Farm for sale in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France

Nestling in a small and tranquil village just 20 minutes from Pau, this immaculate and attractive farm offers extensive accommodation, including four bedrooms and two large receptions, in the main house, plus the potential to convert at very little expense the large two garages and play room above., and sits in peaceful landscaped grounds of 2,000m², gently sloping with views of the valley below and woods on the other side.

The main aspect is to the East, and all the rooms open on to or overlook a large brickweave terrace, set up for the best in outdoor relaxation.
You enter the good sized dining room (31m² with large open fireplace and woodburner) from the terrace via french windows. To the left is a newly converted living room (41m²) with ceiling into the roof, and well lit by glass doors on to the terrace and a large velux window to the west. This room also has an open fire and woodburner. To the right of the dining room is the fitted kitchen (21m²), which leads to the ground floor hallway, off which is the brightly lit and completely tiled bathroom with corner bath and vanity unit (5m²), the stairs to the first floor, and an understairs cupboard and understairs wc. This hall leads to a utility area, as yet unexploited but which could be used to extend the kitchen (20m²) and which currently houses the central heating boiler and storage racks, and then a good sized bedroom (20m²) with en suite wc and wash hand basin. All these rooms have doors opening on to the terrace, thus this last room could be used for chambres d’hôtes?…

The wooden staircase winds up to the first floor landing and hallway (14m²). To the southern end of the hallway is a lovely large bedroom (25m²), with sloping ceilings and window to the east and velux to the west, offering bucolic views of the hill behind on which cattle, complete with bells, are grazed. On this floor there is also another bedroom in the eaves (16m²), currently used as an office, a shower room with wc (5m²), and another bedroom at the northern end (22m²).
The whole of the ground floor of the house is fully tiled, and upstairs there is parquet flooring. The décor is simple and bright, with hessian wallcovering in the hallway. Exposed beams abound throughout.
Returning to the terrace, the garage has been built at an angle to the southern end of the house. The total area of the ground floor is about 92m², as the two ‘sections’ are also built at an angle to each other. There is also a temperature controlled wine cellar below the garage, large enough to hold up to 200 bottles of fine wine. A staircase takes you to the first floor, the same size as the ground floor, which is immaculate with large windows overlooking the terrace and the gardens, and has been used as a games room. This building could very inexpensively be converted to form a separate accommodation, the ground floor surface being brickweave, the first floor being parquet.

The gardens of approximately 2,000m² are entered via an electric gate, and have been thoughtfully landscaped. The large brickweave terrace has a wooden pergola overlooking the gardens, the valley and wooded hill beyond. The well stocked gardens are planted with such as magnolia, camellia, and firs, and a rustic path leads to the pond stocked with goldfish overhung with a large willow, plus a well.
The house is of traditional and sound construction, the roof is tiled, the walls rendered. The central heating is wood fired, and there is a septic tank.

It is situated 10 minutes from all commodities, 30 minutes from the centre of Pau, and from TGV, motorway, and a golf course, 20 minutes from the airport (Ryanair), 1 hour from Biarritz (also Ryanair) and the Atlantic beach resorts, 1 hour from Spain, and from the top ski resorts, 2hrs 30mins from Toulouse (Easyjet, Flybe, BMIBaby, Aer Lingus), and 3hrs 40mins from the Mediterran
