A delightful townhouse with a walled garden just steps away from the bustling high street, yet preserving a quiet elegance and gentle tranquility with a beautiful private garden This property has been completely renovated; the roof, electricity, plumbing, heating system, bathrooms and kitchens have all been entirely replaced during the renovations. The property is ready to move into immediately and is designed tastefully in neutral tones. The property is light and elegant with a pleasant mix of contemporary and period features. This property has the added advantage of having an additional studio with kitchen, shower room and reception area. This studio appartment can be linked to the main house or used as a separate dwelling for guests and has its own separate entrance in the street behind the house. The Garden The enclosed garden provides the perfect amount of outdoor space whilst being the perfect size for easy maintenance. There are a number of mature trees, including palm trees there are both sunny and shaded spots for those hot summer months A stone path leads from the garden up a couple of steps to a spacious wooden terrace and to the door to the main house. We enter the main house from the garden, the walk through the small and newt garden heightening our sense of “leaving the world behind” and yet being just a stone’s throw away from the bakery, local cafés and restaurants. The Ground Floor This spacious reception room comprises a living-area and large open plan kitchen. The large windows overlooking the garden flood the room with sunlight. There is a wood-burning stove for cozy winter nights in-front of a movie. It should be noted that as an extension to the ground floor of the main house we can also access (via a connecting door) the ground floor of the separate studio apartment, thus entering a second reception area with a kitchen. The studio has undergone the same tasteful renovations as the main house. Back to the Main house & The First Floor The staircase is a remarkable feature in itself as it is flooded with daylight from the huge skylight in the high ceiling above; a real bonus on a rainy day and a juxtaposition of light and shadow on a sunny day depending on the hour. This part of the property adds a delightful contemporary note to the home and ensures a sensory light-filled experience every time you ascend to the first floor. From the landing, we can see that the first floor has been expertly divided into two large and luxurious suites. On our right is the first suite; a sunny, spacious bedroom with three gorgeous windows and wooden floors, a large walk-in closet, separate WC and a beautiful shower room. On the other side of the landing is the second suite, almost as spacious in size. This comprises a large shower room, WC, a double bedroom with two windows, ornamental fireplace, and an alcove/dressing area which is equipped with a water connection should this be required in the future Second Floor There are two good-sized rooms on the second floor, and although this section of the property is under the eaves, there is more than enough space for a bedroom and a large study. The vast skylight on the landing, as well as the smaller ones on both sides, are all original features and were newly fitted when the roof was replaced. The Cave Not all town houses in the Gascony have basements, but this one is an exception. It is accessed by a small door below the living room, and provides enough space to store wood and other items, and to keep the hot water heater in a safe and dry place. It is an ideal spot for a secret store of wine. The Garage This is a real plus for a town house, and although only spacious enough to park a small car, it is the perfect space to keep your bicycles and gardening equipment. It has been well renovated, in keeping with the entire property, and has a separate workshop area. A door leads to the first-floor studio with balcony. Our thoughts at Bliss Here at this property, you would be forgiven for feeling you are in a rural secluded cottage but with one immense advantage – the garden doors open onto a vibrant town from which you can visit its eclectic shops and excellent restaurants, as well as benefiting from all the amenities a town offers, such as doctors, a cinema (with original version screenings), theatre, concerts, and more.

Romanticists, aspiring Gothic heroes & heroines apply within…. Overview If your heart is stirred by visions of a Chateau with ochre-coloured walls in the setting sun; of high ceilings, and period charm without the need for perfection; or if you are someone for whom beauty outweighs all sense of the practical… then “read” on Macduff: this paragraph could be the first stepping-stone on the road to a great adventure. This is a property for those who are grand of heart, for souls imbued with a touch of gentle folly and for whom the reward is something quite beautiful: A cinematic backdrop, a theatrical pastiche of every castle-based movie you have ever viewed; a home of character with all the grandeur of the Italian Renaissance. The entrance & gardens The arrival to any Chateau must by necessity be somewhat majestic and here the avenue does not disappoint, being suitably mysterious with vegetation high on each side. The long stone driveway opens out onto a forecourt with a circular driveway which circles around a central island of Cyprus trees. The chateau rises before us, amber and gold in the sunlight, its flaking façade perfect in its imperfection. Its windows are guarded by tall French Grey shutters, its central doorway is grand and majestic in its welcome. The property rises high above a stone terrace and decorative fishpond. The façade to the North reveals a series of stone arcades, open to the elements. To each side of the Chateau there are woods and gardens, with hundred-year-old trees, all of which lend a sense of mystery to the lieu. To the front of the property there is a stone fishpond beyond which is a flight of stone steps up to the terrace and the grand front door. The stone barn to the right of the Château is the perfect backdrop to the grand hydrangea bushes which have grown tall in its shade. The barn to the rear is partially inaccessible and now more or less in a ruined state. Once a stable block, this building might yet be salvaged. A second outbuilding to the front of the driveway is in a similar condition. Sitting to the right of the main terrace, in a recess beyond, is a stone building or orangery, with a sink and an array of pots, to harbour the lemon and orange trees over winter. The Entrance The grand front door opens onto a majestic hallway, from which a turning wooden staircase rises to the first floor, with a sweep of wrought iron balcony, and walls which look as if one has fallen headfirst into the pages of an Italian Gothic novel. The walls are remarkable, in the pastiche of a pastiche setting sun, their gentle ochre and yellow tones catching the sunlight from the west in a theatrical manner. The kitchen & Pantry area To the right of the entrance hall door, there is a large double kitchen, with a fireplace and windows over the front forecourt and to the gardens at the side of the property. The ceilings are high, and the room spacious enough to incorporate a large dining room table, and a rear section with a sink, for food preparation. Beyond the kitchen is a small vestibule, which serves as a pantry, and an inner corridor with a large cupboard, which houses the washing machine and dryer, and overlooking the gardens to the rear, a room currently used as a study, and a downstairs 1930’s style bathroom. The Drawing Room From the main entrance hall, it is pleasing to access the grand drawing room via the original eighteenth century doors. The drawing room offers a view onto the rear garden via a set of characterful French windows that open onto the rear terrace. The room has a central fireplace which is not currently in use and as in many of the rooms here at the Chateau, we invite guests to look upwards at the ornate ceilings. The drawing room opens internally onto two other rooms, one on each side. Firstly, a grand dining room, conveniently placed between the drawing room, and (via the internal hallway) back to the rear pantry and kitchen. The second room is smaller in size and used as a snug, or living room, where the family gather to watch television or play games. From the door of the snug, we return to the main hallway, passing a doorway with steps leading down to the cellar below. Central Turning Staircase The staircase in the central hallway is a delight, and climbing to the first floor, we experience its generous proportions, and the majestic tall ceilings which lead the eye upwards to the first-floor landing. The first floor The first floor has all the elegance one would expect, with tall windows to the front forecourt of the property. A half landing, with a secret door leads up a tiny internal staircase to one of the ante chambers above, serving no logical purpose other than to evacuate servants (or lovers?) from the bedroom in haste. A delight for amateurs of Hide and Seek, whatever one’s age. The bedrooms On the first floor via a second internal hallway, there are four double bedrooms and at each end of the property a vestibule or oval room and a family bathroom at each end of the property (or a total of two bathroom on the first floor and one on the ground floor). The second-floor vestibules, which are oval, might well be used as antechambers, dressing rooms, or children’s bedroom. Each of the rooms is similar in style and period feature: tall ceilings, lovely wooden floors, fireplaces and views over the parkland. A doorway opens onto a second stairway, in brut form and far less grandiose than the first, leading to the impressive attic space above. This huge space has at one end the tremendous open archways. At the opposite end these have been bricked in but beg to be opened. The Attic The space sets the imagination on fire. Whatever architectural plans are born here, they must of course be validated by the local planning authorities that be, but this is a space which in sheer volume at least (with the romantic idea of an arched view over the gardens at one end, if not two ends of the property) offers endless possibilities.

This is not a modest property by any stretch of the imagination. It has a grandeur which requires a generous budget and a grain of delightful folly. Beyond the purchase price, unless one is content to live here throughout the warmer months of the year, there will be by necessity the need to be some thought and finances given to insulating the property to minimize running costs. The top floor, whether it obtains planning permissions in the future or not, whatever the project might be, is currently open to the elements at one end (via a series of Romanic “in the summer” archways) and not currently insulated either on the floor or the ceiling. The property was decorated some years ago by an interior designer and the walls are in their own delightful way a work of Art, which add much charm to the building. If the style and colours please, then there is nothing that needs doing other than choosing furniture for each room. The windows however require some attention. The lovely old window frames are single glazed, and the choice here will be one of heart or head. But if the current window frames are to be kept some repair work will be necessary. The bathrooms have a period charm but are completely unmodernized (one of these has a quaint 1930 air to it), and the decision to change these or not will be one of aesthetics. All this said, the property will appeal to anyone who loves the architecture of an old French Chateau. This is the perfect home for a large family or a business project. This is a house to fill with family, friends and furniture. The elegant rooms beg to be decorated and the tall ceilings offer a fantastic opportunity to hang great chandeliers, or pieces of Art on the walls. The home of a Collector, an Artist, a Designer? A small bijou hotel… the possibilities are endless. This will be a property which will tug on the heart strings of many, for it is so easy to imagine the Chateau illuminated in the evening, the backdrop to any number of wonderful soirées. A property which requires full evening dress, full glasses, a full imagination, and a not immodest purse. But oh! ……Quelle Joie!!! A Little Bit of Fun Recommended Books to take on the trip: Enchanted April - Elizabeth Von Arnim (try the 1993 movie if not the book) Recommended movies : Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) or A Good Year ( 2006) Recommended drinks: The very best pink champagne to reflect the golden pink and amber tones of these lovely old walls.

Situated just 10 minutes from Condom, this sublime stone manoir is accessed by a private road and sits in a perfect setting in the Gascon countryside. There are no nearby neighbours, and the property is in the middle of 3 hectares of tranquil and very private parkland, with extraordinary views over the surrounding valleys and the Pyrenees mountain range. A lovely 16 x 6 m swimming pool will keep you cool in summer, and you can enjoy drinks or a meal with friends and family in or outside the open-plan summer kitchen with its large stone archway access to the pool. On one side of the courtyard, shaded by beautiful mulberry and plane trees, you can welcome visitors in the guest house with 2 en-suite bedrooms, sitting room and kitchen, a separate bedroom with bathroom, and a caretaker's flat with living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. In addition, the 2 symmetrical dovecotes on the lower terrace have been converted identically into bedrooms with fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, bathrooms and matching terraces. On the other side of the courtyard, sits the imposing 365 m² manor house, where a magnificent stone-floored entrance hall with a large fireplace welcomes you and leads you to the principal 55 m² salon. Elegantly proportioned, it features old oak-planked flooring, a west facing, opening archway, beautiful fireplace and large double doors, one of which leads to the elegant family kitchen – with dining table – where you can prepare your favourite grilled dishes in the barbecue. It opens onto a shaded part of the upper terracing, and the small winter dining room, also with its original terracotta floor tiles. The cosy sitting room is centred around the fireplace, which is lit throughout the winter, and also opens onto the south terrace. A beautiful third reception room with open fireplace, currently used as a sitting / music room and library is reached from the grand salon in the other direction. The ground floor also has a large utility room / laundry with its own garden shower. There is ample stockage and coat hanging space in this part of the house. A guest cloakroom opens off the hallway. The first floor has 2 large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and 3rd bedroom or study. The property is magnificently decorated to a very high standard and it has preserved many of its original features – such as wood panelling, mouldings, old wooden flooring, fireplaces, natural stone, and terracotta floor tiles. The high-quality renovation has preserved and enhanced these original features and created no less than 6 portes-fenêtres opening out to the upper south and west terraces. The grounds feature a number of lovely terraces and gardens, while the beautiful, high-walled courtyard and the garden in front of the property is shaded in summer. A more Provençal one by the swimming pool is reached from the main house and the guest house. Beyond is an orchard, meadows and woodland. The property also has a large garage and cellars, an old unrenovated farmhouse hidden by vegetation, 2 wells and water reservoir as well as central heating. It is a real beauty of the kind one rarely sees for sale. History lovers will adore it. Built on a Gallo-Roman site, it served in medieval years as a convent before further renovation after the Revolution. Feel free to contact us for more information or for a viewing.
