Property Description
This charming property beautifully epitomises the 'Néo-Béarnaise' style often found in our region. The property was designed by a local architect and built in 1982 with a clear vision to achieve a quality construction with character and period charm.
Inside, antique fireplaces and period cupboard doors were acquired from a Parisian antique dealer; terracotta tiles were selected for the ground floor and handmade picon roof tiles and a reclaimed antique entrance door completed the outside ‘look’. The property sits in 1.2 hectare of land with a large swimming pool, 4,50x12,50m, situated to the south-east side and a spacious parking area to the west side, leading to the integrated double garage.
Accommodation is provided over two floors. The ground floor offers two large reception rooms; a study; a dining kitchen opening onto the covered dining terrace; a double guest bedroom with en-suite shower room and a large utility room with steps leading down to the integrated garage, wine cellar and boiler room. The first floor offers the master bedroom with dressing area and large bathroom; a guest bedroom with en-suite shower room and two further bedrooms sharing a shower room.
The property further benefits from a newly installed (in 2019) economical aerothermic heat pump providing both hot water and heating to the majority of the building. (The first floor bedrooms have electric radiators). This clean energy source is further supplemented by three open fireplaces.
Situated just 3 minutes from the popular market town of Morlaas and 15 minutes from the centre of Pau. Communication links are also good: 1 hour from the ski slopes of the Pyrénées and one hour from the coastal resort of Biarritz and the Spanish border. Pau airport 20 minutes; Tarbes/Lourdes airport 40 minutes; Toulouse airport 90 minutes.
