House with terraceLectoure (32)

Overview A light and bright three-bedroom mid-terraced town house in the centre of the stylish town of Lectoure, newly renovated and offering spacious living over three floors. Nestled a stone’s throw from the Rue National, the principal street famous for antique shops, galleries and chic concept stores and boutiques, the property is ideally situated on a quiet side street. This solid, traditional 18th century house includes a small courtyard garden at the rear large enough for alfresco living. Those buyers looking for a private low maintenance house at the heart of a vibrant town will find this property simply ideal. As an added bonus, all the bedrooms have modern ensuite shower rooms. A closer look at the house Enter from a typical Lectoure street with its mix of pretty and elegant stone houses. Step directly into a small hallway then into a spacious sitting room painted white; here, recessed ceiling lights and a wooden floor give a contemporary feel. A fireplace has shelving either side which offers practical storage. Walk a little further, passing a solid, beautifully restored wooden staircase and a WC with wooden panelling and a laminate floor. Next you will find the kitchen which is a good size, large enough for a table and chairs and with base and wall units in a modern style. There is a fitted cooker and induction hob and a small dishwasher plus freestanding fridge. Alongside is a separate utility room for the washing machine and storing other practical items including the boiler. Leading from the kitchen via a single glazed door is a charming, decked area for outdoor dining and relaxation and, if you wish, a chance to engage with your neighbours. It’s cosy and there is ample space for a table and chairs. The first floor Climb the stairs from the hallway to the first-floor landing and you will find two large bedrooms, each with a smart, modern ensuite shower room. A shared WC also leads from the landing. Both bedrooms have high ceilings and newly stripped renovated original wooden floors, and each feels spacious and light. The master bedroom facing onto the main street has two large floor-to-ceiling windows with elegant iron balustrades that throw dappled light patterns across the floor. The original fireplace serves more as a decorative feature and a nod to the house’s past as it is no longer working. Facing it is a hand-built headboard with side lights and practical sockets ready to welcome the new owner’s double bed. The second bedroom overlooks the rear terrace and has one large window plus a modern shower room with separate shower cubicle and sink unit. A charming feature on this floor are two oval cut outs above each door into the bedrooms. This design element is mirrored upstairs on the top floor with small oval windows facing out onto the street. The second floor Ascend solid original stairs up onto the top and second floor and in the eaves of the roof with the original beams exposed, are two large rooms one of which serves as a third bedroom as there is an ensuite shower room with separate shower cubicle, a large vanity unit with sink and practical shelves. Across the open landing is another space currently used as an artist studio by the current owner. What we love here at Bliss A new renovation with fresh white paint and where all practical aspects are covered means a new owner simply needs to move in and start living and loving life at the heart of the Gers’ most popular town. The current owner has achieved an artistic vibe that mixes typical 18th century town house with arty Parisian cool. High ceilings, solid wooden floors and stairs and rooms flooded with natural light add to the appeal. It is also situated on a very pretty street! Who will this property suit? Someone who doesn’t want to take on a project as all the hard work is done. It could be a permanent home for a single person or a couple, with plenty of space for overnight guests, or would be the perfect pied-à-terre for those looking for a second home in the area. Artists will appreciate the light and the large space on the second floor for creative pursuits away from the main living areas.
