Welcome to our beautiful historic house in the tranquil, bastide village of Miélan in the south of the Gers.  Built in the around 1780 by Pierre Leglise, one of Napoleon's Generals, this Maison de Maître has been the principal residence within the bastide, as can be seen by the building's unique, original features.

The property has been lovingly restored to a high standard over the last decade to provide a charming family residence.   

The kitchen is fully equipped with all modern amenities, a 6 burner gas range with a double electric oven. The dining room, with original wooden flooring, provides increased seating for more special occasions.  The house is a perfect place to relax with a sitting room with fireplace as well as a Study. There are books, board games, TV, DVDs and a hifi stereo at your disposal.  Table tennis, table football and badminton are also to be found.

Upstairs on the first floor, there are four large double bedrooms; two ensuite doubles and two twins. Two of the rooms have south facing views of the Pyrenees. On the top floor you will find a hideaway double bedroom with views over the garden and its own private bathroom.

The house has been thoughtfully furnished with authentic English, French and Spanish antiques. Quality linen and towels are included. The laundry room has a tumble dryer and a washing machine.

Gardens: Coming from a family of plant professionals, the owners have given the same care and attention to the gardens as they have to the interior of the house. Rare and unusual plants have been sourced to provide a tranquil and lush haven within the backdrop of the bicentennial cedar trees, planted to commemorate Napoleon's passing through the village towards his Iberian Peninsula campaign. There is a small orchard and plenty of shady areas for relaxation, evening drinks and comfortable dining.  An original lean-to barn has been adapted to provide an informal space for eating, games etc. The back courtyard can comfortably fit three cars. There is more on-street parking space available.

The house is equipped with broadband fast fibre internet.
