Description
Set behind wrought-iron gates, the property enjoys private gardens to both the front and rear, creating a peaceful and largely secluded setting. The outdoor space is perfectly sized to enjoy long sunny days by the private swimming pool, while remaining easy to maintain whether used as a permanent residence or a holiday home.
Inside, the house combines original period features with generous living spaces, offering flexibility for modern living. With multiple reception areas and six bedrooms, it could equally serve as a large family home, a welcoming holiday retreat, or a B&B or chambres d’hôtes project in one of the most attractive areas of southwest France.
Despite its tranquil location, the property is only a short drive from Salies-du-Salat and enjoys easy access to Saint-Girons, Saint-Lizier, Toulouse and the Pyrenees mountains. It offers the relaxed rural lifestyle many buyers dream of while remaining conveniently connected.
Ground Floor – A Warm Welcome and Flexible Living Space
Accessed through large wrought-iron gates, a gravel driveway leads to the integral garage and the main entrance of the house.
Stepping through the original front door, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall with marble flooring, radiators and an immediate sense of character.
To the right of the hallway you will find:
• A fully equipped kitchen with charming original mosaic floor tiles, two windows and spot lighting.
• A shower room and separate WC, both finished with marble flooring and tiled walls.
• A bright office or study, featuring a striking black-and-white tiled floor, exposed beams and built-in storage – ideal for working from home or creating a cosy snug.
• Practical under-stair wine storage.
To the left, the hallway opens into a spacious living room with marble flooring and underfloor heating. This welcoming room features:
• A working open fireplace
• A charming traditional bread oven
• Original windows overlooking the garden
• A beautiful beamed ceiling
The dining area flows naturally into a stunning converted barn, carried out between 1984 and 1990. With sliding doors and underfloor heating, this impressive space is filled with natural light and offers wonderful potential.
It could easily become a spectacular open-plan kitchen and dining area, a second lounge, or a flexible entertaining space depending on your needs.
Large patio doors open directly onto the covered terrace, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living – perfect for summer dining, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing in the sunshine.
First Floor – Light, Space and Countryside Views
A wide staircase from the converted barn leads to a generous landing and seating area with tiled floor and a large picture window framing views across the countryside to the distant Pyrenees mountains.
This level offers six bedrooms, two bathrooms and excellent flexibility, making it possible to create separate guest accommodation if desired.
Bedroom 1
A spacious and comfortable room with tiled floor, underfloor heating and two sets of patio doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the garden and pool.
Bedrooms 2 and 3
Both bright and welcoming rooms that also open onto the balcony and benefit from underfloor heating.

Continuing into the original part of the house with beautiful wooden floors:
• Landing area currently used as a library space
• A practical dressing room
• A second bathroom with vintage charm, original tiles, bath, double sinks, cupboards and bidet
• Separate WC
A wide hallway leads to a small balcony overlooking the garden and provides access to three further bedrooms:

Full of character with an original marble fireplace, exposed beams and garden-facing window.

• A conservatory with mountain views
• Vegetable garden area
• Decked terrace covering the modern septic system installed in 2017
• An outhouse with wood store, garden storage and outdoor shower room
• Garage with lighting, power sockets, windows and access to the oil tank and boiler room
The outdoor spaces are perfect for enjoying the southwest French lifestyle – whether relaxing by the pool, entertaining friends, or growing your own produce.
Lifestyle and Possibilities
This versatile property could suit many different projects, including:
• A full-time family residence close to schools, shops and services
• A bed and breakfast or chambres d’hôtes business (subject to registration)
• A holiday home for extended family or friends to share
The house already offers generous space and charm, while still allowing new owners to add their own style and personal touches.
