Property Description: Situated near Marciac an old village town house from the 19th century (64m2), needing some redecoration, is set in a calm spot yet right by all the amenities of an old bastide village.
South facing, this end terrace house comprises, on the ground floor, the lounge (20m2) facing south with large original wooden built in cupboards, the kitchen (12m2) also facing south with Belfast sink. There is original tiling on the floor in both rooms.
On the first floor, a wooden stairscase takes you to a landing (4m2), which leads to two bedrooms facing south (14m2 and 12m2), both rooms with original wooden flooring. The shower room with WC (4m2) is also on the first floor.
This house will benefit from interior decoration and some updating. It has style and charm, exposed beams and the rustic style could be retained. This house (with a little work) could make a cosy traditional home, perhaps for a couple or a smashing holiday home and unusually is being sold furnished.
I can recommend the lovely restaurant/bar/tabac a minutes stroll up the road which offers warm local hospitality and great traditional fare, a visiting friend of mine recently commented that his steak there was "the best I've had in a long time!" The roof is tiled and the construction traditional with walls in mud and stone. Heating is electric and the production of hot water is by bottled gas. The joinery is wooden and drainage is connected to the mains of the village. The original chimney flu is in the kitchen.
Close to shops and local village amenities including schools, this property is 11 km from Marciac, 37 km to Tarbes (the TGV station and motorway) and to Auch, 60 km to Lourdes, 1 h 20 minutes to Pau (Ryanair), Spain, the ski slopes and to Toulouse, 2 h 10 to Biarritz and the Atlantic, 2 h 40 to Carcassonne and 3 h 10 to the Med.
