17 rooms, 531m²,  House for sale in Auch - 409 000 € *

A rare property - a Maison de Maître built under the arches of the market place in a beautiful village situated between Auch and Mirande, on the famous route de St Jacques de Compostelle. This property has so much to offer, with bags of character and original features. Habitable immediately, with just some decoration works required, it is a real gem.
The main house dates from 15th Century. On the ground floor, you have a kitchen of 50m² with an old, large and recently redone fireplace. A similar sized salon with wood panelling, a separate dining room and a bureau or ground floor bedroom with an en-suite completes the main body of the ground floor, with storage areas, a laundry room and a boiler room also on this level.
The landing on the wide original wooden staircase has a door that gives on to the walled garden – beautifully maintained, very private and with a view of the church spire. Up to the first floor you find four bedrooms in lovely condition – tomette tiles, view of the market place, marble topped fireplaces, high ceilings – each with a dressing or bureau that could be turned into a bathroom or shower room, if required. There are three other rooms on this floor – one of 30m² which needs decorating and some minor work, which could communicate with it’s neighbour of 16m² (a parental suite perhaps?) and finally a 45m² room which is currently used for


storage and access to the roof, but which could be made again, into a suite, if desired. The whole upstairs is clean, well-maintained, and light and bright.
Under the same roof as this amazing house which offers 432m² of habitable space, you have an apartment of 99m² on the first floor comprising a salon, kitchen with pantry area, bedroom, shower room/WC & a dressing room. It has its own entrance from the market square and a private covered terrace of 38m² with an outside shower, WC and plant room. It is really extraordinary! This could easily be rented out as a holiday let, full-time let, or used by the owners if you want to do B&B in the main house. It communicates with the main house but can also be locked for privacy.
Finally there is a small building to renovate, again with it’s own entrance. A part of this space is currently used for storage and could be left as it is as the roof is in good condition. It could also be sold separately, either before or after renovation. It has a covered terrace and a private outside space.
As well as the habitable space this property offers, there is also a very large outbuilding of over 300m² accessible from the street and giving on to the garden, which is currently used as a garage and workshop. If you don’t need this, a part of the building (or all of it) could come down to make a bigger garden. There are two other outbuildings in the garden, and two garages/storage areas under the arches, and under the apartment, so the property offers a very sensible amount of storage/garage space for the size of the house.
The village is 16kms from the departmental capital of the Gers, has a small supermarket and a school, and is lively and well-maintained.
If you are looking for a village house for a large family, or have a project in mind, this is definitely worth a visit.
