Midi-Pyrénées, Haute-Garonne, France

A18035LCA31 - There are two entrances to the houses, on different little roads.

PROPERTY ONE

The main entrance is via the gardens in front of the house (one open and one enclosed). As you go through the door of the first property you are in the entrance hall with tiled floor with a door leading into a WC and another leading into an unfinished shower room – these rooms could be removed to make a larger and more usable hallway.

To the side of the hallway a door opens into the garage with a small cupboard under the staircase. The garage runs the entire length of both houses but could easily be divided into two separate garages.

Original wooden stairs with an iron banister lead up to the corridor on the first floor with the following rooms, all with original wooden floors:

• Dining room with a balcony that overlooks the little stream, a marble fireplace and a door into a cupboard
• Bedroom with a balcony and marble fireplace
• Shower room (shower and wash basin)
• Kitchen

There is a door that connects the two properties on the first floor.

The staircase then continues up to the attic floor with lots of storage and the following accommodation:

• Two bedrooms
• Large room that could be renovated

There is currently a dividing wall between the two houses which could be opened to reveal the room on the other side in the second property.

PROPERTY TWO

The front of property one leads to a terrace at the side with a door into the second house.

The main entrance to the property however is on the little lane at the rear of the building which leads into the corridor with electricity meters for both houses on the wall.

A door from the hallway leads into the garage where the water meter is located (via a trap in the floor).

On the ground floor you will find a:

• Small office
• Living room
• Kitchen with a door leading out on to the side terrace
• Shower room (shower, wash basin) and a separate WC.

A staircase leads up to the first-floor accommodation as follows:

• Large bedroom
• Second bedroom (currently a kitchen as this floor was previously an apartment)
• 3rd bedroom
• 4th bedroom with a door leading out onto the large south facing balcony at the side of the house
• At the end of the balcony is a WC

Stairs lead up to the attic with the dividing wall which could be opened to allow access into the first property.

The electricity and water are available but currently not connected to either property.
