Property Details
Description
This stunning spacious 7-bed house is for sale near Bassoues in the Marciac area of the Gers. The spaces are quite incredible, particularly the library and living room of the north wing. The house either makes a splendid whole or could be used as two houses, separate but connected by the glassed vestibule and upstairs walkway.
Situated in a beautiful, peaceful and bucolic setting with no nuisances and no near neighbours, the property offers lovely views of the surrounding countryside reaching to the Pyrenees on a clear day. In the north wing, there are windows the full length of the walls on the ground and first floors which not only let the light flood in but also frame the lovely views and surrounding nature. The land totals 1 ha (2.47 acres).
Of a total habitable surface area of 421 m2, there are 6 main bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, study, library,salon and living room as well as an attic bedroom. There are many beautiful features, particularly the stone floor of the fantastic living room of 70m with its fireplace and window the length of the wall. Character features abound, including exposed beams and stonework, even if this is a contemporary rebuild of a maison de maitre. There are also unusual features which one does not find in an ancient house such as the balcony, upstairs walkway, courtyard with its fabulous olive tree, covered terrace and glass-walled vestibule.
As for outbuildings, there is storage and a utility room next to the house. There are various options for installing a swimming pool, subject to obtaining the requisite planning permission.
