French property in Midi Pyrenees - Gers - Modern wood-framed 5-bedroom family home with natural swimming pool set in 1 ha in a quiet lane in the Gers countryside

This lovely 5/6-bedroom wood frame family home is ready to move into, set in a quiet lane in the heart of the rolling Gers countryside. It was built in 1998 to modern standards with double-glazing, insulation etc. and is divided into living area on the right and sleeping area on the left. It has propane gas central heating with a woodburning stove in the large 44m2 living room. One wall of the living room consists of 2 large sets of sliding patio doors which open onto the south-facing wooden terrace which runs along the width of the ‘living’ side of the house. A feature wall of old timbers divides the living room from the kitchen/diner (26m2) which also has two sets of patio doors, one set opening onto the south-facing wooden terrace, the other set to the side of the house. The water to the cold water tap is filtered by osmosis to give pure drinking water. The kitchen has a range of overhead and under-worktop cupboards and a 4-ring gas hob but no oven. There is a separate store room off the kitchen with a door opening to the side of the house. Leading off the living room is another room built as an office (18m2) for the home worker. Partly divided by feature timbers to make an ‘office area’ and ‘meeting area’, it has its own front door and a WC.

In the sleeping area are a laundry/boiler room with shower, hand basin and a water softener and a large family bathroom with two hand basins. There are 5 bedrooms: 15m2, 13m2, 10m2, 18m2 and 14m2. Each bedroom has plenty of built-in cupboards as does the bathroom and along a wall under the stairs. Stairs lead to the first floor which is one very large room, 45m2, again with plenty of storage cupboards. This room was originally the family games room but could easily be transformed into the master bedroom with an en-suite.

Outside the 1ha garden is mainly grass and is bordered by trees with a lovely naturally-filtered swimming pool. A small area of woodland also belongs to the property to provide wood for the woodburner. There is a wooden-framed workshop with covered car port.

This beautiful property must be seen to be fully appreciated. It is only 5 minutes to Nogaro with its full range of shops and schools and the Paul Armagnac motor racing track, 45 minutes to the station at Mont de Marsan where it is intended to open a TGV link to Paris, 1 hour to Pau and 2 hours to Bordeaux, Toulouse, the Pyrenees and the Atlantic coast (Biarritz airport).
