Huis te koop - Auch (Frankrijk)

Lovely town house, new to the market, situated in the centre of Auch, the departmental capital of the Gers. At walking distance to everything, this three storey building is in lovely condition and would be perfect as a large family home, or two or three apartments. It has previously been rented so an income stream is possible. The house is found on the first and second floors of an old building, a 5 minute climb to the cathedral and main square in Auch. The house offers on the first floor a large living room and dining room with door to the garden, a small but acceptable kitchen, a second kitchen (if you want to do two apartments on this floor) which could easily become a pantry and laundry area and two good sized bedrooms with a shower room and a bathroom. The whole floor oozes charm – high ceilings, old tomette tiles, decorative fireplaces, stone stairs – but has 21st century comfort – central heating, double glazing, a new roof and insulation. This part of the house could easily becomes two one bedroom apartments, if desired, but it also flows as a house. Upstairs are four large rooms, two recently modernised with views of the cathedral on the hill, are built into the eaves. The other two, with views to the garden, are in the same style as downstairs – beams, tomettes, high ceilings, lovely brick chimney stacks – so much character. There is one nice shower room on this floor, recently completed, clean and modern. The rooms are so large that it would be possible to do a couple more, if required. The ground floor of the property is currently used as a worlshop, and has the possibility of a shop. This floor at the moment is a succession of small rooms including a tiny kitchen, shower, WC and courtyard. It is completely separate from the house and would make a good rental, if desired. There is also a 28m² garage, for the owner's sole use. From the kitchen and the dining room you can access the garden, which is lovely. It's on a small slope so is slightly terraced with a path running from top to bottom. At the top there is a locked gate which leads to the street behind, where there is a car park. This means you can enter the property from this gate without having to encounter the main road. The garden has a terrace outside the kitchen door with two tiny sheds and a terrace at the top of the garden with views of the cathedral. The house is central Auch so there are other houses all around, and there is a road which goes past the front door. This property is not for someone who wants absolute calm (though the garden is peaceful), but for those who want the convenience of being able to walk to everything and the pleasure of having neighbours.

A rare property - a Maison de Maître built under the arches of the market place in a beautiful village situated between Auch and Mirande, on the famous route de St Jacques de Compostelle. This property has so much to offer, with bags of character and original features. Habitable immediately, with just some decoration works required, it is a real gem. The main house dates from 15th Century. On the ground floor, you have a kitchen of 50m² with an old, large and recently redone fireplace. A similar sized salon with wood panelling, a separate dining room and a bureau or ground floor bedroom with an en-suite completes the main body of the ground floor, with storage areas, a laundry room and a boiler room also on this level. The landing on the wide original wooden staircase has a door that gives on to the walled garden – beautifully maintained, very private and with a view of the church spire. Up to the first floor you find four bedrooms in lovely condition – tomette tiles, view of the market place, marble topped fireplaces, high ceilings – each with a dressing or bureau that could be turned into a bathroom or shower room, if required. There are three other rooms on this floor – one of 30m² which needs decorating and some minor work, which could communicate with it's neighbour of 16m² (a parental suite perhaps?) and finally a 45m² room which is currently used for storage and access to the roof, but which could be made again, into a suite, if desired. The whole upstairs is clean, well-maintained, and light and bright. Under the same roof as this amazing house which offers 432m² of habitable space, you have an apartment of 99m² on the first floor comprising a salon, kitchen with pantry area, bedroom, shower room/WC a dressing room. It has its own entrance from the market square and a private covered terrace of 38m² with an outside shower, WC and plant room. It is really extraordinary! This could easily be rented out as a holiday let, full-time let, or used by the owners if you want to do B B in the main house. It communicates with the main house but can also be locked for privacy. Finally there is a small building to renovate, again with it's own entrance. A part of this space is currently used for storage and could be left as it is as the roof is in good condition. It could also be sold separately, either before or after renovation. It has a covered terrace and a private outside space. As well as the habitable space this property offers, there is also a very large outbuilding of over 300m² accessible from the street and giving on to the garden, which is currently used as a garage and workshop. If you don't need this, a part of the building (or all of it) could come down to make a bigger garden. There are two other outbuildings in the garden, and two garages/storage areas under the arches, and under the apartment, so the property offers a very sensible amount of storage/garage space for the size of the house. The village is 16kms from the departmental capital of the Gers, has a small supermarket and a school, and is lively and well-maintained. If you are looking for a village house for a large family, or have a project in mind, this is definitely worth a visit.
