LECTOURE, Midi-Pyrénées, Address available on request

Situated in the Lectoure/ Condom area, on the outskirts of a popular village location, this impressive building and its adjacent land was once home to a shepherd and his flock of sheep.

If shepherds huts conjure images of small and cosy dwellings, think again. This property has large and spacious rooms, high ceilings and the proportions one might more easily associate with an impressive manor house.

The property has been partially restored, over a number of years, so that today we are presented with the bare and solid framework of a sizeable home with an excellent structure. With a new roof, concrete floors, exposed stone walls and new windows in most of the openings.

A fabulous stone staircase links the first and second floor and there is a vast barn adjacent to the property which could also be developed (subject to any necessary planning permissions).

We particularly like the way the property forms a large L shape around an internal sheltered garden area.

This is a property which will warrant a visit and is more easily described with our photographs and floor plans - with further information on request.

This is an opportunity to create a home almost from scratch, but with a solid structure and with evidence of electrical cables and drainage in place - and plans in place for what the current owners intended to do, there is ample opportunity for new owners to design the property around their own needs.

With wooded parkland, stone garden walls and many trees and bushes, the grounds provide plenty of outdoor space.

The nearby towns of Lectoure and Condom, with their weekly markets, schools and many shops and restaurants, are a popular destination for holiday makers and home seekers.

Agen with its Tgv station is just under an hours drive, and Toulouse international airport just over an hour.
