A delightful townhouse with a walled garden just steps away from the bustling high street, yet preserving a quiet elegance and gentle tranquility with a beautiful private garden
This property has been completely renovated the roof, electricity, plumbing, heating system, bathrooms and kitchens have all been entirely replaced during the renovations. The property is ready to move into immediately and is designed tastefully in neutral tones. The property is light and elegant with a pleasant mix of contemporary and period features.
This property has the added advantage of having an additional studio with kitchen, shower room and reception area. This studio appartment can be linked to the main house or used as a separate dwelling for guests and has its own separate entrance in the street behind the house.
The Garden
The enclosed garden provides the perfect amount of outdoor space whilst being the perfect size for easy maintenance. There are a number of mature trees, including palm trees there are both sunny and shaded spots for those hot summer months
A stone path leads from the garden up a couple of steps to a spacious wooden terrace and to the door to the main house.
We enter the main house from the garden, the walk through the small and newt garden heightening our sense of “leaving the world behind” and yet being just a stone’s throw away from the bakery, local cafés and restaurants.
The Ground Floor
This spacious reception room comprises a living-area and large open plan kitchen. The large windows overlooking the garden flood the room with sunlight.
There is a wood-burning stove for cozy winter nights in-front of a movie.
It should be noted that as an extension to the ground floor of the main house we can also access (via a connecting door) the ground floor of the separate studio apartment, thus entering a second reception area with a kitchen. The studio has undergone the same tasteful renovations as the main house.
Back to the Main house &
The First Floor
The staircase is a remarkable feature in itself as it is flooded with daylight from the huge skylight in the high ceiling above a real bonus on a rainy day and a juxtaposition of light and shadow on a sunny day depending on the hour.
This part of the property adds a delightful contemporary note to the home and ensures a sensory light-filled experience every time you ascend to the first floor.
From the landing, we can see that the first floor has been expertly divided into two large and luxurious suites. On our right is the first suite a sunny, spacious bedroom with three gorgeous windows and wooden floors, a large walk-in closet, separate Wc and a beautiful shower room.
On the other side of the landing is the second suite, almost as spacious in size. This comprises a large shower room, Wc, a double bedroom with two windows, ornamental fireplace, and an alcove/dressing area which is equipped with a water connection should this be required in the future
Second Floor
There are two good-sized rooms on the second floor, and although this section of the property is under the eaves, there is more than enough space for a bedroom and a large study.
The vast skylight on the landing, as well as the smaller ones on both sides, are all original features and were newly fitted when the roof was replaced.
The Cave
Not all town houses in the Gascony have basements, but this one is an exception. It is accessed by a small door below the living room, and provides enough space to store wood and other items, and to keep the hot water heater in a safe and dry place. It is an ideal spot for a secret store of wine.
The Garage
This is a real plus for a town house, and although only spacious enough to park a small car, it is the perfect space to keep your bicycles and gardening equipment. It has been well renovated, in keeping with the entire property, and has a separate workshop area. A door leads to the first-floor studio with balcony.
Our thoughts at Bliss
Here at this property, you would be forgiven for feeling you are in a rural secluded cottage but with one immense advantage – the garden doors open onto a vibrant town from which you can visit its eclectic shops and excellent restaurants, as well as benefiting from all the amenities a town offers, such as doctors, a cinema (with original version screenings), theatre, concerts, and more.
