Anyone for French tennis?

Houses with tennis courts in the UK are generally accompanied by a fairly hefty price tag but that's not the case with this farmhouse in Gascony

This fully restored traditional farmhouse, which dates from 1878, is surrounded by its own gardens and in an entirely private setting.

Facing south, with a symmetrical facade and a glazed summer-room to the west, the property has nice views over wooded countryside. The house has 3-bedrooms, 2 receptions and 1 bathroom. The nearest airports are at Tarbes (60 mins), Pau (75 mins) and Toulouse is under 2 hours.

Outside are some useful outbuildings for garaging and storage, a hot tub and swimming pool with linking terraces and a hard tennis court in the grounds.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
