This attractive Béarnaise farmhouse and has been recently renovated creating large light and airy open plan living spaces whilst still maintaining its original features and charm.
Situated in a small village in the Pyrenees Atlantique over looking the beautiful countryside with the snow capped mountains of the Pyrenees in the distance and yet just a short drive away from the bustling market and tourist town of Aire sur l’Adour.
The town lies on the river Adour in Les Landes, a region of Southwest France, famous for its delicious foie gras and fabulous wines, it is a mixture of old and new with plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and all services and amenities.
Perched on a hill and accessed from a country lane, through black wrought iron gates and up the tarmac driveway is this charming and interesting property offering 175m2 of habitable space.
The front door leads into the entrance hallway, with access to the bathroom with bath, double wash hand basins and a separate toilet. To the rear are a small store room with built in cupboards and a staircase leading to the first floor.
To the right of the hallway is the large open plan living area with a corner kitchen and at the far end an inglenook fireplace still with the original bread oven. Charm and character are in abundance in this room and the unusual spiralling staircase is a fantastic central feature.
The first floor is a fabulous attic conversion also totally open plan creating a warm and stylish space with exposed stone walls and plenty of beams.
There is a second toilet and wash hand basin at the far end.
The property benefits from a reversible heating system providing heat in the winter months and air conditioning in the summer months.
Wooden double glazed windows have been fitted throughout and the roof is new.
Outside the property sits on approximately 8800m2 of land and being traditionally L-shaped there is a large attached outbuilding providing scope for further development.
The village although small boasts a bar/restaurant/tabac which is renowned throughout the area for its amazing food.
Pau international airport is just over 30 minutes away and on completion of the new A65 Bordeaux to Pau motorway this time will be greatly reduced making this part of the world more accessible than ever before.
With under a 2 hour drive to both the sandy beaches on the Atlantic coast and the stunning mountains of the Pyrenees this property really does have a fabulous location.
