Pretty L shaped house dating from 1863 with outbuildings in a attractive rural location.
Situated in the south of the Gers, a few minutes drive from the large village of Viella which has a good range of basic facilities including a doctor, P.O. chemist, several shops, a communal swimming pool and a friendly, family run restaurant. The house is in a rural location with lovely views across the Madiran vineyards. The position is secluded but not isolated, with several other properties dotted around the hillside. Viella provides most of the daily requirements but for greater choice the market town of Aire sur L'Adour is about 20 minutes away. This has most facilities including a hospital and all levels of schooling. Pau airport with its daily flight to London Stanstead is less than an hour's drive. Bordeaux, the Atlantic coast, the Pyrénées and the Spanish border are all within an easy two hours drive.
House - 220m² + potential for developing the first floor. Outbuildings -250m² The house has a good range of buildings and the whole property is arranged in an "L", around a gravelled courtyard, ringed by mature trees.
All the accommodation is on the ground floor. Although the first floor has the same surface area it has not yet been developed. The current owners restored the ground floor with the intention of letting it but they have now decided to sell. They have installed gas central heating, and renewed the wiring and plumbing. 5 steps lead up to the double oak doors which open into a hall, 2.2m x 9m, with old terracotta floor tiles and woodstrip ceiling. Salon 6m x 6.2m, with marble fireplace, pretty ornamental overmantel, 2 windows, lovely walnut built-in cupboards, terracotta floor tiles and plastered ceiling. This is the only room in the house which remains to be restored. Kitchen, 6m x 6.2m, with large open fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove, woodstrip ceiling, exposed beams, 2 windows, door to outside, very basic units and the following equipment: dishwasher, washing machine, hob, hood and fridge/freezer. Most of the equipment is new. Bedroom (1), 6m x 4.6m, with woodstrip ceiling, window, terracotta floor tiles and pretty wooden fireplace. Bedroom (2), 4m x 4m, with woodstrip ceiling, terracotta floor tiles and window. Corridor with ceiling-hatch to first floor and access to bedroom (3).Bedroom (3), 3m x 4m, with beams, polished-concrete floor and window. Bathroom - newly installed - with shower, basin, window (lovely view of a tamarisk tree) and separate wc.
2000m² of land comprising of gravelled courtyard and surrounding parkland. Main barn, 31m x 6.5m, south facing, stone-built and in reasonable condition, with large open arched entrance, double doors, windows and ladder to upstairs. Wine chai, 7m x 9m, stone-built and forming the corner of the "L" between the house and the main barn. The roof of this building has collapsed and needs to be entirely replaced. This was the former "chai" for making wine and still has some impressive old barrels. Despite the need to re-roof the former chai the property is generally in good condition and the price is realistic, taking into consideration the cost of this work. With the roof replaced and the possible conversion of the first floor this could be a spacious and comfortable home in a pretty area of undulating countryside.
