Luxury real estate for sale Valence-sur-baise, France (page 7)

Perched on the edge of the lively market town of Saint Clar, in the heart of the golden triangle, this ‘maison d’architecte’ was re-built in 2003. Originally a small hamlet, this property perfectly combines the beauty of the surrounding countryside with the convenience of all amenities and village life accessible on foot, albeit up a somewhat long driveway! At least it’s downhill on the way home … As we arrive at the property, passing the orchard of fruit trees, we are immediately taken by the breathtaking views of the Gers countryside and a nearby village château. It is hard to draw our eyes away to admire the lines and angles of the architect-designed house. The first building to come into view is the stone car port which houses two vehicles and through which we access the front door of the house. Before entering the house itself, we are once again distracted by the views and also by the pool which has been built into the shelter of the house and the car port. It is a wonderful sun trap for those wishing to develop a glowing sun-kissed torso! Finally entering the house, we are immediately hit by the light which streams in from the glass roof in the centre of the house. It shines and reflects everywhere. There are remote-controlled blinds which cover the glass when it rains or when it gets too hot in the summer. To the left of the entrance is a very useful pantry, a WC with hand basin and a cloakroom cupboard for coats, shoes etc. Moving through towards the staircase, to the right, and down a few steps, we discover the open plan kitchen and living room. Again, the light hits us. There are doors and windows on every side of this fabulous space, all of which allow us to appreciate the views from a different angle. We are particularly drawn through the big French doors on to the covered terrace, this is very definitely an extension of the living room, somewhere to be enjoyed through most seasons of the year, and a place from which the owners love to watch the wildlife roaming the countryside. The kitchen is currently enclosed by glass panes overlooking the sitting room, but could be easily opened up if preferred. It is fully fitted and equipped, a very functional place to cook and prepare offerings for your guests. The weeping fig in the corner of the dining area is an unusual feature. It has survived the house being a second home for several years, very robust! Despite the luminosity of this house, it becomes very cosy when the fire is lit. The current owners love being warm and toasty in the sitting room whilst watching the magnificent electric storms

This lovely old stone property has belonged to the same family for generations. With a walled garden with a pool, and stunning views over the Gascon countryside, this spacious Gascon manor house occupies an enviable position high up on the ramparts. Its central village location ensures easy access on foots to the local shops, restaurants, and tea-rooms. With several generations of the same family owning the property, we were touched by the family history recounted by the current owner. She tells how her father used to pass by the house every day as a schoolboy, from the farm where he lived, and would always vow to himself: “one day this house’ will be mine!” Such was the power of his manifestation, that some years later, as a young man, he purchased the house for his wife and family. One can easily imagine how inspiring this house might be to a child, sitting in one of the most unusual and enviable places in the village, and so impressive in size. We hope that we can find a new owner for this property, who will be just as delighted and excited by this acquisition. Let’s look at the property in more detail: The original front door opens from the street, onto an impressive 44m2 central hallway. With a door to the rear end of the hallway, opening on the garden, the hallway gives access to each of the reception-rooms. To the left of the main door, there is a large 45m2 reception-room, filled with light from the French doors that open onto a raised terrace, and with a view over the surrounding countryside and gardens. This raised terrace area is one of the property’s most lovely features. Along the hallway, next to the main reception-room, there are two bedrooms on the ground-floor both with a fireplace. To the far right of the hallway there is a lovely room with wooden panels and decorative lead windows. This room was used as a music room, or a formal dining room, and overlooks the garden. The kitchen is positioned close to the main entrance, close to the grand staircase. It is the heart and hub of the house. The kitchen is typical of a bygone era, with space for a large dining table Infront of the fire, and despite its rather dated appearance, full of charm. There is a door from the kitchen to the street. There is also a separate cloakroom and lavatory in the main entrance. Behind the kitchen there is ample space for storage in a rear cellar, where the boiler is situated. In days gone by this section of the property was fondly nicknamed “The Shop” or “Le Magasin” by the family, because it was so spacious and with so many shelves, anything practical required here could be found in this area of the house. A graceful staircase ascends to the first floor, where we find a mirror image of the grand hallway below. This property is truly a fine family home, with five double bedrooms on the first floor, each with a bathroom. The previous owner built each of his daughters a bathroom. Three of these bedrooms have their own individual character and secret treasures, with each room opening out into a “secret” room behind. The perfect house for children to lose themselves in, with a game of Hide and Seek. On the second floor, there is a large attic. This spreads across the entire top floor, and could potentially provide additional space for conversion, relevant planning permissions permitting. Below the large garden terrace there is a garage and additional storage area.

Where are we? This well maintained property is just a stone’s throw away from the centre of a thriving village with full amenities. The property is situated in a quiet area, with easy access on foot to the baker’s, the local café, and supermarket. The village also has schools and many leisure facilities for families during the summer months. The property Access to the property is via a private lane and first glimpse of the house shows the immaculate roof, clean lines and well-kept façades. Let’s take a look inside! ….. The Entrance hall We enter the front door into a central hallway which leads to the kitchen and the living room on the left, the bedrooms and bathroom on the right. The Kitchen To the left of the main entrance, a door opens into the kitchen. The owner of the property tells us that she loves her kitchen, as it is such a practical workspace, and being so light and airy, with doors leading out to the covered terrace, and a wood burner in the corner, this is definitely a well used room. The Reception Room A doorway leads from the kitchen directly into the main sitting-room. This is another light-filled room with large French windows which allow sunlight to flood in all day long. There is an open fireplace which would make the room very cosy in the winter. The 3 bedrooms & shower-room To the right of the main entrance, along the corridor, there are three double bedrooms which share a modern shower-room. The Garage/Workshop At the far end of the corridor, the door leads into the garage part of which doubles as a utility room. Behind the garage is a very useful workshop. The Exterior The enclosed garden provides lots of interesting areas in which to enjoy the sun, to have some quiet reading time, to grow your own vegestables, and has the perfect place to dine with family and friends under a covered terrace; there are so many ways to enjoy this easily maintained garden. Our thoughts here at Bliss This is a rare gem for those looking to be in a lively village, with a good sized garden. It is perfect as a full-time residence as every room is spacious. Retirees may appreciate the one-level living accommodation, which is surprisingly hard to find with shops on foot and at such an interesting price. Home seekers in search of a low maintenance holiday home will also appreciate the many benefits of this property. What we like best … We love the light and airy feel of the property and the garden which is really a wonderful extra outdoor summer living room, with plenty of shade provided on the covered terrace. The house has been beautifully looked after by the current owners, and the contemporary feel adds to its charm and practicality.

This stunning stone residence nestles in a tranquil Gascon village, far from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Its striking facade, adorned with traditional Lectoure blue shutters, overlooks the quaint village square. Step inside through the original front door into a spacious entrance hall, where the gleaming hardwood floors bear the gentle marks of time, with hues akin to honeyed gold. Beyond the entrance, you'll find two inviting living spaces – one boasting a cosy fireplace framed by elegant woodwork and shelves filled with books, while the other offers a charming dining area adorned by an intricately detailed ceiling. The heart of the home is the kitchen, and in this home culinary delights are whipped up against a backdrop of picturesque Gascon countryside views. For outdoor enthusiasts, a rustic brick barbecue awaits in the traditional 'souillarde' – a spacious room accessible directly from the street, perfect for dropping off groceries or kicking off muddy boots after a countryside adventure. Head upstairs via the graceful wooden staircase, adorned with delicately wrought handrails, and you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom, and a cozy study, ideal for quiet moments of relaxation. The staircase continues upwards to a delightful additional guest bathroom nestled in the converted attic space, offering glimpses of blue skies on sunny days. Meanwhile, the meticulously maintained “upstairs” attic space provides ample storage, ensuring a clutter-free living space “downstairs.” To the rear of the property an enclosed village garden of modest proportions awaits, perfect for enjoying lazy summer afternoons in dappled shade. Sun-worshippers will find a secluded sunny spot on the southerly side of the garden. This timeless home exudes a blend of elegance and simplicity, with its spacious interiors, inviting hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and cozy hearths.
