On a clear day, it is even possible to see the observation tower on the Pic du Midi. Built in the 19th century, there is a certain grandeur about this property which was probably designed for a person of high status in the local community. The grand, ornate iron gates that lead you into the garden are further testament to this. The setting As well as a beautiful swimming pool, the surrounding gardens are simply delightful. Mature trees, beautifully tended flowerbeds, a charming little pond where frogs jump in alarm as you approach. there is even a resident hedgehog who can often been seen peeking his sweet little face out of the long grass next to the vegetable patch.

Original folding doors open into different rooms including a ‘front to back’ living room with a working fireplace. There is a dining room with south facing views, a cloakroom/boot room with access to the garden and basement and a guest WC behind the stairs Also on this floor is a charming renovated fitted kitchen with gorgeous, tiled patterned floor. It is a large and light-filled space, with hand painted wooden units, a roomy central island with basket style storage, a large range cooker with hood. First floor The current owners have put down good quality wall-to-wall carpeting in all four of the bedrooms, but the original wide wooden floorboards are still there, protected by the carpeting. On the landing, a quiet reading area is framed by flourishing plants and French doors that open onto a tiny Juliet balcony with iron railings. The floorboards here are the original wide wooden planks. There are four bedrooms on this level, two on each side of the landing. On the left-hand side there is a pretty rose-coloured bedroom with a fireplace and shower room, and opposite another twin room with a hand basin and a shower / WC. On the right-hand side of the landing, the third bedroom has a bathroom and a fireplace. The fourth bedroom is the master suite; it also has a pretty fireplace and a big bathroom with a bath and a large window.

Second floor On the landing there is an alcove with a large window, and this has been set up as a children’s reading area. The rest of the second floor is divided into one good sized bedroom and a large playroom which could also serve as a sixth bedroom.

It is surrounded by a spacious patio and there is a second raised terrace behind it which is a lovely spot to sit and watch the children play in the pool. There are wonderful vistas of the Pyrenees everywhere in the front garden, and this area is no exception. As to the gardens, this has been a labour of love for the current owners over several years. What was once a simple lawn has been developed it into a delightful, well-established haven of plants, shrubs and trees with different places to sit and find shade and sun. While the front garden offers a variety of flowerbeds, flowering bushes and attractive spots to sit and read a book, the back garden is more practical. Here, beside the many mature trees, there is a flourishing vegetable patch, a glass greenhouse and a pond. The basement of the house is also accessible from the back of the house, so all the practical activities can take place here. Outbuildings A large barn is located on one side of the house and offers lots of room for several cars, a workshop and wood storage. There is also a full upper level that has not been exploited.
