Former Presbytery with Garden and Idyllic Courtyard

Property Description

A charming and welcoming former rectory, featuring a south-facing garden and an inner courtyard, located in a stunning French village.

Crossing the courtyard, the front door opens into a light-filled entrance hall. To the right lies a spacious living room, while the kitchen and dining room are located to the left. The dining room, which features a fireplace with an insert stove, provides direct access to the garden. A shower room completes the ground-floor layout.

Upstairs, a long hallway leads to three bedrooms and a bathroom with a dressing room.

The flooring is a distinctive feature: the ground floor is finished with resin, while the upper floor boasts magnificent parquet flooring. The storage space has been cleverly utilized and beautifully finished with doors and fronts reflecting the style of the era when the rectory was built: 1842.

The property benefits from a central heating system powered by wood pellets (stored in a silo with a capacity of up to 5 tonnes) and a connection to the mains drainage system. The roof was replaced in 2009.

Situated in a village on the border between the Béarn and the Basque Country, and close to the Atlantic coast, this home offers access under one hour to the seaside.

Labastide-Villefranche is a commune in the Béarn region between Biarritz on the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenean mountain range, rich in history and heritage. A brief history - founded in 1292 by Marguerite, Viscountess of Béarn, Labastide-Villefranche is a typical "bastide" (fortified town), built on a grid plan with regular streets.

Airports, motorways, and train stations are very easily accessible.
