Property Description

This 19th Century Farmhouse has been lovingly restored to offer the new owners a unique opportunity to choose their own kitchen, bathroom and layout of upstairs rooms.
The house is 1kilometre from this well-known village, popular because of its thermes and Michelin star hotel and restaurant. It is to be found at the end of a short cul- de- sac with stunning views of the Pyrenees, a vineyard and surrounding countryside.
The roof is completely new and the attractive stone exterior has been re-pointed. There are two stories, on the ground floor (100m2) entrance hall, small sitting room study/ bedroom, kitchen area, dining room and space for a large bathroom. Exposed beams and original tiles add to the warm original feel of this house.
The new staircase leads to the first floor of 70m2 again with exposed beams. This area has the possibility of 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.
The barn has been re-roofed and the interior beams are original. This has much potential for development.
