Mauvezin, Midi-Pyrénées 32120

Whilst close to the thriving town of Mauvezin with all its amenities, the driveway leading up through the trees to the house makes us feel we are leaving the world behind.  A sense of peace and calm pervades, both inside and out, the only sound is the leaves of the century old oak trees welcoming you, and perhaps the sound of a tennis game or splashing in the pool in the background. The main door of the house leads you straight into a magnificent reception room with a large open fireplace in the centre and a wood burner at the far end.  With designated areas for reading, dining, music and games, this old barn is most definitely the hub of the house.  Off this room, through impressively thick stone walls, the kitchen is large and airy.  The working part has views of the garden, making the washing up a pleasure!  A vast utility room is next door to the kitchen.  An east- facing veranda and its terrace also leads from the kitchen, perfect for those relaxing breakfasts. Back through the reception room, there is another doorway leading to a downstairs guest room, shower room and snug Tv room.  Going upstairs, there is an intriguing wooden door halfway up which reveals a charming bathroom under the eaves.  The sunken bath is an interesting feature! Continuing on upstairs, we find the second guest room and the master suite.  The cosy guest room feels inviting, and the master suite has its own shower room as well as lovely views of the garden to wake up to. To complete the main house, there is a tower behind the snug which has access to the garden so could become separate if required.  It currently has an office on the ground floor and a bedroom on each of the two floors above. Outside there are almost two hectares of trees and parkland, plenty of space to lose yourself, or to sunbathe, to play a game of tennis on the private tennis court, or to cool off in the swimming pool, so much choice. A small outbuilding has been converted into a games room with storage for garden equipment on the side. The charm of this lovely stone property is in its uniqueness
