A House for sale by the owner located in the village of Girosp near Aspet in the Haute Garonne, France. This house was one of the original two "granges" built by the local order of French monks who founded Girosp in the 14th or 15th Centuries. This beautiful village house has now been restored and will make an ideal permanent home, holiday home, chambre d'hote or gite. The house is full of original features and has been restored by local French craftsmen using local materials. Original features include a bread oven, arrow slits, two external stone stairways, exposed beams, half timbering and the remains of a defensive tower. The house totals 260m² on two floors with a double garage, two balconies, three large ground floor rooms and four 1st floor bedrooms (each one big enough for an en-suite bathroom).
