Property Description
Discover this lovely trio of houses with lovely views over the surrounding countryside and towards the Pyrenees set down at the end of a private track with just a few neighbours. An architect has redesigned the inside of the main house, and this shows through the layout and the skilful use of space to create a property that flows with underfloor heating, a heat pump, triple-glazed windows and lots of light.
The other two houses are on the other side of a delightful gravelled courtyard with an arched entrance from the front. The first of the two houses, which was originally a cattle shed and has the original mangers as decoration, comprises a sitting/games room with a partially completed kitchen at the rear with a wine store and stairs unto the first floor with an en-suite shower room. No heating.
The second house is attached to the other with a gravelled courtyard in front and stone steps up to the first floor. The rustic-style kitchen is on the ground floor with a lobby and doors to the WC, a storage cupboard and the shower room. On the first floor is a salon with a wood burner, a bedroom, and stairs up to the second floor with a mezzanine. A third bedroom has a basin. At the back of the house, there are some old ruins.
On the other side of the lane is a covered carport/log store, a lovely pool with heat pump and security fencing, an orchard with a variety of fruit trees and land extending to about 1,2 ha in total.
