Property Description
Located between Tarbes & Bagnères-de-Bigorre in a pretty Pyrenean village is this magnificent property for sale offering 340m² of living space with two renovated dwellings. Comprising an entrance hall, four bedrooms (of which two master suites), two spacious sitting rooms, dining room, fitted kitchen, three bathrooms, three toilets and a laundry. There is also a vehicle shelter and an old bakehouse to finish renovating. The first garden, very bucolic, has a breathtaking view of the mountains and there is space adjacent for you to create a vegetable garden, orchard or other. This property will suit a large family or other projects (gite, artists studio, yoga...). This enchanting property will be your new home in south-west France.
There are options to enter the property: via the north entrance to park your car and enter the house by the back door or at the southern end where a wooden gate opens to the pleasant garden. A few steps and you have this splendid ensemble of not one but two homes which communicate.
Opposite you is a breathtaking view which changes with the time of day and from season to season from deep greens to vivid autumnal shades and of course the brilliant white of snow topped peaks. You will fall in love with the view.
Inside, the 16m² entrance hall enjoys terracotta tile flooring, visible beams and the beautiful staircase.
To the right is the 28m², first sitting room with original stone sink, visible beams, stone walls and terra cotta tiling again. The imposing fireplace has a wood burner for cosy evenings.
Back to the entrance and to the left, a double door opens to the 28m² dining room with open fireplace. This room enjoys lots of natural light from its windows at two sides of the room. The white walls, terracotta flooring and visible beams are in harmony with each other. The dining room enjoys a small kitchen preparation area with a sink and storage but the main kitchen is found further on in this text, patience please...
Back to the entrance again and you will also find a 2m² washroom with shower, sink and toilet.
The stairs lead up to a spacious landing (12m²) which serves two bedrooms. The view from the upper floor is inspiring and worthy of a postcard feature by the tourist office to sell the region: my favourite image...
The landing serves, to the left, a 31m² master bedroom suite, surprising with its wooden flooring, stone walls, visible beams and view. It is authentic and serene.
To the right is a 24m² bedroom, enjoying lots of natural light from its two windows and with wooden flooring and fairy tale furniture...
The occupants of these two bedrooms benefit from an 8m² bathroom with sink and corner bath and finally a separate toilet.
And now to the second section of this vast home.
A corridor accessed from the dining room leads to the laundry and heating boiler room and the charming, 25m² kitchen.
Well equipped (hob, extractor fan, oven, microwave, space for a fridge), the central workspace and worktop are covered in granite for easy maintenance. The style is romantic/chic which harmonise perfectly with the terracotta flooring.
The kitchen opens to the spacious, 36m², living room. There are two doors which can close off the kitchen if necessary.
The living room is incredible and is very welcoming. Close your eyes and you can envisage a meditation room, library, music room...you complete the rest.
Upstairs are two splendid bedroom suites. The first measures 35m² and has a superb double view, both the mountains and garden will hold your attention. The wooden flooring, beams and decor invite you to relax. There is a private, 3.5m² bathroom with bath, shower and sink.
The corridor is as inviting as the rooms (stone walls, wooden flooring..).
The second bedroom, of 28m², is a family style room with a parents and child's space. The attached, 7m² bathroom will allow your guests to have a real 5-star experience.
Outside, a pretty little outbuilding of 10m² awaits in the form of the old bakehouse where previous proprietors would bake their bread. The oven needs to be renovated but the chimney is in place.
At the rear of the house there is a double vehicle shelter and a wood shelter. The garden is divided into several spaces. The first garden in front of the house is like a painting which alters with the seasons. The facade of the house is beautiful and renovated as of old. The climbing plants, hedges, Provence Cypress, rose bushes and other flowers give rhythm to the garden. The artificial lawn is excellent and requires no upkeep.
The second garden is to the rear of the house and is as leafy as the first. The third garden (1240m²) is a pasture but may also be constructed upon. It may also allow you to grow vegetables, create an orchard or indeed add a pool.
The roofs were relaid in 1999. The roof framework and walls are traditional in construction. Windows are, in the majority, double glazed with wooden shutters. A Chapee heating boiler uses gas (gas tank) and assures heating and hot water. The wood burner in the first sitting room quickly heats this 55m² space. The fireplace in the dining room is no longer used but may be restored to service.
The property is served by an individual sanitation system. The diagnostic survey will be completed and available soon.
You will be just 15 mins from all commerce and services, between Tarbes and Bagnères-de-Bigorre, 25 mins from Lourdes and it's airport, 40 mins from nearest skiing, 1h from Pau, 2h30 from Toulouse, 3h15 from Biarritz and 4h from Bordeaux.
