Village house with garden and garage

Charming 19th-Century Village Stone House with Timeless French Character

Tucked discreetly away in a peaceful side lane, yet just a leisurely stroll from the lively village bar in La Sauvetat-de-Savères, this delightful 19th-century stone house offers the best of both worlds: tranquillity when you want it, conviviality when you don’t.

A much-loved holiday home for many years, it is now, rather reluctantly, offered for sale, ready for its next chapter. Behind its gated entrance lies a wonderfully private setting with a generous, level lawned garden, mature trees and a traditional stone garage/workshop—perfect for storing everything from bicycles to ambitious DIY projects that may or may not ever happen.

Inside, the house is rich in authentic French character. The rustic country kitchen, with its open fireplace, exposed beams and traditional tiled floor, is the sort of room that naturally encourages long lunches and leisurely conversations. A cosy study opens directly onto the garden, providing an ideal retreat for reading, writing or simply pretending to work.

The true showstopper, however, is the magnificent sitting room. With its dramatic full-height ceiling, impressive stone fireplace, exposed stone walls, original stone sink, timber flooring and magnificent beams overhead, it is a room with real presence—equally suited to lively family gatherings or quiet evenings with a glass of local wine.

The accommodation includes five comfortable bedrooms, all full of character with beamed ceilings, together with two bathrooms, making the property ideal as a family home, holiday retreat or a place to welcome guests.

The house has been carefully maintained and is presented in excellent structural condition, benefiting from double glazing and electric heating, allowing period charm to sit comfortably alongside modern practicality.

Perfectly positioned, the property is just 15 minutes from the thriving city of Agen, with its excellent shops, restaurants and high-speed TGV connections to Paris, while Toulouse can be reached in around an hour and a half.

Properties like this don’t try too hard to impress—they simply do. Full of warmth, authenticity and unmistakable French charm, this is a home where memories have been made for decades, and where many more are waiting to be created.
