HouseVic-Fezensac (32)

This 15th century castle is of unparalleled beauty. It has traversed the years, conserving a little of the history of each generation, undergoing vast restorations in the last thirty years, including the facade, the entrance-door, the mullioned windows with their beautiful lead glass panes, along with the restoration of the original beamed French ceiling by a master craftsman, and the installation of a Hungarian parquet from the same period and the rehabilitation of the 16th century wall of defense with existing stones.
This property is divided into two distinct segments with the ancient watchtower on one side with its medieval foundations and walls and the 17th/18th century house on the other.
The main house comprises a beautiful entrance with original floor-tiles, a living room of about 24 m² with its original flooring, and a large fireplace. On the first floor there is a bedroom with a shower room with a staircase leading up to a second bedroom on the mezzanine.
On the other side of the entrance hall there is the original kitchen with its old floor tiles, its fireplace and bread oven.
A second, more recent kitchen of 26 m² has been developed at the far end of the hallway with access to the garage.
On the second floor there is a nice bedroom of about 24 m², a small vestibule and a bathroom.
The ambience in the watch tower is completely different, and here one can easily imagine having stepped back in time.
The rooms are large and spacious, and distributed on four levels.
On the first floor, there are two rooms with new ceilings and an earth floor.
On the second floor there are two rooms each with stained glass windows, and in one of these the original latrine.
The second and third floors comprise one room on each level with period flooring.
The Tower offers its future owners incredible potential for development and with the necessary renovations would give a new lease of life and modern purpose to this brave old building which has survived the centuries as a testament to the builders of the time, having entirely preserved its authenticity.

House with pool Auch (32)

Sitting in six hectares of parkland, in a non-isolated location, this beautiful old property is located close to Auch, capital of the Gers, and benefits from splendid views over the valley. Its fine old stones have born witness to centuries of history and remain in excellent condition to tell its tales of time today. Located on the top of a hillside, the view is remarkable over the valleys of Gascony, reaching as far as the Pyrénées. The swimming pool is located in an ideal position from which to enjoy these views, sitting in an elevated position. The vast expanse of land lies to the front of the property with one nearby property to the rear (thus preserving the uninterrupted views to the south) The current owner has carried out a vast programme of restoration over the years, carefully preserving the original walls and the authenticity of the property’s medieval architecture, as well as preserving many original features internally. Today, though the property bears witness to major works carried out in recent years, it offers also an exciting opportunity to the next generation to lift the works to the next level in order to render it comfortable for modern living being somewhat sparse on the inside for the moment. One is easily forgiven for imagining this to be the 16th century and not the 21st internally - but this is in many aspects a blank canvas on which to design a remarkable home with spacious rooms and high ceilings Throughout the property the inside walls are exposed stone, the ground-floor tiled in more recent years. Fine examples of medieval history are preserved throughout : fireplaces, original vaulted walls and a wine cellar. With successive renovations, the owner lifted the veils of time and reveal the property’s hidden secrets, such as a magnificent Renaissance door. Who knows if further treasures await to be discovered ….

House with pool Lectoure (32)

The approach to the property The property is hidden behind pretty stone walls, attractive wrought iron gates, and a canopy of mature trees, including some lovely mature Cyprus trees. The garden is full of roses and peonies and on the day of our visit is bursting with blossom. Beyond the pool and gardens, landscaped on two levels, our eyes are drawn across miles of countryside to the south. The vista from the property is lovely, from both the pretty gardens around the house and the valley beyond. The house : the ground floor The old wooden door, with its characterful “hand-shaped” door-knocker, opens onto a traditional Gascon hallway with a terracotta floor tile. The hallway runs the full length of the property. The kitchen With a door both to the main hallway and the side gardens and path to the pool, the kitchen is spacious enough to incorporate a dining-room table and chairs and also boasts a beautiful open fire-place, a characterful spot for a winter’s supper. The kitchen is divided into two area by a half wall, and has a pretty decorative chimney breast built with old terracotta tiles. The downstairs study/ bedroom/ WC A spacious area on the ground floor provides room for a downstairs study and bedroom, with a WC. The main reception room This pleasant symmetrical room has a pretty fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a lovely classical plasterwork surround. There are two spacious cupboards with shelves to each side of the fireplace. The floor is lain with terracotta tiles. The Dining-Room The dining room is of a similar size to the main reception room and also boasts a fireplace. In addition room houses a contemporary staircase to the first floor. The First Floor The first floor of the property provides a surprising amount of space. The first floor reception-room The stairway leads to an open plan area which is currently dressed with sofas and chairs and used as a games’ and reading room. This area has exposed oak beams running across the ceiling and has the “feel” of a cosy “den” or central communal space shared by the occupants of the other bedrooms. The first floor “cinema room” A doorway opens from the central reception area to a surprising space. There is evidence from the newly fitted (but not yet painted) plasterboard ceiling that there were plans to concert this room into a large master bedroom with a dressing-room at one end. (NB: “a change of usage” permit may be required to convert this area above the barn into extra bedrooms). Currently this room is used as a “home-cinema” room. The bedrooms Dotted around the central reception area of the first floor, there are three good-sized bedrooms. As this property was originally built in the style of a Chartreuse, the rooms have been added and built around exposed oak beams with low windows on ground floor level. The ambience in all three of these spacious rooms is one of cosy rusticity. The bathroom The upstairs bedrooms all share a family bathroom (with a bath-tub) and separate WC.
