_A 17th century 6-bedroom French chateau for under £800,000 with swimming pool
Approached via tree-lined drive with handsome entrance is a home owner's and renovator's dream on every level. Wake up to sweeping bucolic views of beautiful Tarn-et-Garonne countryside, frosted over in winter and honey-hued in summer, from this 6-bedroom, fully reworked manor house with Medieval flavours offering over 535 sq m of accommodation and plenty of land.
The stuff of novels and desperately good-looking French television dramas, it's a home with powder blue shutters that is as suited to comfortable family living or exceptional vacationing as it is to entertaining on an impressive and, for your guests, unforgettable scale.
It's also the sort of home that provides plenty of quiet breathing room - not just in its vastness - but that soothes the soul and lets thoughts be still. Filling it with guests.... totally optional.
Indoors, find inspiration at every turn for your next novel or business pitch, hold court at animated dinner parties in the formal Medieval-inspired room bursting at the seams with good friends or unfurl body and mind in a quiet nook by the pool.
The property wears its history on its sleeves. Sinewy beamed ceilings are a staple feature across most of the living accommodation with stone flooring and exposed, thick brickwork providing volumes of rustic authenticity.
The bones here are excellent, intricate details and use of colour give colour, depth and texture to the walls, which can be pared down or stripped back to suit a more neutral palette. There is plenty of opportunity for new owners to further improve and modernise with some non-urgent remedial works needed to bring into full working order.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms with their own en suite bathrooms in each of the towers, and a further four bedrooms sharing three bathrooms.
On the ground floor there is a summer room opening via French doors onto the covered pool terrace - a wonderful place to share meals al fresco, which leads on to the outdoor swimming pool.
There is approximately 17,500 sq m of land with a garage.
The property sits on the edge of Beaumont-de-Lomagne - a 13th-century Medieval town which has retained much of its fortifications. White garlic, a Lomagne speciality, is celebrated here every year at the garlic festival which takes place in July. New owners may want to explore the option of a holiday rental during the peak summer season.
The nearest airport is at Toulouse, which is around 50 km south of the property.
