Superb restored village manor house with pool, 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and lots of outbuildings. Lot et Garonne.
This is a truly stunning house with history and beautiful architecture. Really, the photos don’t do it justice! Almost 500m2 of living space and lots of land.

A restored 16th/17th century Manor House situated in a quiet hilltop village.
This property has wonderful views across the valley. There is a walled garden with pool to the side of the house and an internal garden courtyard.
The manor house has been carefully restored to safeguard its original features. There are also a number of additional buildings of which some to be further restored.
As well as oil central heating, the principle rooms have been fitted with top of the range heat exchangers that provide both heat and air conditioning.
The property is laid out as follows:
Entrance:
The entrance to the property is via the double stone stairs to a large hallway. It is classical in design, with the principal rooms opening from the beautiful entrance hall – you go from one room to the other – very typical of houses of this period. To the left are two living rooms and to the right a dining room and the games room with snooker table and a bathroom.
First Living Room:
Smaller and more intimate than the other. Beautifully presented with lovely floors and feature fireplace with plasterwork.
Main Living Room:
A larger family room with lovely floors and feature fireplace. This room is double aspect and therefore benefits from lots of light.
Kitchen:
Spacious fully fitted units and views from the window of the internal courtyard.
Ground floor:
There is one double bedroom with en-suite bathroom situated on the ground floor, Tastefully decorated with ample storage space. The en-suite bathroom is large and modern. Both the bedroom and bathroom have windows with views onto the enclosed garden.
Bedrooms upstairs:
The lovely oak staircase from the rear hallway, leads to the 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The bedrooms are all of a large size with wonderful views of the valley from each window. The bathrooms are all new with elegant tiling.
A second staircase (that used in former times by the staff) leads to the rear of the ground floor.
To the side of the house is a one bedroom apartment with living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
Outside
Pool:
The 12m x 6m pool is situated by the courtyard garden and benefits from full sun during the summer. The pool area is secured by a gate.
There are numerous buildings that enclose the courtyard. The former stables in arch-shape would make a fabulous house. There is a small building that houses a hot-tub. A barn with bread oven and prune dryer. And there are more. The entire property has new roofs.

Location in France
The Lot-et-Garonne has been called the Tuscany of France because of its yellow fields of sunflowers, vineyards, cypress trees and red roofed buildings.
In the south-west corner of France, midway between Toulouse and Bordeaux. 2 hours to the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees, 3 hours to the Mediterranean. This department of the Aquitaine is a must when searching for a house for sale in France. Excellent motorway and rail links and an airport at Bergerac with Flybe and Ryanair flying to destinations across England and Scotland.
An area full of unspoilt villages and bastide towns with maisons de maître, barns and village houses for sale, rivers and the canal latéral de la Garonne (part of the canal du Midi), up which the few remaining working barges still sail.
The views are expansive and comprise rolling hills and valleys of agricultural land. Much of the produce grown is well known in France - prunes of Agen, tomatoes and strawberries of Marmande, Armagnac brandy, apples, pears, kiwis and cherries. It is also a prolific wine growing area with Duras and Buzet being the most well known.
On the foody front, the most recognisable of the region is duck in its many forms such as foie gras, magret and gésiers. You can't help passing duck farms as you travel around that sell these products directly. Quite likely next to a vineyard selling their wine. Converted farmhouses are amongst many of Leggetts' properties for sale in the Lot-et-Garonne.
There are many chateaux in the Lot-et-Garonne including Biron, Lauzun, Lamothe, Scandaillac and Nerac, to name but a few. Medieval towns many of them bastides (of which there are 20) are to be found including Castillones, Monflanquin and Villereal. Top end properties such as manoirs are for sale in the department.
It is an exhilarating area for walking with much of the department marked out for ramblers and cyclists along paths where you'll meet hardly a soul. As most villages are part of these routes, it's quite likely to find one within walking distance of your French house.
All year round are morning markets in many towns and villages. The perfect place to meet friends and family over a coffee or something stronger. This really is life unchanged for centuries. During the summer months, many of these towns hold lunchtime and evening producers' markets, where food and drink is consumed in a convivial environment.
You would expect life in the Lot-et-Garonne to be unhurried. Well, it is in the winter, when, in front of the fire, we put up our feet with a glass of wine, but the summer is quite different.
The château at Duras, for example, plays host to opera, classical concerts and the occasional rock concert. There are the producers' markets, wine fairs, antique fairs, village fetes and the "vide greniers" â France's wonderful alternative to the car boot sale - a must for any collector. You could furnish your house in France!
