Elegant Country Living in a Gers Village
Overview
This enchanting stone cottage offers all the character and warmth one seeks in a French country residence. Thoughtfully proportioned and low maintenance, the property pre-sents a rare opportunity to own a refined yet manageable home in a picturesque village setting. With ivy cascading down golden stone walls and an abundance of terracotta pots brimming with lavender, hydrangeas and geraniums, the atmosphere is immediate-ly welcoming and serene.

A traditional duck-egg blue wooden door opens into a spacious hallway with original terracotta and hand-painted tiles, setting the tone for the rest of the home.
The House
Arranged over two levels and built into the hillside, the property offers two distinct en-trances: one on the upper level and another on the garden level below.

Gas central heating is installed throughout the home, although the current owners often prefer the comfort of the wood-burning stove.

The upper floor is used as the bedroom level, having been fully renovated by the current owners.

Upper Floor
Entering via the main door, this level comprises a generous hallway leading to three bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are of substantial size, while the third may also serve as a home office.

All bedrooms feature new, soft cream wall-to-wall carpeting. The hallway retains the original ceramic flooring, adding to the property's historic charm.
A wooden staircase leads down to the living and entertaining areas.

Garden Level
Accessed either via the interior staircase or directly from the garden through two sets of glazed double doors, this open-plan space is the heart of the home. Stone walls, ex-posed wooden beams, and a wood-burning stove set on a terracotta base create an in-viting and authentic country interior.

To one side is a fully equipped kitchen with built-in breakfast bar and a large window framing the view. It includes extensive cabinetry, a ceramic feature backsplash with a central tree motif, and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, oven and fridge.

At the centre of this space is the dining area, while the opposite end serves as a cosy sitting room with direct garden access. The continuity of stone and wood elements throughout this level enhances its cohesive and characterful ambiance.
Glazed doors open onto a covered terrace, designed as a summer kitchen. With a tim-ber-framed structure and traditional canal roof tiles echoing the main house, this is an ideal space for shaded dining and quiet reflection amidst the natural surroundings.

Garden & Pool
Facing due south, the garden enjoys uninterrupted views across rolling countryside, with the Pyrenees visible in the distance—particularly during the winter months. While set within a village, the house offers complete privacy with no direct view of neighbouring properties.
The garden centres around a well-proportioned, figure-eight swimming pool bordered by a tiled terrace, perfectly positioned to enjoy the sweeping views.
A gated entrance allows for private, off-road parking. Mature trees and a traditional stone well lend further charm and a sense of history to the grounds.
Bliss Verdict
This property offers a rare blend of traditional French architecture and refined touches that evoke a subtle British influence, resulting in a home of exceptional warmth and character. It is ideally suited to buyers seeking a turnkey country retreat on a managea-ble scale—perfectly appointed, yet never overwhelming.
This is not a property for those seeking extensive acreage or grand proportions, but ra-ther for those in search of authenticity, comfort, and elegance in a truly idyllic setting.
