House in PLAISANCE , Gers , Midi Pyrenees

A charming old farmhouse with space and character, this property is a beautiful family home or could be put to many uses such as for chambres d'hote, or even a small country hotel. The plentiful outbuildings are in very good condition and lend themselves to being use for stables for horses, for other animals, or for garaging.

On the ground floor there is a large kitchen/living room with a wonderful open fireplace. Behind this, there is a bathroom and w.c., and a smaller room with a fireplace which links through to the rear hallway.

At the front of the house, the enormous entrance hallway has been divided from the rear hall to create a large dining room/office. To the other side of this room is another very large reception room, currently used as a bedroom.

The rear hallway runs laterally across the house and leads to an outside door at the side. Beside this door there is another large room with an open fireplace, which is in its original condition, and is used for making confit and preserves, and so on.

Beside the bottom of the staircase, there is a door leading to the rear part of the building, where there is a large garage opening to the side. Within the garage area, there is a small room for the central heating boiler.

Upstairs on the first floor, at the front of the house there are two very large bedrooms off the large central hallway, which is separated from the rest of this floor by a glass partition and double doors.

On this floor there are also four other bedrooms, two of which are no longer in use, and a further room intended to be turned into a bathroom.

From the rear landing, there is a door to the rear of the house, where there is ample space to create more rooms.

Another staircase leads up to the roof space, which is high enough to be converted into more accommodation if wanted. The house has oil-fired central heating.

Outside, the farmhouse faces south over the (just over) eight hectares of land being sold with it, making it very suitable for keeping horses.

Apart from the spacious barns, there is a large pond, a well with a pump, and some woodland to provide firewood.

Altogether, this is an amazing property, offering many opportunities to the right purchaser.
