Lovely town house, new to the market, situated in the centre of Auch, the departmental capital of the Gers. At walking distance to everything, this three storey building is in lovely condition and would be perfect as a large family home, or two or three apartments. It has previously been rented so an income stream is possible. The house is found on the first and second floors of an old building, a 5 minute climb to the cathedral and main square in Auch. The house offers on the first floor a large living room and dining room with door to the garden, a small but acceptable kitchen, a second kitchen (if you want to do two apartments on this floor) which could easily become a pantry and laundry area and two good sized bedrooms with a shower room and a bathroom. The whole floor oozes charm – high ceilings, old tomette tiles, decorative fireplaces, stone stairs – but has 21st century comfort – central heating, double glazing, a new roof and insulation. This part of the house could easily becomes two one bedroom apartments, if desired, but it also flows as a house. Upstairs are four large rooms, two recently modernised with views of the cathedral on the hill, are built into the eaves. The other two, with views to the garden, are in the same style as downstairs – beams, tomettes, high ceilings, lovely brick chimney stacks – so much character. There is one nice shower room on this floor, recently completed, clean and modern. The rooms are so large that it would be possible to do a couple more, if required. The ground floor of the property is currently used as a worlshop, and has the possibility of a shop. This floor at the moment is a succession of small rooms including a tiny kitchen, shower, WC and courtyard. It is completely separate from the house and would make a good rental, if desired. There is also a 28m² garage, for the owner's sole use. From the kitchen and the dining room you can access the garden, which is lovely. It's on a small slope so is slightly terraced with a path running from top to bottom. At the top there is a locked gate which leads to the street behind, where there is a car park. This means you can enter the property from this gate without having to encounter the main road. The garden has a terrace outside the kitchen door with two tiny sheds and a terrace at the top of the garden with views of the cathedral. The house is central Auch so there are other houses all around, and there is a road which goes past the front door. This property is not for someone who wants absolute calm (though the garden is peaceful), but for those who want the convenience of being able to walk to everything and the pleasure of having neighbours.
