Farmhouse for sale in Nay, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France

On the main square of a typical village 30 minutes South of Pau, close to Nay, this mature house from the 1900’s needs some renovation, looking out over the mountains, with habitable space of 176m² on two floors, with an enclosed courtyard of 25m².

The pillared veranda, which extends the living space over the courtyard, is very evocative of yesteryear. A wooden door leads from the square into the entrance hall, and on to a room (15m²) to the East, with a water supply, so this could either be a kitchen or a bathroom. Then there is a bedroom (20m²), overlooking the square to the South. The main entrance hall (10m²) leads to another lovely wooden door which opens on to the street. This leads to a lovely room (27m²), with a large open fireplace, with access to the enclosed courtyard of 25m² which just needs to be walled, and which benefits from a well.

With sympathetic restoration, these rooms will retain the character and style of the period.

A lovely original wooden staircase winds up to the first floor. To one side of the staircase you find two bedrooms, one with an open fireplace and windows to the East (35m²), and the other (25m²) reached be a hallway from the front to the rear, leads out on to the veranda overlooking the village square to the South.

Opposite, another bedroom (21m²) also boasts an open fireplace. Next to this, a small room (6m²) then leads to a bathroom (4m²), which also opens to a covered alley at the end of which is an outside wc, as of yesteryear.

It would be possible also to extend the accommodation in to the loft space. The lovely wooden staircase continues on up to the second floor where there is a half landing on to a small room (5m²) and the entire surface area of the building under a slate roof in the eaves which could be converted.

The roof is natural slate, the construction is traditional and sound, dating from the 1900’s, the windows are wood. Heating is from an oil fired boiler, and there is mains drainage.

The property is close to all shops, banks and schools. It faces South, and enjoys lovely views over the village and of the Pyrenees.

It is just 30 minutes from Pau (Ryanair), 35 mins from the lower ski slopes, 1hr 30mins from Spain, 45 mins from Tarbes, 1hr 40mins from Biarritz and the Atlantic beach resorts, 2hrs 15mins from Toulouse (Easyjet, Flybe, BMIBaby, Aer Lingus), and 3hrs 30mins from the Mediterranean.
