The pool safety is provided by an automatic cover and the water is heated by heat pump, and it includes a counter-current system for swimming exercise. There is also a barn in the garden which has been partly converted into a garage for two to three cars. It has the potential for conversion to a separate dwelling, subject to Planning consent.




The house is close to Toulouse, one of France's most vibrant cities. It is often referred to as 'La Ville Rose' (the pink city), due to the rose-coloured buildings which give the city its famous warm glow. The city centre is a compact warren of winding cobbled streets and is a joy to explore on foot, especially since few cars brave the narrow streets. The Place du Capitole is the heart of the city and there can be few better places to watch the world go by. 




Toulouse is known for its gastronomy and there are no less than 5 Michelin starred restaurants in the city, as well as countless less formal eateries of course. The Victor Hugo covered market is recognized as one of the best produce markets in the whole of France. The city is home to more than 50 art galleries and a dozen major museums, ranging from the cutting-edge to the traditional. The lively music scene ensures that every genre is catered for and there are many live events throughout the year. 




The Canal du Midi runs through the city and this famous waterway adds a tranquility to the city. A gentle journey (by bike, foot or boat) along the tree-lined banks and a picnic provide the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle. 




One of the most attractive aspects of Toulouse is its position. Both Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts are accessible, as are the Pyrenees. Spain and the Basque Country. Toulouse International Airport is 7km from the city centre and Paris is only 4hrs away by TGV.
