Midi-Pyrenees, Gers, Fleurance, France

Hidden in the countryside but only 5 mins by car from the centre of Fleurance.

This old farmhouse with its magnificent outbuildings and 43 acres of land offers peace and quiet, while being close to all amenities.

The house itself is habitable in it's current state but work is needed to modernise it. All the main work has been done in the last 15 years - the roof, the electrics, the heating and double glazing. As you enter the house you see the old wooden staircase which is lovely and leads to two big and bright bedrooms with lovely wooden floors. There is a landing in between which could possibly house a WC and shower.

To the right on the ground floor, you have a living room of 27m² currently used as a bureau. To the left, there is a large dining room with a huge fireplace housing an insert fire - very pretty and very efficient. A small kitchen which needs updating comes off this room.

From a long corridor you have a large salon with windows and a door to the front garden. There is a modern bathroom with shower and a separate WC. There is also the possibility here to have a third bedroom. This extension was added to the house in 1981 and makes a real difference to the habitable space.

The barn you see as you enter the property is immense - 400m² and easily two levels, if desired. It is used for storage and has eight horse boxes. This an amazing and rare building and could be renovated into habitable space.

There is also an old tobacco shed which is used as a workshop and garage. A newer extension to this building houses the hay.

This would be a perfect property for someone with a project. The current owners have horses and crops on the land but the barn could be used as a home, or a workplace, or apartments - or equally for the horses, hay and farming equipment, as it is now.
