be installed at a modest cost.
The grounds are laid to well-tended lawns with a wide variety of trees and shrubs and two ancient ponds full of frogs, turtles and dragonflies and moorhens. A large sunbathing and dining terrace links the house with the heated pool, 12x6m, and there are uninterrupted views of the countryside. An all-weather tennis court has a basketball net and was resurfaced in 2010.
