Situated in a lively market town, this traditional maison-de-maitre has been fully renovated and really makes the most of the beautiful light-filled, large rooms. There are currently 3-bedrooms / 2-bathrooms but there is scope to increase the living space. Surrounded by a very pretty garden and with a garage, outbuilding and off-road parking, this is house with lots of potential.

The impressive stone staircase is at the heart of the house and is central to the flow of the house which works so well. There is currently 265m2 habitable space, but is may also be possible to convert the attic and there is also a separate house in the garden, formerly the office, that also offer potential for renovation (subject to planning.) Here is the current layout:

Ground floor

Entrance hall - 20m2

Stairwell - 10m2

Sitting room - 24.87m2 with double windows and fire place

Dining room - 23m2 with fireplace & view of the garden

Kitchen - 16m2 with fireplace and windows overlooking the garden

Back kitchen - 4.45m2 with door to the cellar

Cellar - 43m2

Room for finishing (would make a great snug sitting room or ground floor bedroom) - 20.47m2 with fireplace

Annex - 9.71m2

First floor

Landing - 19.75m2

Master bedroom - 16m2

Ensuite bathroom - 12m2 with bath

Bedroom 2 - 25m2 with bath & sink

Bedroom 3 - 17.7m2 with annex room that could be a bathroom or dressing room

The recent renovation work has resulted in a C-rated DPE listing and the house is a very comfortable home, year round. The new installations include an air-source heat pump, insulation, thermodynamic water heater, and double-glazed aluminium windows on the garden side of the house.

Outside

The gardens are a particularly lovely part of this property. Covering an area of 1/4 acre, a wrought-iron front gate leads you down a palm-tree lined path to the front door. A lovely walled garden is a real sun-trap and a great place to make the most of the sunshine, particularly early spring and late summer as the air begins to chill but the sun still has some warmth to it. The cobbled terrace area is ideal for alfresco dining and there is also a vine-covered shaded area if you want to beat a retreat during the heat of the day.

The former cottage/office (22.87m2) will need renovation work, but it adjoins the house so there is the possibility to knock through and increase the living space in the main house or keep it as a separate, independent building that could offer gite potential. Other outbuildings include the two garages 25m2 and 37m2. There is also a boiler workshop 19.78m2 with a De Dietrich oil boiler that can kick in in case of severe temperature drops

Location:

The house is situated in the lively, attractive market town of Boulogne-sur-Gesse where there is a big undercover and open air market square, that the locals make good use of throughout the year for various events and market days. The town has several restaurants and a good range of independent shops as well as two supermarkets.

Lac de la Gimone, just outside the town, is a real feature of the area. Running along the Gers/Haute-Garonne border, it is a fantastic spot to swim throughout the year: wonderful to cool off in the summer months and also great if you are partial to a nippy dip in the winter months! This is a great spot for walking, picnicking and playing.

This is a great area to explore with lots of interesting town, villages and historical features to visit and Toulouse airport is just 1hr 10 mins away. The Pyrenees mountains are about an hour away.
