Mill Renovated in Style Loft

Property Description

Located 30 minutes east from Tarbes and 1h30 west from Toulouse, this old restored water mill on two levels offers 3 bedrooms, an open space lounge/dining/kitchen plus a wellness area with spa and a genuine little stage, a bathroom, a shower room, 2 toilets, a laundry or cloak room. In total 250m² of living space PLUS a large attic space of 77m² and a garage, on a parcel of 800 m² with a river flowing by lower down.

The dried-up millstream and the turbine are the most visible elements of its former wool spinning activity.

The interior layout embraces an industrial look with dark grey slate coloured floor, the iron spiral staircase that harmoniously blends with the authenticity of the beams and the woodwork.

At the ground floor the northern entrance hall of 24 m² outfitted with the traditional fireplace and one wall of exposed stone serves to the left : a laundry or cloak room 9 m², a room of 11 m², a separate toilet and a bathroom of 12 m² - the design of which still associates traditional and modern sounds.

From the hall to the right, one enters into the 145-m² open space lounge including a fully equipped kitchen, a wellness area with spa and wooden floor - a hymn to relaxation in every season. By walking on the other side the elevated stage of 20m² enables you to indulge in your favourite hobbies be they musical, artistic or artisanal or to receive your guests, audience or public since a second entry door is available in this western area, on the garage side.

On the top floor, you will be thrilled by the large room of 77 m², which can be adapted or converted, to your liking and the two mansard-roofed bedrooms with Velux - one of which is a master suite with shower room - on generous surfaces (26 m² and 29 m²). A small wooden stairway leads back to the hall.

Comfortable volumes, a particular stamp and reserves of value added to be further exploited in this untypical house are able inspire lodges creators or operators, artists, creative craftsmen, and even independent professions.

The tiled roof was renovated and insulated in 2019; the windows are wooden double-glazing except in the bedroom at the ground floor. Currently, the domestic hot water is electric and the water-based floor heating system as well, coupled with a wood pellet stove in the main room. It is also planned a heat recovery exchanger to be installed and connected to the chimney. There is a main drainage.

The unoverlooked crossing living room oriented north-east/ south-west on a quiet street favours zen and chic lifestyle, less than one kilometre from schools and 5 minutes from other amenities as supermarkets, railway station or hospital, and 10 minutes from the motorway A64.

Its location in the Occitanie region, at the gates of the sheltered Aure & Louron valleys and their landscape architectural and natural heritage, will enlarge your horizon: hiking trails and ski slopes (St Lary, Val Louron) are a 45 minutes' drive, one hour from Spain (Val d'Aran), Toulouse-Blagnac airport is only one hour and a quarter away, the closest Atlantic beaches are about 2 hours and the Mediterranean Sea less than 3 hours away.
