Réf. 4465: Charming 16th century manor house for sale near Agen. The Lot-et-Garonne is criss-crossed by the Canal de Garonne, perfect for cycling or barge trips. The region is renowned for its medieval bastide towns, lively markets and friendly cuisine featuring local produce. Close to major routes, Agen is ideally located for exploring the south of France, while offering the serenity of a rural environment. Agen, in the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne region, is a charming town in south-west France, known for its peaceful surroundings and rich heritage. Nestling between Toulouse and Bordeaux, it offers an exceptional quality of life, combining history, gastronomy and nature. Agen is famous for its delicious prunes, but also for its historic centre, picturesque narrow streets and half-timbered houses. The region's varied landscapes, from rolling green hills to agricultural plains, are ideal for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. A first building constructed in the 16th century comprised only the western part of the building. This three-storey building had a large room serving as a kitchen and a living room on the ground floor, a lounge with a fireplace and a bedroom on the first floor and 6 ‘maid's’ bedrooms on the second floor. The property also included a number of farm buildings and a dovecote, which is still standing today. All these buildings were connected to the main road to the north. This road was abandoned when the Canal Latéral à la Garonne was built in 1840. This access road can be seen on the Napoleonic land register. In the 17th century, the eastern part of the manor house was extended to create a large kitchen with a fireplace, two utility rooms and 4 bedrooms upstairs. In the 19th century, the property belonged to Mr Henri de Blaviel (1846-1918), who commissioned Mr Duby, an architect, to convert the 17th-century part. A three-storey tower and a two-storey adjoining building plus terrace were added to the northern part of the building. The next owner, Louis Georges Pierre de Gaulejac (1915-2003), inherited the estate from his mother and ran a large fruit farm that required the construction of industrial buildings. After his death, the estate was split into two parts, the eastern part comprising the barn and industrial buildings, and the other part, which is the subject of this article, comprising the dwelling and its outbuildings, together with a park covering just over 3.95 acres. Since its acquisition by the current owners in 2005, the property has undergone extensive renovation and conversion work. In a verdant setting, this manor house dating from the 16th century and extended in the 17th century spans approx. 400 sqm of living space, comprising: On the ground floor, an entrance hall leading to a living room, a dining room and access to the first floor via a beautiful abalone staircase. Comprising a kitchen/diner of more than 50 sqm, a study, a scullery, a workshop and bathroom and toilet facilities. All the rooms have a working fireplace and the kitchen has independent access. On the first floor we find respectively: A reading and relaxation room of more than 40 sqm equipped with a wood-burning stove, with direct access to the terrace. An office area at the top of the staircase. A 25 sqm master bedroom with dressing room, shower room and bathroom, as well as 4 large bedrooms with separate shower rooms and bathrooms. The six former maid's rooms on the top floor are now used as a children's play area. There remains the possibility of creating a further 90 sqm of living space in the insulated attic. Outbuildings : 1/ The dovecote: Just a stone's throw from the house is a dovecote in excellent condition, equipped with 2 fixed windows and a staircase for easy use. The layout of the premises makes it easy to accommodate passing guests while preserving the exclusive use of the house. The property is valued at €20,000 per annum, excluding school holidays. 2/ The outbuildings : The outbuildings, with a floor surface area of 155 sqm, are in very good condition and are divided into several sections comprising a workshop, a garage and a wood shed. A stairway provides access to the first floor, allowing the same surface area to be exploited through the 9 existing openings in the masonry. 3/ The well : The property has a well around 300 metres away, shared with a farmer and a market gardener. Two pipes carry the water to the house, the pond and the swimming pool. The house is also connected to the public drinking water network. The property is easily accessed from the road. The 16x8 m masonry swimming pool, with a 2.5 m plunge pool, is fed by borehole water. It has dedicated sanitary facilities. The landscaped grounds of more than 3.70 acres feature trees several hundred years old, including a holm oak dating from the 16th century. The layout of the property's three plots makes them easy to maintain. The proximity of the Canal Latéral makes it ideal for long walks along the green lane.
