Opis:

On the edge of a spa town sits this original 1930's villa built in the style of the Basque region. Retaining many original features it is in good general order but will benefit from a light refreshing. Originally built for a doctor it is currently owned by an artist and has light and airy rooms affording a special atmosphere of tranquility. It is well situated for trips to Spain which is a mere 25 minutes by car, skiing 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on ski station, airports Pau and Toulouse are 1 hour by car and the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts are equidistant at approximately 2.5 hours by car.

The ground floor is entered by the traditional, in Basque houses, east facing doorway into the hallway. The half panelled hallway has original floor tiles and north east and west glazing, there is under stair storage and a house w.c. The first reception room has east and north windows and a wood burner as well as a painted wooden floor. A studio/study on the same side of the main living room has south and east facing windows and is connected to the previous reception by the utility area. These would have been the doctors reception and consultation rooms and could potentially make a fine ground floor bedroom suite.

The main living room occupies the rest of the ground floor with double doors to the covered balcony, a large fireplace with efficient log burner and a kitchen area with its own door to the orchard area of the garden.

The balcony is protected from the worst of the weather by the roof overhang and is a great place to enjoy meals and drinks throughout the year. Steps lead down from here to the garden and garage/workshop.

The first floor has three bedrooms. There is a north facing guest's suite with balcony and shower room, an office area, bedroom 2 and the master bedroom which is actually used as an artists studio currently. The master bedroom has a lovely balcony overlooking the garden and views and well protected from all weather. A house bathroom completes the 1st floor.

The roof was replaced some 15 years ago and is in very good order.The basement garage/workshop offers 63m2 of useable space with doors west and south.The garden is wooded with a south sloping pasture and fruit trees. A parcel of land to the east, included in the 9800m2 could be built on according the the town hall with relevant planning permission.

About Midi-Pyrenees

The Midi-Pyrenees was amalgamated with Languedoc-Roussillon in 2016 to form the enlarged region known as Occitanie. We are sticking with the old region name at the moment as it is still the one most people recognise for this delightful region. Even as Midi-Pyrenees it was one of the largest regions in France, nearly the size of Austria, and as such we cover only two departments in depth being Tarn et Garonne and Haute Garonne. Our partner offices do have some properties for sale in Gers, Haute Pyrenees, Aceyron, Ariege, Tarn and Lot but their main selections are in the above named departments. This puts our houses in Midi-Pyrenees closer to Toulouse, with its easy access from the UK, than to the sea. We believe we offer our French property selection in the part of Midi-Pyrenees that most U.K. buyers are looking for.

Our Tarn et Garonne properties are located in the triangle between Cahors, Montauban and Agen. All are delightful towns to be close to and all of them sit amongst the unspoilt countryside of hills, orchards, meadows and gorges that makes this department so beautiful. When I think of Tarn et Garonne I think of wide open spaces, pretty villages, the forest of Agre (1474 hectare of forest land near Montauban), the River Garonne and long, warm sunny days to enjoy the numerous markets and lovely cafes. Buying a property in Tarn et Garonne would be unlikely to disappoint.

The department of Haute-Garonne adjoins the southernmost boundary of Tarn et Garonne where it enjoys the same soft, undulating landscape that Tarn et Garonne offers but as you head further south the landscape becomes more rugged until you reach the foothills of the Pyrenees. This diverse landscape is more forested and less agricultural than the north of the department and again enjoys the river Garonne flowing through. It also offers access
