DESCRIPTION Castle with 14 rooms, with a living area of 380 sqm, on a large 2,000 m² lot.
Rooms Kitchen, 5 bedrooms.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Information provided in English by the seller (not translated by Babelimmo)
Ten minutes to the north of the cosmopolitan market town of Tarbes, this authentic 'Clos Bigourdan' dates from the 18th Century, and offers 380m² of accommodation, with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a heated swimming pool and 7-person spa, in good sized gardens of 2,000m².
Entering the large entrance hall, you find, to your right, the ground floor sleeping quarters: a first large bedroom (15m²), a bathroom, separate wc with wash hand basin. To the west of the hall you find the large and well laid out kitchen, (17m²), which opens on to the South facing terrace with barbecue area, and also into the living room (30m²) with fireplace.
Off the living room you find another large living room / dining room (48m²), the two areas separated by a wooden banister, offering potential to open them up to create a larger living area.
This room offers loads of charm and authenticity, with lots of beautiful exposed beams and varnished wooden panelling. An imposing inglenook fireplace with a beautiful wooden beam complements the rest of the room, and brings to mind dreams of winter evenings relaxing in the warm glow of the fire, and the door onto the South facing terrace enables you to make the most of the long summer evenings.
A magnificent tiled staircase with lovely wooden banisters takes you from the entrance hall to the first floor hallway, tiled with original 'tommettes' (local fired earth tiles) and lovely marble fireplace giving character.
Off this hallway you find a second bathroom (17m²) with wash hand basin, bath and shower, and another kitchen (13m²).
On the second floor, a landing serves the third bathroom off which is a dressing room, separate wc, a second large dressing room (13m²), and also four lovely bedrooms (one of 13m², two of 14m² and a spacious 18m²). One of the 14m² bedrooms has private washing facilities, and the largest bedroom (18m²) has a balcony.
Outside, you find a former wine press alongside the barn (old house of 200m²), forming an 'L' with the house. The enormous potential these outbuildings offer, for transformation into gites (independent self catering accommodation) or chambres d'hotes (b&b), adds yet more interest to this lovely property. The cobbled courtyard increases the cachet yet more, and Virginia creeper adorns the walls of the house.
The well planted garden of 2,000m² houses the heated swimming pool (10m x 5m), and the 7-place spa. The property also benefits from lovely electric gates, an alarm, and a well.
You will fall in love with the charm and character of this property, the sympathetic marriage of the old and the new. Just a light refreshing is needed in some of the rooms, and there is the barn wing to utilise as you wish.
South facing, the roof is slate on the house and the wine press, 'Marseillaises' tiles on the barn, the construction is traditional and sound, heating and hot water are provided by a double ballon oil fired boiler, the radiators are cast iron, and augmented by the two fireplaces, the windows are wood framed and single glazed, and there is mains drainage.
It is close to all shops, banks and schools in a small and peaceful village, 10 minutes to the north of Tarbes, 45 minutes from Pau (Ryanair, Transavia, Air France), 1hr 30mins from Biarritz and the Atlantic beach resorts, and to the south from Spain, and from the lower ski slopes, 2 hours from Toulouse (Easyjet, Flybe, Aer Lingus), and 3 hours from the Mediterranean.
