Here we have a substantial property set in large gardens in a great location facing the village green of Beauville, in the glorious Lot et Garonne department of Aquitaine.
A property in two halves:
To the right:
A stone built, 3 bedroom centrally heated home with gardens behind and to the left what used to be the vet's surgery, now ready to be converted. The property has gardens front side and rear (over 500m2) and faces the lovely green with boules pitch and chestnut trees.
Entrance to the house via the covered porch to a small hallway leading to the rear living room (about 30m2) with wood floor, window and door to rear gardens and small sunny patio.
There is a wine cellar under this room. To the front an L-shaped kitchen with fireplace and in need of a re-fit.
Upstairs: 2 large double bedrooms and a small single, all with views over the garden or the green. Tiled bathroom, which could do with a re-fit.
To the left hand side:
The property comprises a parking area, integral garage, reception room, WC, Vet's surgery. Large attached outbuilding.
Over is an attic of about 90m2.
There are several possibilities for this property.
1) Convert the left hand side to a 3 bedroom house, therefore giving you two houses, house plus guest cottage or letting Guest Gite, each with own garden
2) Integrate the left hand into the right hand to create a very spacious home of 4 bedrooms plus, with some 250m2 accommodation.
3) Home plus business alongside.
Tax Fonciere approx. 1300 euros a year.
Village shops and popular restaurant a few steps away. Toulouse 1hr. Bergerac 75mins.
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.
