Villefranche-de-Lauragais, Midi-Pyrénées 31290

A family farmhouse, with its guest cottage and tree-filled garden, surrounded by meadows and orchards, thirty minutes from downtown Toulouse. Inspired by the Languedoc architectural tradition, the farmhouse was designed with light-colour plaster walls cadenced with wooden pillars, which support the porch roof that shades the patio extending along its entire south-western wall. With an inhabitable floor area of approximately 180 m, the two-storey house includes living areas, six bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor, as well as three shower rooms.Spanning the entire width of the house, the living area, with its exposed beam ceiling, includes the living room, the centrepiece of which is a red brick fireplace with a solid wooden lintel, as well as a dining room bathed in abundant sunlight by three glass doors providing direct access to the garden. Continuing on from here, a half-open kitchen, separated by an atelier window, stands adjacent to a utility room, which is also used as a laundry room, while an additional room, with its own separate access from the outside, provides the possibility to exercise a professional activity here without disturbing the privacy of the household.As for the garden, with a surface area of approximately 3, 200 m and planted with trees and flowers, it blends in harmoniously with the surrounding countryside, while, out of sight from the main dwelling, an outbuilding of approximately 40 m provides a complete living space, perfect for hosting friends, seasonal guests and even renters. In addition, a phyto-purification sanitation system using sand, stones and reeds was recently installed, which is not only ecologically responsible, but is also an additional testament to the quality of life that reigns throughout these premises. Lastly, a swimming pool, an enclosed garage as well as a summer kitchen abutting the 80-m patio and overlooking the orchard, round out the property's considerable amenities.
