A Classic French Manor House with an Elegant Symmetrical Façade.

Property Description

French Character Homes is delighted to be marketing this Classic 19C Manor House with its associated barns sitting in 5,000m2 of grounds. The ensemble sits on the edge of a quiet rural village, north of the historic city of Pau, between Lembeye and Maubourguet.

This classic Manor House with its symmetrical façade, has a wealth of period features such as oak carved internal doors, oak chevron flooring, exposed beamed ceilings and a wide period staircase which rises to the full height of the house.

The room layout is appealing with the reception rooms and main bedrooms all facing south and benefiting from plenty of natural daylight. The double period entrance doors lead into the wide entrance hall with its original oak staircase leading to an equally large landing area. To the left of the entrance is the formal sitting room with a beautiful oak chevron floor, which leads into a formal dining room. To the right of the entrance is the family room, which connects into the dining kitchen and into a third reception room (which is found in the adjoining barn) and is yet to be renovated. This adjoining barn could be transformed into a two-storey guest annex or gîte.

The first floor offers four bedrooms, one of which has a newly fitted ensuite shower room, and a family bathroom. The attic offers ample head height for conversion into further habitable space, if required.

This substantial French Manor House includes three outbuildings, which could be developed into further accommodation or simply left as garaging or workshops.

Privately situated in a quiet rural village just five minutes from a bustling market town; 35 minutes from the beautiful historical city of Pau; one hour from the ski slopes of the Pyrenees and one hour from the Atlantic Coast, around Biarritz. Pau airport 35 minutes; Tarbes / Lourdes airport 25 minutes and Toulouse airport 2 hours.
