Leggett Immobilier Independent Agent, says :
A cleverly converted and renovated farmhouse currently consisting of the main house with 4 high quality en suite B&B rooms, an independent living area for the owners with 2 bedrooms and an entirely separate self contained studio flat. Location for this property is key, it is within 10mins driving distance from the centre of the Pink City of Toulouse in the Haute Garonne, walking distance to the station and all local commerce.
This property has successfully created a country feel in the heart of the city. Once the gates close behind you the bustling town is forgotten and you are greeted to an enclosed established garden with plenty of green areas, a beautiful covered terrace with BBQ, a large swimming pool area and ample car parking space.
The main entrance leads in to a generous hallway where guests are greeted on arrival. Off the entrance hall is the impressive 60m2 sitting and dining room with exposed beams and tiled floor, large open fireplace and access directly on to the covered terrace. Still concentrating on the B&B part of the property upstairs are 4 very tastefully decorated and very comfortable double bedrooms all with either ensuite shower or even family bathrooms. Adjacent to the main building is an outbuilding on which the first floor has been converted to a spacious self-contained studio apartment.
Back downstairs the rest of this floor is used by the owners and consists of their own private kitchen, 2 bedrooms, office, bathroom, shower room and large laundry room. As far as outside is concerned the house sits centrally within its plot surrounded by the garden with small outbuildings perfect for storing tools and to have a workshop. The swimming pool area has been sympathetically built under an open barn area for privacy and protection from the sun.
Being so central to Toulouse this Chambres D’Hotes is very successful and has impressive turnover figures, its clients are both business people and tourists. However it quite obviously does not have to stay a B&B and would equally make a very comfortable home.
In addition to its obvious proximity to Toulouse and its airport, this property is just 2 hours from either the Mediterranean or the Atlantic coasts, 1h30mins from the Pyrenees and 2 hours from Spain.

The Haute-Garonne department stretches right down the middle of the Midi-Pyrenees and is home to both a bustling metropolis in the shape of Toulouse, and a rural landscape of undulating hills and valleys. It has the fastest growing population in the region thanks to its universities and aerospace industries.
The department accounts for around half the population of the entire region, the majority of whom reside in the capital, Toulouse. The north is comprised of an undulating landscape with small hills and valleys, while the south rises up towards the Pyrenees.
Toulouse is the capital of both the department and the region. Toulouse was once part of the Languedoc, but following a restructuring of boundaries in the 1960S it fell into the Midi Pyrenees region, leaving some inhabitants with an identity crisis!
Toulouse is a crucial centre for education in the region with more students than any other provincial city in France. Toulouse is known as 'la ville rose' or 'the pink city' due to the predominant colour of the bricks used in the architecture, and it has been something of a success story since World War II, heralding major innovations in aerospace and other advanced technologies.
St Gaudens in the Garonne valley is the traditional capital of the region. It is a cultural and historical gem thought to be one of the prettiest towns in the region. The surrounding area is abundant with a number of castles and ancient churches.
Toulouse has its own airport, which makes getting there very easy, especially when there are so many airlines arriving from various European destinations including the UK. The TGV train service also stops in Toulouse, and the A20 allows easy access to the North to Paris.
The region has seen a substantial increase in property prices over the last few years. Toulouse is naturally the most expensive city in which to have a property, but most foreign buyers have chosen to buy french property in the more relaxed suburbs where their money stretches further.
