Elegant manoir set in Delightful grounds with parkland trees

A classic country house, extended in the 19C with a northern France influence, with light-filled rooms and rich in period details including a pretty turning staircase, plaster mouldings, marble fireplaces, panelled display cupboards and fitted library. The property is equally suitable as a holiday or permanent home.

Near Vic Fezensac: 5kms to a lively market town known for its annual festivals. 34 kms to Auch. 109 kms Toulouse Blagnac airport. The Pyrenees, Atlantic Coast and Spain are within an easy drive.

Approached through gates and by a treelined driveway, the front façade has an immense appeal and is particularly attractive when floodlit at night.

the grounds

From the entrance pillars and gates, a driveway lined with cedars and mulberry trees approaches a turning circle with feature rose bed.

3 hectares in all, with a great variety of centenarian trees providing many delightful shaded corners. The terrace looks onto a fine magnolia grandiflora and indigenous parkland trees. To the rear, the land extends into a large and level expanse of grassland with open views to wooded ridges. A long pond is home to moorhen and terrapin and deer are often sighted grazing in the grounds.

Outside, a rear terrace, 20x7 metres, with an ancient balustrade and adjoining the kitchen, is the perfect outdoor entertaining area.

Beyond, a lawn the size of a small cricket field is ideal for youngsters’ games.

A carport for three vehicles is discreetly set by the kitchen wing. Small garden store and greenhouse.

On the opposite side of the drive is a long pond attracting wildlife and is a pleasant feature to walk around.

The swimming pool, 12 x 5.5m, has a paved surround and electrically operated security cover.

WHAT THE AGENT SAYS

With its pretty façade and understated elegance, this charming property is the epitome of the small French manoir.

The local town has life and activities year round and at only 5kms is near enough to pop into to fetch the daily croissants.
