This is a lovely, large (200m2 habitable) renovated Gersoise farmhouse. The house has a wealth of oak beams and colombage, and has been newly renovated with full oil fired central heating, mostly cast iron radiators, and sympathetic double glazing to many windows. The lower floor is an exceptionally large, bright and airy open plan space with two sets of french doors, three large windows, oak posts and beams, floorboards and a modern well equipped kitchen. There are incredible views from nearly all windows and the Pyrénées can sometimes be seen, weather permitting. In the grounds there are four mature oak trees, cherry, apple, bay, peach and horse chestnut trees, amongst others.
The house is in the Gers department of South West France, although it is also situated within a few minutes drive of the Landes, Pyrénées Atlantique, and Haute Pyrénées departments. It is set in an acre of grounds (4550m2) and has a number of outbuildings which could easily be converted into additional accommodation (Gîtes/Chambres d’Hôte) or workshops. The outbuildings total about 300m2 of floor space, and include a pigeonnier. The house is set in farmland and vineyards, but is within a few minutes of a lively village with newsagent, small supermarket, pharmacy, bakery, butcher, bar/restaurant, hairdresser and public swimming pool; and within 15 minutes of the larger towns of Riscle and Aire sur l’Adour, which have all amenities. The nearest airport is at Pau (40 minutes) which is served by Ryanair from Stansted, and it is about 90 minutes from Biarritz, 90 minutes from the ski slopes of the Pyrénées, and about 2 hours from Bordeaux and Toulouse.
