| | Nicky Debens, Independent Agent, says: | | A truly wonderful, detached, 5 bed family home built in 1890 by a local architect, with character and original features around every corner, located in a farming village just 9km from Boulogne sur Gesse | The warmth and friendliness of this house envelops you as soon as you cross the threshold. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with original tiled floors with access to the study and the central family dining room/kitchen with inglenook fireplace and recently installed wood burning stove. Adjacent to this room is what was formerly a bakery and is now a large pantry, complete with original brick bread oven. The sitting room boasts the original floorboards, beautiful double doors and fireplace. A generous hallway from the central dining room/kitchen leads to a second sitting room/playroom with fireplace, a cloakroom with WC and shower, access to the south facing garden and the beautiful original staircase rising to the 1st floor.
Upstairs the character and conviviality of the house continues and you are greeted by a fabulously wide landing off of which are 5 generous double bedrooms, 4 of which with original fireplaces, 1 bathroom and 1 shower room. All the bedrooms, in fact all the rooms in this house are very light thanks to the 3.5m ceilings and the large, original windows with either internal or external shutters. The stairs continue up to the attic with full head height offering yet more potential for living/sleeping accommodation.
Outside there are 2 acres of gardens with beautiful views of the Pyrenees, 2 stone terraces (one directly off the central dining room), brand new swimming pool (12x5m) and small, young orchard. There is also plenty of room to park cars both in the garage as well as outside the house and as far as outbuildings are concerned there is a workshop plus large cellars/wood stores directly beneath the house. On a practical note the house was rewired and replumbed in 2000, there is oil fired central heating with impressive modern boiler and broadband internet connection.
The area is known for its beautiful countryside of rolling hills with the stunning backdrop of the Pyrenees which are just 1 hour away as far as walking and skiing are concerned. The village is served daily by a variety of different mobile bakers, butchers and grocers and the market town of Boulogne Sur Gesse, which has all amenities, is just 9km away. Toulouse airport is just short of an hour away and Pau just under 1h30mins.
