Country house - Hautes Pyrénées, SW France

This lovely traditional country house is set in a rural location on the edge of the pretty village of Ponsan-Soubiran, in Hautes Pyrenees, SW France.  With good access to local towns and with no close neighbours or no overlooking properties, the property provides complete privacy and mixes comfort and charm. The enclosed garden, planted with mature trees, enjoys views of the mountains and provides an ideal setting for relaxation on the outside terrace.

Presented in good general condition, but requiring some refreshment in decor, the house retains many original features, including exposed beams, tiled floors, colombage walls.  Inside the house, the main attraction is a large open plan kitchen/diner with French doors opening onto a sunny terrace, perfect for outdoor eating and entertaining.  The main entrance hall gives access to a traditional dining room and spacious, light living room.  The practical laundry area and downstairs shower room and separate WC complete the ground floor.
 
Upstairs, the generous parental bedroom suite comprises a light and spacious bedroom with separate good-sized dressing room and en suite bathroom.  A separate corridor leads to 2 further bedrooms with a large family bathroom.
 
The attic, barn and separate outbuilding offer excellent potential for further development, whether to increase the living space, create additional bedrooms or establish a gîte (subject to the necessary permissions).

With both charm and character, this would be ideal as a comfortable family residence or a lock-up-and-leave holiday home.
