Un Classique Français Manoir Avec Une Élégante Façade Symétrique

Description

Sitting on the Chemin de Saint Jacques de Compostelle, this attractive Béarnaise property has been extended into its former adjoining barn and offers light filled and spacious accommodation, plus a ground floor suite ideal for elderly relatives or passing pilgrims.

The current British owners bought this charming 18C house some nineteen years ago and gradually renovated it over a six-year period. Renovations included extending the accommodation into the adjoining barn to provide an additional reception room, study, laundry and guest cloakroom; new bespoke hardwood double glazed windows throughout; a new gas fired boiler; a new kitchen & bathrooms; the creation of a ground floor bedroom suite; the installation of a 11x5m saltwater heated swimming pool (installed in 2008) and a new septic tank (2008).

The result is a large, light filled family home offering 260m2 of accommodation to include three reception rooms; a conservatory over-looking the pool; a family kitchen, laundry, guest cloakroom plus a ground floor suite offering a living area, bedroom and shower room.

The first floor offers three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, plus the opportunity to renovate the space above the new sitting room, in the former adjoining barn. The beams have been sandblasted and provisions made to connect bathroom waste to the septic system.

Privately situated in a quiet rural spot just five minutes from the bustling market town of Maubourguet and 45 minutes from the beautiful historical city of Pau; one hour from the ski slopes of the Pyrenees and one hour from the Atlantic Coast, around Biarritz. Pau airport 45 minutes; Tarbes / Lourdes airport 25 minutes and Toulouse airport 2 hours.

Viewing is highly recommended.
