Montesquiou, Gers,
€695,000  |   Ref: 9268A

This elegant 18th century village property is a former convent and the adjoining former chapel could be let as an independent gite. The property is situated in the pretty village of Montesquiou and has beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. The popular towns of Mirande and Marciac are within easy reach and Toulouse (with its airport) is just over an hour away. 

The property has been fully renovated but retains many of its original features, including original wooden floors, staircase, fireplaces and tiles. The accommodation is bright and airy and the high ceilings give the property an elegant and spacious feel. The house is attached on one side to the neighbouring property and on the other to the garage. 

There’s a generous 330m2 of habitable space and the layout is as follows: 

Ground floor: 

Large entrance hall with beautiful staircase up to the first floor.
Sitting-room (with French doors to garden)
Dining-room (with French doors to garden) 
Fully equipped Kitchen and family dining area (with door to the covered terrace)

First floor: 

The grand staircase leads to a landing with access to 3 large bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has an en suite bathroom and there’s also a shared family bathroom. 

Adjoining chapel:

The ancient chapel is accessible either from the main internal staircase or directly from the street.
It currently consists of an office/library on the ground floor, together with 3 smaller rooms and a larger room upstairs which could be converted into a bedroom and en suite bathroom. With a bit of renovation work the former chapel would make an excellent gite. 

Outside:

There’s a total of 550m2 of outdoor space. There’s a very pretty terraced garden, which is set out over two levels and is a wonderful spot to enjoy the views. There’s also a large garage with automatic door.
