Beautiful Architect Designed 4 Bedroom Bearnaise Home with Heated Pool and Mountain Views

Property Description

French Character Homes is delighted to offer this beautifully presented, architect designed, béarnaise villa equipped with the latest energy efficient technology and modern comforts. Originally constructed in 1989 in the traditional Bearnaise style, with exposed beams and high celings, the property was subject to a complete and comprehensive renovation in 2009 to include; double glazing throughout, an economic heat pump heating system, vertical, wall mounted, colour-coded radiators, slimline reversible air-conditioning units, a high tech integrated wood burner, an extension to the kitchen, an in-ground, heated swimming pool and a covered, pool-side dining terrace with summer kitchen.

The property sits in the middle of its private, landscaped grounds with views extending to the Pyrenees Mountains beyond. A vehicular drive leads down to the basement level garage with steps leading to the front of the house. The entrance hall leads to the living rooms on the left; a spacious south facing sitting room, bathed in sunlight, with patio doors opening to a south facing terrace, and a spacious, well equipped kitchen with dining room and a veranda extension opening to a west facing terrace. To the right of the entrance hall can be found a generous guest bedroom, a modern shower room with plenty of storage and a separate WC.

The first floor landing provides a light open space for an office. Three further bedrooms can be found on this level; the master bedroom benefitting from floor to ceiling cupboards and a walk-in dressing area, plus access to the south facing balcony. A family bathroom, WC and a small office / guest room completes the first floor. The second floor consists of an ingeniously designed living area in the attic space, ideal for children, with a bedroom, TV room and WC with wash-hand basin. A slimline climate control unit keeps this area cool in the summer months.

A large basement, spanning the floor plan of the house is accessed from the ground floor or the garage, comprising a boiler room, laundry room, a gym and a climate controlled wine cellar. Outside, the pool-side terrace, with covered summer kitchen and dining area provides the perfect spot to enjoy the extended summers of the region.
