A delightful townhouse with a walled garden just steps away from the bustling high street, yet preserving a quiet elegance and gentle tranquility with a beautiful private garden This property has been completely renovated; the roof, electricity, plumbing, heating system, bathrooms and kitchens have all been entirely replaced during the renovations. The property is ready to move into immediately and is designed tastefully in neutral tones. The property is light and elegant with a pleasant mix of contemporary and period features. This property has the added advantage of having an additional studio with kitchen, shower room and reception area. This studio appartment can be linked to the main house or used as a separate dwelling for guests and has its own separate entrance in the street behind the house. The Garden The enclosed garden provides the perfect amount of outdoor space whilst being the perfect size for easy maintenance. There are a number of mature trees, including palm trees there are both sunny and shaded spots for those hot summer months A stone path leads from the garden up a couple of steps to a spacious wooden terrace and to the door to the main house. We enter the main house from the garden, the walk through the small and newt garden heightening our sense of “leaving the world behind” and yet being just a stone’s throw away from the bakery, local cafés and restaurants. The Ground Floor This spacious reception room comprises a living-area and large open plan kitchen. The large windows overlooking the garden flood the room with sunlight. There is a wood-burning stove for cozy winter nights in-front of a movie. It should be noted that as an extension to the ground floor of the main house we can also access (via a connecting door) the ground floor of the separate studio apartment, thus entering a second reception area with a kitchen. The studio has undergone the same tasteful renovations as the main house. Back to the Main house & The First Floor The staircase is a remarkable feature in itself as it is flooded with daylight from the huge skylight in the high ceiling above; a real bonus on a rainy day and a juxtaposition of light and shadow on a sunny day depending on the hour. This part of the property adds a delightful contemporary note to the home and ensures a sensory light-filled experience every time you ascend to the first floor. From the landing, we can see that the first floor has been expertly divided into two large and luxurious suites. On our right is the first suite; a sunny, spacious bedroom with three gorgeous windows and wooden floors, a large walk-in closet, separate WC and a beautiful shower room. On the other side of the landing is the second suite, almost as spacious in size. This comprises a large shower room, WC, a double bedroom with two windows, ornamental fireplace, and an alcove/dressing area which is equipped with a water connection should this be required in the future Second Floor There are two good-sized rooms on the second floor, and although this section of the property is under the eaves, there is more than enough space for a bedroom and a large study. The vast skylight on the landing, as well as the smaller ones on both sides, are all original features and were newly fitted when the roof was replaced. The Cave Not all town houses in the Gascony have basements, but this one is an exception. It is accessed by a small door below the living room, and provides enough space to store wood and other items, and to keep the hot water heater in a safe and dry place. It is an ideal spot for a secret store of wine. The Garage This is a real plus for a town house, and although only spacious enough to park a small car, it is the perfect space to keep your bicycles and gardening equipment. It has been well renovated, in keeping with the entire property, and has a separate workshop area. A door leads to the first-floor studio with balcony. Our thoughts at Bliss Here at this property, you would be forgiven for feeling you are in a rural secluded cottage but with one immense advantage – the garden doors open onto a vibrant town from which you can visit its eclectic shops and excellent restaurants, as well as benefiting from all the amenities a town offers, such as doctors, a cinema (with original version screenings), theatre, concerts, and more.

We leave the lively town of Condom, and head for the countryside. The drive to the property is peaceful, and we soon leave the main roads behind, traversing farmland, fields of wheat, sunflower and corn. On arrival, we pull into a smart driveway beside a neat looking garden, where from the outset everything appears to be in immaculate order. The property has recently been rendered, and has a smart and attractive appeal from the outside. The windows have all been recently changed to aluminium their frames contrasting nicely with the stone façade. The land slopes down to a row of vines in neat rows, lending a feel of Provence to the landscape which is lush and emerald green. This is a peaceful location, the one neigbouring property turned to face the other way and at a discreet distance. The house looks towards the views and over its own garden. There is nothing to spoil the landscape for miles around. On the far side of the property, there is a fabulous covered terrace which has been designed as an outdoor reception room, with a summer kitchen, an ideal spot for a large dining-table, and views both to the pool and orchard. This sheltered spot provides a perfect place for alfresco dining both in summer rain or scorching hot days when it is impossible to sit outside without shade. We enter a light-filled open-plan kitchen/reception-room with large bay windows on two sides, one opening directly onto the recently fitted pool and the other to the terrace where the owners like to sit in the evenings for a drink. The view of the poolside, when the windows are pulled open, is particularly inviting; lending the impression that one could step from the living room directly to the waters edge. Our impression that this is one continuous space is accentuated by the stone terrace which flows nicely from the house to the pool in one continuous stretch. In the living room there is a fireplace which houses a log-burning glass insert, for snug winter evenings by the fire. The walls and floors are all in neutral tones, with a clean white ceiling, which gives the impression the property has only just been built, despite the old stone walls. The kitchen is immaculate, with a number of useful contemporary white storage units, a central island, and a view directly onto the reception room, and to the pool. There is a walk in cupboard for additional storage. The splash-back is tiles with white ceramic tiles, the oven inserted into a wall unit and the extractor fan in slick black : all of white contribute to the kitchen’s crisp, smart appeal. To the rear of the kitchen a small inner corridor leads to an additional pantry area, where the freezer and fridge are kept, with additional storage cupboards. At the end of the corridor there is a downstairs cloakroom, with WC and wash basin and next to it, a lovely clean white laundry room with a downstairs shower. At the end of the hallway, there is a downstairs double bedroom, which in turn has its own private entrance/exit, opening onto a covered porch area with a concrete floor, where the family car is parked, and where a door leads to a spacious barn with a new wooden doors, an ideal space to house the logs for the fire, or the garden tools. This workshop area has a concrete floor and a new pine ceiling with electricity, water and a sink. The ground floor double bedroom is ideal for guests or older children having a private door to the garden, and with the downstairs bathroom and shower room next door this enables perfect guest accommodation. This completes our tour of the ground floor. Now let’s take a look upstairs. We ascend to the first floor via a contemporary black metal staircase which leads to a spacious landing area, which is more than just a landing but an upstairs reception room, with lovely windows running the length of the room, and overlooking the front garden. There is a bookshelf, a guitar, the perfect area to relax, and take in the views. This central landing/upstairs living space has a hallway at each end, leading to the upstairs bedrooms. On one side there is a bedroom currently set up with twin beds, which has a skylight, and next to it a double bedroom with pleasant garden views from a tilting window, and exposed beams painted in white. On the other side of the landing there is a white marble bathroom with a bathtub, beautiful long sink, and shower, also with marble tiles. The bathroom has direct access to a fabulous long dressing room, with a row of cupboards on each side, with glass doors, with lots of space to keep all the family laundry hidden from view. In the hallway there is an upstairs cloakroom/WC, with red and white decorative tiles, and a washbasin, and at the far end of the hallway, a double bedroom with fantastic views both over the poolside and the surrounding countryside. The upstairs bedrooms share the aforementioned family bathroom, with shower and bathtub. The property has one final surprise for us. A separate guest cottage, which is has a downstairs bedroom, kitchen, and shower room/WC, and a first floor loft area, which is currently used as a music room for guitar sessions. The guest annexe is perfect for friends and family having its own kitchen, for complete independence.
