Property Description

A quintessentially charming béarnaise village property which has served as a cherished summer holiday home through generations of the same family. The property is just a short distance from the popular tourist town of Navarrenx - voted one of France's most beautiful villages.

During the 1980's the property was extended into the south east facing attached barn to provide accommodation for the whole family during the summer vacations. The property now offers approximately 260m2 of habitable space, including a kitchen, dining room and study on the ground floor of the farmhouse, with an enormous south east facing "grand salon" of 85m2 in the barn conversion, with access to the private garden. The upper floor provides 6 bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room.

The property is immensley appealing with plenty of original features; parquet flooring, open chimneys, stone walls, and is presented in good general order however, modernisation is required in terms of comfort and insulation values, should the property be used ouside of the summer months. A central heating system should be considered and the electrics will require upgrading to safety regulations. The barn conversion, however, benefits from double glazed windows throughout.

The property is located just 3kms from the pretty 14th Century fortified town of Navarrenx, a popular tourist destination with a weekly market, good local commerce, craft fairs, summer evening markets and music festivals and an excellent choice of reputable restaurants.
