Character stone Manor House for sale, South West France

Post by BP1355 »

We are selling our ancient (circa 1313) stone fortified manor house located in the heart of Gascony, South West France. Our children are growing up and soon to leave us therefore we are downsizing.

The house has two substantial buildings, one of which has been fully and sympathetically renovated, some key features are:
• Four en suite bedrooms, including one in the tower (very romantic)
• Three of the ensuites have baths and one is a wet room
• Large open plan living and kitchen area with log burner
• Underfloor heating
• Study area
• Large patio

The other building has been partially renovated (new roof, boiler and electricity supply etc) and only requires an internal refit. It could easily contain 3 to 4 bedrooms and would provide an up market Gite (or two) and/or Chambres d’hotes. This overlooks our private courtyard.

We have extensive park land, planted with many new trees and are entirely fenced. The patio offers views across this to the forest, which offers many miles of walking and access to two small lakes.

The house is situated on the edge of a very friendly village, which has its own well stocked shop/post office and a restaurant.

There is a lot of history associated with the house, it seems to be seat of an ancient Barony and was sacked by the English Black Prince in 1355. Visit our history blog to learn more about the history and the local area:
