An Exceptional 18th-Century Manor House in South-West France

Five bedrooms. Four bathrooms. One hectare. Panoramic views in every direction.

Crowning the top of a hill with uninterrupted 360° views over the surrounding countryside, this magnificent 18th-century manor house is the stuff of dreams. Lovingly restored by its fastidious owner with exceptional taste and style, it is a historic home that is also wonderfully practical, set in one of the most spectacular positions in the region.

The House

Five bedrooms and four bathrooms are arranged across beautifully proportioned interiors, with generous reception rooms that impress without ever requiring a map. Period features abound, including exposed stonework, ancient beams, stone sinks and open fireplaces, lending the house a warmth, history and character that is impossible to replicate.

Sitting room: An open fireplace, a fine beamed ceiling and tiled flooring create a room of real warmth and atmosphere, and the natural spot for long winter evenings.

Kitchen: A grand, rustic country kitchen, stylishly presented, with an industrial range cooker and stone worktops. Equally suited to serious cooking and to simply opening a good bottle.

Dining room: A superb open fireplace provides a magnificent focal point for entertaining.

Hall / games room: A grand hallway that doubles as a games room, a versatile space for family and guests, and a worthy setting for a spirited tournament.

Bedrooms and bathrooms: Comfortable bedrooms and practical bathrooms, all presented in excellent condition.

Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort, and even the septic tank is fully compliant, a detail that will be appreciated by anyone familiar with buying property in France.

The Grounds

Set within one hectare of land, the property enjoys well-established gardens and a range of outbuildings. The centrepiece is a 14 x 4 metre swimming pool, ingeniously created within the ruins of an old stone barn and fitted with an electric cover. It is a truly distinctive feature, and one that is certain to make the house popular with guests.

The Location

Peaceful, private and quiet, the manor is just twenty minutes from the small city of Agen, with its fast TGV connection to Paris, and a short drive from local amenities, in this very special corner of South-West France.
