17C Maison De Maitre, Set in an Attractive Courtyard with its Original Chai & Barns

Property Description

Situated on the edge of its sleepy village, between the market towns of Oloron-Sainte-Marie and Monein, this 17C Maison de Maître forms an attractive courtyard with its adjoining barn and former winery. The ensemble sits in beautifully mature grounds of 8,370m2 with a traversing brook which divides the immediate gardens from the vegetable plot , tool shed and meadow.

The property has recently been upgraded and extended into the adjoining barn to create a new master bedroom suite with adjoining dressing room and shower room. This new suite can also be accessed independantly from a second, newly installed, staircase or via the original Bearnaise balcony.
The current owners have also changed a lot of the windows for double glazed units; insulated several ceilings; installed a new wood-pellet stove in the salon; a new kitchen and created a workshop within one of the barns with a wood -burning stove. The property now offers modern day comfort with the period charm of this 17th century Maison de Maître.

Spacious living accommodation (224m2) is provided over two floors. The ground floor offers an entrance hallway which traverses the property and opens onto the rear bridge crossing the private stream and leading to the meadow. To the left of the entrance is a salon / dining room and to the right, a living room with open plan kitchen, leading into a utility room.
The first floor offers two double ensuite bedrooms on either side of the landing and a further two bedrooms accessed both from the Béarnaise balcony, and the second staircase.
