A terraced stone house for renovation in the heart of the 'Bastide Village' of Beauville, Lot et Garonne. A complete renovation is required here, but the property is cheap to start with and the location is good. No garden but just a step from the village green, the bakers, grocers, restaurant and primary school. A nice village to live in.

Front entrance to the ground floor which offers some 50m2 floorspace. Possible to create a sunny living room, a kitchen and laundry/utility room and WC. Door to rear lane ( see below). Stairs to the first floor, again about 50m2. Here it would be possible to create 2-3 bedrooms and a bathroom or two.

The attic is also convertible and spacious.

Ideal for someone with a small budget who wants to live in a pretty French village or for a professional who could do most of the work themselves. It would be possible to buy a separate plot of 4696m2 on the edge of the village to use as a garden, or possibly to build on, for an extra 16 000 euros.

Beauville is a hilltop bastide village with glorious countryside all around. Many small villages close-by. Agen 25 mins. Toulouse and Bergerac airports 75 mins.

The department of Lot et Garonne in Aquitaine has many small yet lively villages and this department in the south of France is a real find for both nature and culture lovers.

One of Lot et Garonne's assets are the views afforded by the properties over the Garonne or the Lot lush countryside with woodland and lots of leisure activities. The residents have invested well with most of them living in detached houses that are their principal residences. There are however lots of holiday or second homes to choose from.

Compared to the more expensive Perigord or Gers, the Lot et Garonne still holds some bargain French property buys. Perhaps a village home or a traditional stone house in a green environment is what you are looking for, if so, this area is the perfect place to invest in a second home.

Stripping out the usual fluctuations, the housing market in the region has been steadier than most. Long term investments may offer a good return in the future as the Lot-et-Garonne is increasingly appealing amongst foreign purchasers, just like the whole of the region of Aquitaine.
