Midi-Pyrénées, Gers, Montesquiou, France

Currently used as a 5-bedroom property with one downstairs WC and bathroom, an upstairs bathroom could easily be installed. There is also ample space to enhance one of the bedrooms to include an ensuite bathroom/shower room and dressing room. Furthermore, the large garage has a second floor which could be converted into a myriad of possibilities.

Situated in a very quiet bastide village, steeped in history, this house enjoys proximity to services such as Post Office, village shop/boulangerie, pharmacy, bank, library, hair salon, tourism office and lovely picnic area.

The property retains a lot of its original features and charm - beautiful tiling in the lounge/dining area, exposed original ceiling beams in some rooms, original windows with ornate hardware and wooden flooring throughout the top floor.

The rooms enjoy generous proportions, with bedrooms to the front benefitting from beautiful views.

The garden space is exceptional for a village location; an oasis planted with shrubs and fruit trees. It is enhanced by the large, covered terrace area at the back of the property. It truly is a special all-season relaxation and entertainment space.

As well as a large garage attached to the property, there are parking spaces available to both the front and rear.

Outbuildings comprise a wood store adjacent to the house and an original stone storage shed at the rear of the garden.

To summarise, this property presents an ideal opportunity to create fantastic family/holiday home, a rental investment or an opportunity to provide accommodation for weary Camino pilgrims. Its potential could easily be realised with some attention to the kitchen area and, possibility, the addition of an upstairs bathroom.

The main source of heat is the large wood burning stove in the living area and this is supplemented by electric heaters in some of the rooms.

The property is connected to the mains drainage system which has recently been upgraded.

Although not utilised by the current owners, fibre optic cabling has been completed in the village.
