Midi-Pyrénées, Gers, Vic-Fezensac, France

This Old Convent school house, requiring modernisation, is ideally situated in a lovely rural location with no close neighbours. The property benefits from open views of the surrounding rolling countryside and is situated on its own land of 16 acres (6.64 hectares). The land consists of garden, pasture and woodland with a small part that is farmed.

It is very suitable for horses or other animals with readily accessible and peaceful hacking (walking or cycling). The house itself was formerly a convent school which has been partially converted into a substantial country home. There is considerable room for further development, including the conversion of the impressive school hall. Given its location, size and style the property would lend itself very well to the creation of a business activity .

There is a large 15 x 5 swimming pool, which requires updating.

Situated only 10 minutes from the market town of Vic-Fezensac which benefits from full amenities, schools and a college. The Friday market is always enjoyable and the fetes and festivals numerous.

The dwelling, of a habitable surface area of approx. 410 m, comprises 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, study, living room and kitchen. Spread over three floors, the rooms are very generously proportioned with excellent ceiling height. Traditional features such as beautiful exposed stone, stone fireplace and sink, and 'tommette' tiles. Central heating (De Dietrich boiler). The house is habitable and is currently lived in as a main residence, although there is work to undertake to bring it up to the grand property that it once was and restore its former splendour. There is ample scope for further development without the need to undo what has already been done.

Adjoining the house is the impressive school hall of 100 m on the ground. The potential uses for the space are numerous: it would make a fabulous games or music room but could also be developed for use in an income-generating context for weddings or similar. Also adjoining the house is a barn of 58 m that currently houses the boiler and is used for storage.
