CONVERTED BARN (1891) IN VILLAGE WITH 4500 M2 LAND
(Gers)
€ 162,000
Constructed in 1891 by Les Compagnons du Devoir (a highly respected group of Artisans and Master Craftsman that still exists today), this large open plan barn conversion (160m² of habitable surface area) was formerly used as a restaurant (and would in fact still make a great site for a restaurant), until the current owner spotted its potential as a home and transformed it with great style into an eclectic bachelor pad. Full of wonderful quirky details, it has a huge bar (fully plumbed), a lovely fireplace constructed from local stone, and a great unusual open staircase (which to be fair might prove a little treacherous if you'd had one or two too many at the aforementioned bar!), not to mention the spectacular woodwork throughout. Currently it has just the one bedroom, but if you wished, the mezzanine gallery could quickly be converted to an additional two bedrooms plus a bathroom. The 4500 square metres of land that come with the property comprise mainly hillside with some splendid oak trees, although with some landscaping and a little imagination who knows what you could achieve! Immediately behind the house, there is the perfect spot for a terrace/patio/barbecue area. There is also an additional 893 square metres of land (with planning permission) available for separate sale, so you could feasibly build a gîte or holiday cottage less than a minute's walk away from the house. The property is conveniently located only 10 minutes away from the excellent market town of Vic Fezensac and all its amenities. Although possibly not ideal for a family, it would be perfect for either a single person or a couple wanting something a bit different.
The property comprises:
On the ground floor:
Living area of 100m sq with fireplace and kitchen. Bathroom. Bedroom. WC.
On the mezzanine:
Area with space to make two or three more rooms.
Outdoor space:
Land of approximately 4500 m2 to the rear of the house. Although largely hillside with trees, there is room to install a terrace/barbecue area. There is an additional plot of land (not adjoining, but less than a minute's walk away) available for separate purchase. Please see our reference number: TBC.
