In Gascony, in the Gers, this property, currently used as a gîte, is located in an attractive hill-top village, a short drive from Condom, within walking distance of the shops, bank, restaurants, café/bar, hairdressers, schools, doctors, physiotherapist, and the weekly market.  Whilst there is no garden, an attractive first floor terrace provides an agreeable outdoor living space with views over neighbouring gardens.

OVERVIEW

This old two-storey stone village house is ready to move into, complete with the furnishings.  It has beautifully restored first floor accommodation of approx. 80m², comprising two bedrooms, a sitting area or office, two bathrooms, exceptional fitted and equipped kitchen, living room and a terrace for outdoor meals and relaxation in the sun. The house is used for part of the year as the present owner’s holiday home and partly as self-catering holiday accommodation.

On the ground floor there is a former shop, workshop, one-car garage and storeroom.  For a purchaser requiring an additional 80m² of accommodation, architect-drawn plans are available for conversion of the ground floor into a separate two-bedroom living unit incorporating living-room, bathroom, kitchen and terrace. These plans could be adapted to provide additional accommodation to integrate with the existing first-floor accommodation.

Furniture, light fittings, floor coverings and curtains are included in the price. An inventory is available.

Services include mains drainage, town water, electricity, electric hot water storage system, electric radiators and wood-burning stove.  Telephone and broadband connection are readily available, with a telephone point already in the house.  Most doors and windows on the first floor are double-glazed.
