Maison à vendre, 400m², Laroque-Timbaut

Description

Built in 1901 by the Agen based architect Ephraïm Pinètre, this remarkable Art Nouveau residence offers approximately 300 sqm of living space set within over 5.2 hectares of beautifully wooded grounds. Ideally located between Agen and Villeneuve-sur-Lot, the property enjoys a peaceful setting just a short walk from a charming village with shops and schools. Lovingly and tastefully renovated by its current owners, who were immediately captivated by the unique character of this property that perfectly combines period elegance with modern comfort. The ground floor opens onto an inviting entrance hall leading to a spacious eat-in kitchen with pantry, a bright dual-aspect dining room with fireplace, and an elegant reception room featuring original mouldings and cornices. A second sitting room, utility room and guest cloakroom complete this level. Upstairs, a generous landing leads to a beautiful principal suite with private shower room, a guest bedroom with en-suite shower room and WC, and a third bedroom also benefiting from its own adjoining shower room and WC. The top floor offers two additional spacious rooms that could easily become further bedrooms following some decorative finishing work, as well as a bathroom with plumbing and pipework already in place. The basement includes several cellars, storage rooms and a boiler room fitted with a Buderus oil-fired heating system. A separate guest house of approximately 50m², currently used as an artist’s studio with kitchenette and WC facilities, offers excellent potential for conversion into a gîte or independent accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. Outside, a magnificent circular terrace shaded by a majestic magnolia tree provides a wonderful setting for relaxation, while an attractive covered terrace just beside the kitchen is perfect for al fresco dining. The lovely grounds, beautifully planted with cedars, magnolias and fruit trees, create an exceptional and private environment ideally suited to equestrian use or country living. A rare character property where the charm of period architecture blends seamlessly with the elegance of a carefully executed renovation.
