In a friendly little hamlet, 5 minutes' drive from La Romieu, arguably one of the prettiest villages in Gascony, and less than 15 minutes from Condom, is this beautifully presented former presbytery, set in a walled garden of approximately 1.000m². The accommodation is light, spacious and comfortable, with pretty views over the open Gascon countryside.

The property is set back from the local lane and entered via double wooden gates into a gravelled parking area. The garden is attractively designed with herbaceous plants, shrubs,  specimen trees and terracing.
