Fosses et Baleyssac, Gironde €715,000

This beautifully renovated four bedroom house is in a lovely setting with unobstructed southerly views. The property was originally a farmhouse plus attached barn which has been professionally renovated to create a spacious family home with around 7 hectares of land. The house has a traditional entrance hall with original terracotta floor tiles and wooden staircase. Off this is a formal dining room and sitting room. The attractive kitchen has cream units with granite work surfaces. There are some integral appliances, space for a farmhouse table and a door opening to a covered terrace which overlooks vineyards. Adjacent to this is a large and useful pantry. Upstairs are two big bedrooms with en suite bath/shower rooms and, for the master bedroom, a huge walk in wardrobe. The old barn has been transformed into a very light and airy living room, two bedrooms and a shared shower room and, should you want to use the barn as a separate dwelling, a large second kitchen. Externally there is an old tobacco barn which has been restored and which is currently used as a garage and equipment store. The grounds include a luxurious swimming pool and terrace, several covered terraces, two barbeques, parkland and a practice golf green.
