A small, quiet road leads from the main Pau / Tarbes road, close to the chemin Henry IV, to this large beautifully constructed dwelling. The enclosed gardens are accessed via wrought iron gates, and are planted with a variety of shrubs and trees.

The entrance to the house from the ground floor leads into an entrance hall, leading in turn to a living room facing South (55m²), with an open fireplace, two french windows opening on to the terrace leading into the garden. To the right, through a large opening, is the fully fitted kitchen (27m²), with West facing windows and a barbeque type open fire which just needs firing up. Opposite the entrance is a hallway with three fitted cupboards, serving four bedrooms (9, 12, 13 and 17m²), a wash room (3m²), a bathroom (7m²) and a wc.

There is also a laundry room (3m²) and a garage (24m²) on this level.

The staircase winds up to the mezzanine gallery (28m²) on the first floor, overlooking the living room and the entrance hall. This gallery opens to the South and on to a balcony covered by the eaves of the roof, from which you can enjoy the lovely views of the surrounding countryside, and the crest of the road of Henry IV, reputed to have carried him from the lake at Lourdes to the chateau at Pau.

A hallway, also with many cupboards, takes you to three other bedrooms (one of 15m², two of 18m²), one with an opening directly on to the balcony and an outside staircase, to the North. Another of these rooms has some lovely exposed beams giving lots of charm. There is also a dressing room (4m²) a bathroom (7m²) and a wc on this floor.

The entrance is via large metal gates, and also by a small lych gate, which leads directly to the front door. Lightly sloping, these gardens would only be enhanced by the addition of a swimming pool.
