House in Fourcès , Gers , Midi Pyrenees

The house is situated in a peaceful square just off the famous main central square of Fourcès: one of the few villages in France to have a round square!
The front door nestles discretely in a private courtyard area.

Ground floor:
On entering there is a hallway (12 m2), which leads to a beautiful and fully fitted kitchen (24 m2), with a door leading to an adjacent pantry (4m2) running the full length of one side of the room.
The kitchen is well lit with the back door leading to the pretty garden that has been well maintained by the current owner.
To the right of the hallway there is a small corridor (7.5m2) with ample storage space and a downstairs WC (1.5m2).

First floor:
Wooden stairs lead to a landing area – to the right is an elegant living room (25m2) with a large fireplace and a ceiling height of 2.7 metres.
Straight ahead is the master bedroom (18m2) with its own en suite bathroom and shower and fabulous views of the river and the medieval village beyond.
Second floor:
From the living room, stairs lead to the converted attic area.
To the right is another large living room (38m2) currently serving as a library / storage space but this could easily become another bedroom with its own bathroom.
The attic bedroom (26m2) also has its own conjoined bathroom (with shower and WC).

Also included is a separate plot of land (181 m2) only a two-minute stroll away through the village, which would make an ideal vegetable or summer garden.

Location and Infrastructure:

Fourcès is situated in the northern Gers, on the borders of Lot-et-Garonne, and in ancient province of Gascony.
This medieval bastide village (a 13th century clock tower still remains) is officially recognised as one of the most beautiful in France. ‘Les Plus Beaux Villages de France’ is an independent association created in 1982 for the promotion of small rural villages with a rich cultural heritage. There are currently only 172 villages that merit this much-coveted accolade.

And for a village of less than 300 inhabitants the social calendar is also remarkably full. There are arts and crafts galleries, boutiques, antique shops throughout. And every year, in the last weekend of April, there is held the spectacular and internationally renowned flower festival.
