SOLD - BÉARNAISE HOUSE FOR RENOVATION, WITH SCOPE FOR A CHAMBRE D'HÔTE IN A POPULAR VILLAGE
SOLD - A Béarnaise house in need of some renovation, which is central to a very beautiful and popular village, in the heart of the French countryside, only a short drive from both Navarrenx and Sauveterre-de-Béarn.
The house is very spacious and ready for modernisation into a stunning family home. There is enough room to create a small B&B, and enough land to the rear of the house to develop or to start a small rural business - all subject the usual planning and application processes.
The front door takes you into the central hallway with the original oak staircase and cloakroom underneath. The large study to the left is ideal for working from home and features the original stone floor.
The main double aspect reception room is the heart of this home, with lots of room for a large dining table and access to the moderate gallery kitchen. The back door leads to a patio and the delightful sunny garden.
The main staircase takes you up to the main bedroom and two smaller guest rooms and two bathrooms, one of which could be easily changed to create a master bedroom with ensuite.
Further on is the 70m2 gallery with an impressive vaulted ceiling which makes this property so special. It features a south facing balcony and a mezzanine library. It's ready to use as a fabulous family lounge, and would also be perfectly proportioned for use as small business, maybe a wellbeing, yoga or even a small dance studio.
There is extensive attic space of approximately 70m2, accessed from the mezzanine, which could be also be converted into living space.
There are three other rooms on the first floor, accessed from a staircase in the kitchen or through the main landing. This area is ideal for conversion into a small apartment, or two guest rooms and a further bathroom.
Outside, the garden has mature shrubs and trees, including English baking apple trees, which are uncommon here. There's a lawn, a well, and a patio with an in ground swimming pool. The pool needs attention to bring it up to standard, and good working order, but this will cost much less than starting from scratch. The pool equipment is housed in an outbuilding which could be reconstructed into an outdoor kitchen and bar, and would definitely create a magnificent and sunny space to chill by the pool.
There's access to the 70m2 connected barn, which has lots of space for cars and storage, which again presents an opportunity to extend the living space.
Work is needed to modernise this property, to fit the buyers style and taste. The possibilities for development are very exciting and this house presents a rare opportunity for the next new owners to enjoy French life to the full, and add value to an already impressive residence.
The Village Fleuri hosts a number of fetes, and there are regular events at the Chateau, all through the summer,
There's always plenty to do in beautiful Béarn.
