Castelsagrat, Tarn-et-Garonne, Midi-Pyrénées, France

House, garden, garage.

Substantial, period village property, situated in the heart of the historic village of Castelsagrat, in a quiet no-through road, within walking distance of the excellent bakery, restaurant and shops.

Dating from the 13th century, this extraordinary stone house has been renovated from top to bottom by its fastidious owners, with stylish contemporary interiors, whilst respecting the historic features, resulting in the most immaculately conceived property. Having been the home of a distinguished French general and a sisterhood of nuns in its time, it offers the ever so rare turn-key home with just the unpacking to do.

Comprising of a versatile living space with numerous reception rooms, with built in Hifi music system throughout, hall way with grand entranceway, original terracotta floor tiles and the beautiful poplar staircase. Ground floor studio, sitting room with insert log burning stove, 13th century stone archway, arrow slit window and bar area with granite worktop, fridge and the coolest lighting system in town! What the nuns would say I cannot start to imagine!
Kitchen with French doors leading into the garden, travertine flooring with under floor heating, hand built oak cabinets with granite worktops, Smeg gas range cooker and exposed stonework complement the muted colours perfectly.

Main bedroom suite with magnificent parquetry flooring and French doors leading onto the garden. Stylish modern bathroom with double rain shower with individual controls and heated shower tray, built in cupboards and sound system throughout.

First floor with Juliet balcony overlooking the street, original floorboards and beamed ceilings, sadly the bear isn't staying.

Four further bedrooms with fabulous original features including original fireplaces, flooring and built in cupboards. First floor sitting room with windows on both sides creating a light filled space ideal for an artist's studio, all decorated and presented in immaculate condition, with the modern comforts of double glazing and pompe à chaleur heating.

Charming private walled gardens with paved terracing, ancient lime tree, box and beech hedging, vegetable garden with raised steel beds, olive and fruit trees, water source with pump, creating a gardeners paradise complete with log store, utility room, garden room and the essential wine cave.

Large attached garage and workshop with off road parking, separate garage block available in the village by separate negotiation with parking for two cars, storage and electric charging point.

I think it's fair to say this has to be one of the best village houses on the market in south west France at the moment, to say it's been a labour of love for its current owners, which has taken them twenty years to create, is no understatement, if you don't have a spare twenty years I'd advise you to join an orderly queue!
