Property Description: This interesting timber-framed (colombage) house has been well restored retaining its traditional qualities. With approximately 230 sq.m. of living area there is lots of room for a spacious family home or to welcome guests.
Downstairs one entrance leads into the modernised side of the house where you find a large, light sitting/dining room with wood burner in the chimney. Just alongside is a smaller room used as an office. From the sitting room you pass the downstairs toilet and shower, and then into the kitchen with its beamed ceiling and grand fireplace. To the rear of this a door leads through to the old wine store and a separate utility room for the central heating boiler. From the kitchen the little entrance hall leads to another room currently used as a downstairs bedroom.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, two still have their original beamed ceilings and one has a large fireplace. Three of the rooms have been modernised with in-built wardrobes. There is also a bathroom and a space that could be used as another bedroom or perhaps a games/exercise room.
Outside and to the rear of the house is a lovely shaded terrace for summer eating, and a number of outhouses and a double garage. The hectare of land and garden includes a little orchard and animal housing. Sitting on the edge of a rural village but within easy reach of a very lively market town and an hour’s drive from Toulouse this is a spacious house with lots of character.
