Charming maison de maitre for sale Tarn

This lovely property consists of an elegant manoir, built around 1800, and a second house of great charm, with independent access. Currently, it offers some 550m2 of habitable space, but there is scope for further accommodation in the attics. The manoir has retained many period features, such as marble or granite fireplaces in all rooms and wood or tiled floors throughout. There is a large garden of about 1,500m2, which includes a courtyard garden and three terraces. The various outbuildings include a coach house, garage and large workshop which could also be converted if required.
