An exceptional estate for sale in a serene and private environment whilst being surrounded by enchanting countryside
Set against the serene backdrop of the Pays de Cocagne in the Tarn region of France, the estate benefits from relative proximity to the villages of Damiatte, Lavaur and Grauhlet. Believed to be Knights Templar in origin and previously designated as a site classe, the strategic location and fully enclosed courtyard of the manor afford a high degree of privacy and protection.Whilst a large portion of the manor's refurbishment was in 2006, the current owner has paid careful attention to upkeep the property and make further improvements. Heating in the main house is by a high specification woodchip burner (running off the estate's timber) and with solar panels for the hot water. The former farm buildings – now the guest gite – have also been subjected to tasteful renovation.MAIN HOUSEOn the ground floor - an impressive entrance hall with a stone staircase leading upstairs, a gorgeous sitting room with a stone fireplace and French windows to the rear terrace, a study, dining room with a wood-burning stove, the kitchen with granite worktops and beautiful cabinetry, a utility room, a second study, and a cloakroom.
