Description

This former farm, with its stone house and numerous outbuildings, is in the Valence-sur-Baise area of the Gers. The property is in a quiet location in an elevated position enjoying fantastic views of the surrounding countryside in all directions. There are no near neighbours and no nuisances. The amenities of the village of Valence area only a few minutes’ drive away.

Of a habitable surface area of 159m, the house comprises on the ground floor a kitchen, dining room, pantry, lavatory and room, and on the first floor 3 bedrooms, bathroom and study. Double glazing, loft insulation and gas central heating (the boiler is old). Work is needed to restore the house and bring it up to modern standards. Some structural work is required, for example the last work to the roof dates back about 20 years.

There is a second house, currently used as a garage, a winestore and stables. The outbuildings offer good potential for conversion (subject to obtaining the requisite planning permission) and this property would suit a purchaser who has a project to create a tourism or events business, such as holiday lets.

The buildings are situated on land of about 6,400m (the exact surface area will require measurement by a land surveyor). It would be possible to purchase a few additional hectares.
