An Exceptionally Charming 16C Water Mill Within a Short Stroll of its Market Town

Property Description

This charming former Water Mill with its origins dating back to the sixteenth century sits in its own little oasis of peace and tranquillity, and yet is within walking distance of its market town, which offer all necessary daily amenities.

The grounds are absolutely idyllic with the pretty millstream weaving its way through the front gardens and then running under the Mill or towards the spillway, which diverts any excess water to the right of the building back into the neighbouring river. There is a beautiful cascade of water from the spillway, which resonates throughout the gardens and serves as a natural habitat for local ducks.

The Watermill itself has been sympathetically renovated to preserve its period features such as its original fireplace; old stone ‘evier’ or sink; built-in period cupboards; beamed ceilings and old terracotta floors.

Accommodation is notably light and is provided over two floors with the ground floor offering an entrance hall, kitchen, two spacious reception rooms (43m2 and 36m2), two bedrooms and a shower room. The first floor offers two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, an office and a large mezzanine / TV salon (25m2) which over-looks the Salon below.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the setting and presentation of this beautiful character home !

The local market town can be reached within a short 2 minutes. The beautiful historic city of Pau can be reached within a 20 minutes drive. The ski slopes of the Pyrénées and the Spanish border can be reached in just under an hours drive and the Atlantic coast is just over an hour’s drive away.
