A spacious stone village house to renovate with sunny garden, in the heart of a 'Bastide Village" in the department of Lot et Garonne. A large terraced house with an outlook to the village green at the front and views down into a pretty valley behind, with a garden of 663m2 across the road, with a garden shed. The property offers approx 55m2 on each of two floors, plus an attic (recent roof) and a huge wine cellar/garage below with access out to the road.

Entrance hall leads to a 15m2 kitchen with fireplace and lovely views, small living room and shower room. Stairs to the first floor where there are 4 rooms, two with valley views. Large attic, with fairly recent roof, and insulation. Below the house is a double height cellar with garage doors allowing you to enter a car.

The house requires a full internal renovation, and re-arrangement of the space to create a 3 bedroom home of some 110m2. An ideal location with the shops ( baker, bar, restaurant, grocers, school) a few steps away, and the village green in front. Really nice country views from the rear rooms of the house. Shops on foot.

Toulouse and Bergerac airports 75 minutes.

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.
