Property Description:
This classic Gascony farmhouse sits on its own high spot surveying miles of rolling countryside and on the horizon a beautiful vista of the Pyrénées.
Downstairs the entrance hall with lovely original staircase and terracotta tiles – on one side the kitchen/dining room with its large fireplace and on the other side the living room with lovely art deco tiled floor and marble fireplace. To the rear of the hallway part of the back barn has been renovated to house a bathroom and separate toilet. From here another door leads into the old stables, these are on two floors and could be easily renovated to enlarge the house on both floors.
Upstairs two good sized bedrooms both with views over to the mountains and surrounding countryside, and working fireplaces. The pretty staircase continues up into the attic which provides good dry storage space or perhaps could be converted.
Outside a very large open barn forms an L to the house, this would make a wonderful covered outdoor space/terrace, or (given planning permission) potential for building more living space. To the rear of the house a covered woodshed and under the large barn a cellar where in days gone by they made their own wine.
The house is typical of this region, offering at present 100 sq.m. of simple living space but with the added potential of the stables and barn for renovation. It would be true to say that the way of life that went with these houses is now passing and there are fewer and fewer available in this kind of location with this potential. Come and have a look!
