Beautifully Presented Manor House, Lectoure, Gers

Property Description

The renovation work at this beautiful manor house is really remarkable. The property is immaculately presented, the craftsmanship of the artisans ever evident and the design has created particularly light, spacious living areas.  The pool area is particularly beautiful, set against the backdrop of the Italian-style gardens.  There is certainly much to see here….





As you might expect with a maison de maitre style property, the rooms are all beautifully proportioned and with windows and doors on all sides, one thing that is particularly noticeable at this property is just how light the living spaces are.  





This house has been renovated by someone with a great appreciation of a good bath!  There are 4 bedrooms in the main house and, depending on which outlook you might prefer, a choice of fabulous baths to choose from!  The independent guest accommodation has a further bedroom which opens onto the pool terrace.  There is also a Pigeionnier that houses a shower room and office/study area.  There is a total 350m2 habitable space.  Here’s the layout:

The property has some very useful outbuildings including a large garage with automatic doors, a beautiful old barn and a large gym area.





Location:





Despite the size of the property and the plot, the house is not isolated.  It’s just 3km - so an easy bike ride, or gentle stroll to the nearest shops.  Lectoure and Condom are both within easy reach and offer a good range of independent shops, restaurants and cafés.





Officially designated a ‘town of art and history’ by the French minister for culture, Lectoure is a frequent venue for exhibitions and cultural events.  As with the construction of this property, the town features many of the original Gascon architecture, built in the distinctive pale stone of the region.  A lively, warm atmosphere pervades the town centre and there is a good selection of shops, cafes and restaurants.  In 2003, a thermal spa was opened in the town - a great way to relax after a mornings’ shopping.  If you feel you need to work up a bit of a sweat before earning a trip to the Spa, there is also a range of outdoor activities in the area - golf, horse-riding, walking, mountain biking and wild swimming.  





Condom is build on the banks of the river Baïse and there is a wide range of shops and amenities available and, of course, a very popular weekly fresh produce market.  





The TGV station at Agen is about 45 minutes away and the airport at Toulouse is 90mins away.
