REDUCED in price - A most impressive and large stone COUNTRY HOUSE with a BARN outbuilding, a GUEST GITE and over 2 ACRES grounds, quiet rural location near to Bourg de Visa, Tarn et Garonne. Dating from the 18th century and offering some 215m2 accommodation, on two floors plus cellars, this character home is in habitable condition, but requiring bringing up to date (heating, electrics, bathrooms).
The property is set in a quiet, no-through hamlet. Drive to ample parking and the barn. Stone steps up to the front door and entrance to a hallway, with ancient oak floor.
To the left a spacious and bright kitchen (25m2) with high beamed ceiling, terracotta tiled floor and wood-burning cooker supplying the central heating system. The kitchen needs fitting out. Through to a spacious living room (25m2) with monumental stone fireplace, high ceiling, wood floor.
Off the hallway are double bedroom 1 (25m2) with wide oak plank floor and en-suite shower room. Double bedroom 2 (22m2) also with wide oak plank flooring.
Upstairs is a huge attic space (130m2) with proper poplar wood floor, insulated roof (re-done in 2011), which I have counted as a bedroom, but which could be divided into 3 bedroom suites quite easily. Shower room with WC.
Under the house are 4 large cellar rooms.
Outside there is a character 1 bedroom self contained GUEST GITE (needs updating) with living/kitchen, terrace, shower room, bedroom, and a large stone barn ideal for workshops / stables.

The department of Tarn et Garonne in Midi Pyrenees has many assets, a wonderful climate, cultural heritage, an interesting history, unspoilt nature and welcoming local residents.
Tarn et Garonne is composed of 30+ cantons and 190+ towns and villages all dotted around the rural landscape and in the hills that lead up to the Pyrenees mountains, the snow-covered peaks can be seen in the distance when the weather is good. A charming feature of the area are the historical monuments dating back to the Middle Ages: churches, ramparts, castles, abbeys, and bastides.
Set in the heart of the Gascony region, Tarn et Garonne was traditionally a hat-manufacturing area, you can buy them everywhere still and boaters are still made there, particularly in Sept-fonds which is worth a visit.
Climate is warm but pleasant and property prices are less than some neighbouring coastal departments, great 'second home' region due to the barmy summer weather but also a very popular place for retirees.
