Church conversion near Mont-de-Marsan

Dating back to the 12th Century

Anything to do with churches is invariably spacious and incredibly good value for money and this example of an old presbytery conversion in a small Aquitaine hamlet is no exception to that rule. About 20 minutes away from it is the ancient town of Mont de Marsan which has close links with the French air force and, back in the 1970s was the venue for two punk rock festivals.

The two-storey presbytery, adjoining an old church with its spire, is a sound investment as a family or holiday home as it provides ample internal space including two reception rooms and four large bedrooms. And there is considerable scope to make further improvements subject, of course, to local considerations.

The property is just 5kms away from a village with shops. There are good roads to other parts of the region including the Atlantic coast and famous resorts such as Biarritz and St Jean-de-Luz. Mont de Marsan has good rail connections and a small airport.
