Auvillar, Midi-Pyrénées 82340

A fabulous characterful stone house in the heart of Auvillar Nestled in the very heart of the historic and prosperous village of Auvillar, this 18th-century stone and brick house, with potentially even older features, offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special. Located in a central yet wonderfully peaceful spot, near the beautiful historic church, the house is right in the heart of village life. Auvillar is far from a place that shuts down in November: it boasts a vibrant community year-round, with a charming mix of local residents and an increasingly international population. Cafes, restaurants, shops, and essentials are all within easy walking distancewhich is fortunate, as you might find yourself spending quite a bit of time admiring your work. The house itself offers approximately 166 square meters of living space and is currently, to be perfectly honest, an empty shell. The good news? The most expensive part has already been taken care of. A completely new roof was recently installed at considerable expense, leaving the new owner with the much more pleasant task of deciding what will go underneath. There's an abundance of period character waiting to be brought back to life, including a fabulous original stone staircase, stunning brick arches, and plenty of stonework. Rather than trying to erase decades of someone else's decorating choices, you have the rare luxury of starting from scratch and finishing the house entirely to your own tastes and requirements. Outside, there is a charming walled private garden of approximately 103 square meters, accessible through a pretty iron gate a surprisingly intimate little oasis considering the centrality of the property. It is a project in its own right, but with an unusual appeal: the structure, the location, the character and the new roof are already in place the rest is up to you. For anyone seeking a large, characterful house in one of the region's most charming small towns, boasting authentic architectural charm, a private garden and the convenience of village life on their doorstep, this one is hard to beat. In short: a fabulous old house, a brand new roof, an ideal location, and just enough work left to make it your own. What more could you ask for?
