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.
