18c Country House Set Around A Splendid Courtyard
An authentic stone-built house, dating from 1768, set in pretty rolling countryside a short distance from a tiny chapel. A unique feature is the partially covered courtyard, in the centre of the main house and converted outbuildings. The property has a wealth of period details with an appealing country kitchen, lofty salon with mezzanine and long dining/party room. All ground floor rooms have French windows accessing the courtyard, terraces and gardens. A magnificent oak pergola, 30 metres in length, runs across the southern façade to create shade and cooling in summer. Four bedrooms in the main house on ground and first floor, with two bedrooms in an adjoining guest wing.
Well placed for Marciac’s market, bars and restaurants and the renowned Jazz in Marciac festival. A delightful property equally suitable as a holiday or permanent home having great potential for high-end summer lettings with the addition of a swimming pool.
