Country House

Property Description

This old stone farmhouse is located a short drive from the market town of Condom. It nestles in its own sizeable plot of land and has no near neighbours.
The property has been partially restored over the years, but the works have not been completed. Good headway has been made but a new buyer will need to complete the process.
The property comprises the original old farmhouse and a newer section to the property which has been developed with a view to having a second kitchen, second reception room and being able to host guests or tourists on two different sides of the property.
The orginal farmhouse:
We enter via the orginal front door, into an entrance hall, where one of the two staircases in the property, leads to the first-floor bedrooms.
To the left of the entrance hall there is a small snug or sitting room. There is a downstairs toilet in the entrance.
From here, we access the original farmhouse kitchen, which has authentic elements such as a large fireplace and stone sink, exposed beams, and a terracotta -style tiled floor.
Next to the kitchen there is a recently fitted downstairs bathroom, with a toilet and sink and bathtub.
In the middle and rear section of the old part of the house there are two big rooms, one of which has a woodburning stove and which is currently used as a dining-room. There is a second room of equal size which could also be a dining-room or a reception room. This second rooms houses a staircase to the first-floor mezzanine area, and beyond to a double bedroom under the eaves and a shower room, wc.
The newly developped part of the property :
Returning to the the main entrance hall, we head straight to the rear section of the property where works have progressed well to create a large reception room, with atelier style window openings and French doors to a terrace (in need of repair) and to a the shell of a vast new kitchen which has not yet been fitted, but which has been plumbed, with pipes lain for a central island. There is a utility room with a sink next to the new kitchen.
We access the first floor from the main entrance hall, where there are four bedrooms and work has commenced but not been completed, for bathrooms/shower rooms.
Our thoughts here at Bliss
This property is spacious and has some outbuildings (garage, covered barn area) and sits in a lovely part of Gascony close to Condom.
It will appeal to buyers who are willing to complete a renovation project and put their own mark on a building.
The work that has been completed allows us to easily see what the property will become, and we particularly like the choice of old terracotta floor tiles in the kitchen and new reception room.
There are some areas which have deteriorated and require total restoration such as the wooden block terrasse which has rotten.
This is a definite project but could become a sizeable home with the advantage of two kitchens and two very separate reception areas, which might appeal to multi-generational families living together, or potentially anyone wishing to create a gite.
