| North of Maubourguet, in a prominant position, this former farm has been converted beautifully to a three bed, three bathroom chambres d'hôtes (b&b), but could equally be a lovely family home.(204m²) There is massive further scope for expansion of the living quarters into the large loft area and extensive outbuildings.(over 300m²) It sits in grounds totalling 4 800m² to the front and the rear of the house.
Wrought iron gates open into a gravelled courtyard, to the right of which is an attractive rustic car porch for two vehicles, and a lawned garden.
To side of the gates are the former piggeries and chicken house, an attractive feature, which attach in the form of an 'L' to the house via a storage room and a garage (15m²). Steps lead up to the lovely big wooden double front doors, which open into a large tiled and panelled entrance hall (with wc in the far corner) (19m²).
To the left of the entrance hall you find the enormous kitchen, (35m²) just crying out for some large oak furniture, with a big inglenook fireplace and original sink giving rustic feature to the room, together with some pretty impressive exposed ceiling beams.
Going back to the entrance hall, to your right you find the lovely sitting room, (24m²) well lit with windows to the south and east, the most beautiful wooden flooring, and a door to a study.(6m²) Large, panelled concertina doors open to what is currently used as the breakfast room for guests, (12m²) which also has a door to the entrance hall.
A fine oak staircase winds up to the first floor landing. To your right you find the first guest room, (38m²) a family room, with massive built in dark wood cupboards, lovely wooden flooring, and en-suite shower, wc and wash hand basin.
Ahead of you at the top of the stairs is the second guest room suite. (16m²) Smaller than the first, yet very attractively decorated, again with a passion for the lovely carpentry in this house. This room also has an en-suite shower room with wc and wash hand basin.
Moving along the landing, you find, to your right, a bathroom (19.5m²) (needs updating and decorating), then a dressing room with massive heavy oak fitted cupboards, (6m²) which then leads into the enormous parental bedroom, (28m²) with windows to the south and the east, and a marble fireplace.
The staircase continues to wind up to the loft space, (60m² min) which currently houses the water heater ('cumulus') for the guest bathrooms, but has loads of head room space, thus offering great potential to create further accommodation.
This house was updated in 2006 / 2007, including re-wiring, re-plumbing, re-plastering, and decoration throughout (apart from the first floor bathroom). Loving attention has been paid to the wealth of beautiful woodwork in the house, in particular the staircases and the wooden floors.
The kitchen is currently furnished with free standing units around the room, thus leaving you the opportunity to create a kitchen to your own requirements. A huge blank page !
From the kitchen, a door takes you into the former chai (wine store), (49m²) where the re-conditioned boiler lives, and which is currently used as a utility and storage area. This further leads into another, similar sized barn currently used as a workshop. (52m²) Stairs lead up from this room to the first floor of these outbuildings, which extends to the same size and a bit more of the two rooms below, thus these rooms offer enormous potential for expansion. All the woodwork, walls and roofs are in a very good state.
Attached to the back of the house, and to the side of these last two rooms, are a number of additional outbuildings (a hangar (open sided barn), a garage and workshop (38m²).
Whilst situated on a road, this lovely property could continue to be used as a chambres d'hôtes, as it is currently, or used as a family home - with the potential in the outbuildings the scope is enormous.
The property is traditionally built of local stone, with tiled roof and new double glazed windows and wooden shutters. It has the advantage of a re-furbished oil-fired boiler and all drainage is currently into a septic tank.
The property is situated north of Maubourguet, 30km from Aire-sur-l'Adour, just 20 mins from the pretty market town of Marciac, with its famous jazz festival and leisure lake, 30 mins north of Tarbes, and from the motorway and TGV station, 45 mins from Pau (Ryanair, Transavia, Air France, 1hr 45mins from Spain, and from the lower ski slopes, 2hrs 10mins from Toulouse (Easyjet, Flybe, Aer Lingus, other International flights, and in the other direction from Biarritz, and the Atlantic beach resorts, and 3 hours from the Mediterranean.
