Description

A35808SLI33 - This charming property is also highly functional and can be lived in all on one level. On the ground floor, the property offers several reception rooms with Gironde tiling. A living room with a large brick fireplace. A reading room. A billiard room with a view of the canal through original small-paned windows. And a summer kitchen/diner that opens onto the pool terrace through recent sliding aluminum doors. Opening onto the west facade, the kitchen with its 38m² dining area was completely renovated in 2023. A utility room and laundry room also open onto the garden.

The 48m² master suite overlooks both the reception garden and the canal. The east wing of the house, with the master suite and an additional bedroom, is ideal for a tourist project, particularly thanks to the high demand for the Canal des 2 Mers cycle path, which runs alongside the house. Another bedroom on the ground floor, with herringbone parquet flooring, offers dual exposure with views of the canal.

The upper level has a 28m² office, a 31m² bedroom, and a shower room with toilet. Wooden beams are exposed, and the ceiling height is generous. There is also access to the 87m² attic space, which could be converted, and could be connected to the east wing of the house via a possible staircase.

A tobacco drying shed now serves a dual purpose as a double garage and storage area. The 5,300m² wooded garden is flat and fenced with an electric gate for vehicles. The 5.5m x11m swimming pool, in good condition, benefits from a rigid shelter and a large south facing tiled terrace.

This property is a 10-minute bike ride from La Réole train station for the TER connection to Bordeaux and Agen. Exit 4 of the A62 motorway towards Bordeaux and Toulouse is a 9-minute drive away. The Canal des 2 Mers cycle path, linking the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, runs alongside the canal in front of the house and is attracting more and more enthusiasts. The Fontet marina with its nautical base is another tourist attraction in the immediate vicinity of the house. The shops of La Réole are a few minutes' drive away, including the large Saturday morning market renowned for its quality throughout the region.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
