Description

This stunning equestrian property is in a peaceful countryside location. It enjoys great views of the surrounding countryside stretching to the Pyrenees. The property comprises two houses, the original house and a contemporary one, numerous outbuildings including equestrian facilities (hangar with loose boxes, tack room and indoor school) and 4.04 hectares (9.4 acres) of land. The land is in one block and includes the beautiful and lovingly maintained grounds with flowers, shrubs and trees, the outdoor school as well as wooden-fenced paddocks. There is a spring-fed pond and a well.

The main house has been recently renovated to a very high standard. The rooms are generously proportioned, there are lovely period features and very good ceiling height throughout. Of a surface area of approx. 311m, on the ground floor there is a fantastic farmhouse kitchen which is a very convivial space opening out as it does on the dining room, salon, shower room, boot room and utility room. Upstairs there are 5 bedrooms and 3 en-suite shower rooms plus a bathroom. The house has been re-roofed and is double glazed, insulated and equipped with underfloor oil-fired central heating and a pellet burner.

The second house is of contemporary build. This charming home is totally separate from the main house with its own fenced garden. Its large bay window floods the spaces with light and it has a homely atmosophere. Of a habitable surface area of 101m, on the ground floor there is an open-plan living room and fitted kitchen as well as a shower room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and another shower room. The house is fully double glazed and insulated with electric heating. Given that it is so recently built, it is in excellent order. It should be noted that the buyer’s entry into possession of this house will be delayed whilst the current owner continues to live there for a little longer. The precise terms of the arrangement are to be agreed.

The outbuildings include the garage adjoining the house, the old cowshed with its particularly remarkable hayloft, the hangar with 4 loose boxes, tack room and indoor school, as well as a stone barn for a total of 660m. The outbuildings are in good order and very well adapted to horsey use for the equestrian part, particularly with the direct access to the paddocks.

The land is in one block and totals 4ha04a46ca. It includes the gardens of the two houses, orchard with fruit trees, the outdoor schools and fields. The fields are very well organised and very well looked after with proper wooden fences. Access to the property is via a small public lane which is not a through road so there is no traffic. It should be noted that a second access will be created for the main house upon sale at the owner’s cost.
