A 19th Century House With A Swimming Pool In France’s Gironde Department, Just South East Of

A 19th-century house with a swimming pool in France’s Gironde

department, just south-east of the city of Bordeaux. The house was built in 1893. It stands on a vast square plot that covers 8,000m² (80 x 100 m). The garden extends around the main house, beside which a stone outbuilding stands. The design reflects upper-middle-class architecture of the local region and a holiday home style: broad roof slopes with large overhangs and harmonious integration into the river landscape. An exposed series of wooden angle brackets, painted in the same tone as the shutters, supports the whole structure. The underside of the roof is made of wooden boards. Its broad overhangs shelter elevations of beige stone and underline the edifice’s horizontal form. The house stands upon a semibasement. Above this semibasement, there is a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. The home offers a total floor area of around 300m². The ground floor includes a kitchen, an office and a lounge with a dining room. The first floor has three bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room. There is also a separate bathroom with a lavatory. The roof space was renovated to create a large dormitory with an open bathroom. Beside the house, there is a stone outbuilding with a floor area of around 150m². It houses a garage and two small apartments to be renovated. The two buildings lie in an extensive fenced garden with a swimming pool. This pool, which is 13 metres long and 4 metres wide, faces the River Garonne.
