Saint-André-et-AppellesGironde

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! A beautiful stone house, a huge barn, a private courtyard, heated swimming pool and a garden, with vineyards just beyond – if this is what you came to southwest France hoping to find, it may be time to stop looking. With five bedrooms and all the accommodation on one level, it has character in abundance but is also a very easy house to live in.

The traditional stone entrance opens onto an attractive courtyard, with the house and its impressive barn facing one another. Although part of a small hamlet, the grounds feel surprisingly private and are not overlooked – something you really appreciate once you are inside.

The house offers around 164 m² of accommodation and has retained plenty of its original character. The 39 m² living room is a real highlight, with exposed stone, enormous beams, original tomettes, a fireplace and a recently installed wood-burning stove.

The spacious kitchen/dining room is equally inviting, with a large central island, room for a proper dining table, a fabulous glazed wine store and a separate integrated wine cooler.

There are five double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en suite shower room with WC to the master bedroom. Everything is on the ground floor, which makes the layout particularly practical, whether this is a permanent home or somewhere regularly filled with visiting family and friends.

Outside, the 11 m x 5 m swimming pool with Roman steps sits alongside the terrace and grassed garden, with plenty of room for eating outside, sunbeds and long summer afternoons. There is also a seating area which catches the evening sun and a small gate leading towards the neighbouring vineyards.

The 153 m² double barn is almost as large as the house itself and is a fantastic feature, providing an exceptional amount of additional space as well as plenty of potential for the future, subject to any necessary permissions.

There is further potential adjoining the kitchen, where the existing ancillary space could potentially be incorporated to create a much larger kitchen/dining/family room, subject to structural advice and any necessary permissions.

A separate parking area opposite the house provides space for several cars while leaving the courtyard exactly as it should be – for people rather than parking.

It is the combination that makes this property stand out: a characterful stone house, five bedrooms all on one level, privacy, pool, garden, that enormous barn and vineyards just beyond the gate. This is one that is well worth seeing in person.
