casa for Køb i Duras, Nueva Aquitania

Just a stone's throw away from the delightful little town of Duras, nestling among the rolling hills of Entre-Deux-Mers, this bright house would make a delightful family or holiday home. The living accommodation is currently all on the ground floor, with a similar area upstairs for conversion. You will just fall in love with Duras. Every Monday morning the farmer's market arrives, attracting sellers from farms around the area, as well as buyers from much further afield, all keen to sample the excellent produce. If you are hoping to soak up some truly French local character this is really the place to find it. It may not be particularly large but in addition to its fabulous chateau, there are pretty pavement cafes, restaurants, useful shops and other amenities. The house is in excellent order and ready for immediate use. The total habitable area extends to 245m2 of which only about half has been converted. This leaves plenty of room to add extra bedrooms and bathrooms, on both the ground and upper floors, at modest cost. The eventual outcome could be a 5-bedroomed house or perhaps a separate annexe for paying guests. The ground floor accommodation comprises a fitted kitchen/dining room (20m2), sitting room (27m2) with open fire, hallway (19m2), 3 double bedrooms (12m2, 12m2 & 15m2), shower room with washbasin and separate WC. In addition there is a room of 42m2 (unconverted). The first floor has three rooms (all about 30m2) needing conversion. This property is not unsurprisingly, surrounded by vineyards as well as having its own mature orchard of about 20 fruit trees. There is a covered terrace (30m2), outbuilding and garage (20m2). Lying between the cities of Bordeaux and Toulouse the Lot-et-Garonne is in a great location. As well as good choice of airline and departure points around the UK, train travel is an other possibility with TGV links to Paris, Bordeaux and Toulouse. Nearby you can take up horse riding, walk the vineyard paths, cycle, play golf or swim and fish in the lakes. A short drive way is Eymet, the highly popular Bastide town. 3 bedrooms 1 bathroom 1 reception room Total house area: 245m2 Land area: 3623m2 Easy reach local town South-east aspect Built about 1880 Gas central heating + open fire Septic tank Some double glazing Private parking area 4g mobile reception & fast internet connection 2 water wells 35kms international airport DPE 124/34 Please note: All locations and sizes are approximate.
