The properly is a lovely family home or holiday home but would also be a perfect B&B or gite (investment). The B&B in the village closed 7 years ago due to bereavement, leaving scope for a new establishment catering to tourists and skiers in the region.
The accommodation is as follows
GROUND FLOOR
ThIs light and airy level includes a large open-plan salon and kitchen, a laundry room/pantry, a cloakroom, and a WC. At the rear of the home are two double-glazed doors that lead to the outdoor courtyard. Two climitisation units have been installed for heating, cooling, and dehumidification.
Vestibule Entrance (3.2 m2)
You enter the home through double front doors that lead into an enclosed vestibule with Pyrenean marble floors. A second set of double-glazed doors serves as a climate barrier and entrance into the main home. It houses a centralized tableau for all electrical, satellite/cable television, and CAT-5 ethernet functions.
Large Open-Plan Salon and Kitchen (41.5 m2)
The ground floor offers a large open-plan salon and gourmet kitchen. New ceramic tile (2021) has been installed, but the original historic Pyrenean marble path has been retained. The salon has been fitted with an environmentally green pellet stove insert in the original fireplace. The room is accented by floor-to-ceiling original cabinetry with ornamental plaster reliefs and neoclassical details. Three ornamental plaster faces peer down from above the fireplace (we think the likenesses of the family who originally built the home!). The salon is lit by a large chandelier hung from a ceiling rose above.
The kitchen was designed in 2021 with an enormous French oak centre island housing a copper sink, dishwasher, microwave, and plenty of drawers fitted with custom storage. Above the centre island are two crystal and copper light fixtures that anchor the room.
The kitchen includes an ardoise gray 110cm Falcon Elise (made by Rangemaster) double oven with separate broiler and warming drawer with an induction cooktop (4,900 euros), a fitted exhaust system, and an American-style side-by-side refrigerator. The original working wood burning fireplace serves as a beautiful backdrop for the kitchen. The kitchen is wired for satellite/cable television, and CAT-5 ethernet (for television/internet).
Cloakroom (9.8 m2)
This room has new ceramic tile flooring that flows in from the salon to unify the space. It is the perfect place to store winter coats/boots, bicycles, and skis when coming in from the cold. It has a closed fireplace and a crystal chandelier.
WC (2.6 m2)
Off the cloakroom is a newly designed and installed WC with a wash basin, new tiled floor, new toilet, and an ambient wall heater.
Laundry Room/Pantry (9.4 m2)
The room has a newly installed hot water cylinder and is the plumbing hub of the home.

Courtyard (43 m2)

Master Dressing Area (2.7 m2)
Making the most of space, an old small bathroom has been renovated as a dressing area with fitted drawers, shelving, and hanging storage.
Master Bathroom (12.3 m2)
Once an old kitchen, the master bath is large and luxurious. It has a beautiful white clawfoot bathtub with chrome lion’s feet situated under ceiling-height, double-glazed windows overlooking the Garonne River, a toilet, a large walk-in rain shower, and double sinks housed in a salvaged antique sideboard that was selected to highlight the neoclassical details of the home. The bathroom is fitted with high-end chrome retro fixtures, ornate mirrors, beautiful light fixtures, and recessed ceiling lighting. A large retro ardoise gray wall heater completes the room and warm the space wonderfully.
Art Studio (13.4 m´2)
The art studio receives a lot of natural light through a large ceiling-height, double-glazed window and glass double-glazed door that leads onto an upper terrace. It has a closed fireplace with ornamental plaster details, an original cupboard, and panelling and picture rails. This room is lit by a crystal chandelier beneath a ceiling rose.
Library (18.3 m2)
The library is a beautifully sunlit room with lovely ornamental plaster details reminiscent of the neoclassical era, floor-to-ceiling original cabinetry, a closed fireplace, two ceiling-height double-glazed windows, panelling and picture rails, and a dramatic crystal chandelier.
First Floor Terrace (15.4 m2)
The sunny first floor terrace overlooks the Garonne River and the beautiful Pyrenees Mountains.
The views are unparalleled. In spring and summer, the view is verdant and lush. In Autumn, the hills and mountains are a riotous combination of oranges, reds, and yellows. In winter, there are snow-covered landscapes and dramatic mountain peaks.
A barbecue is cleverly connected to the chimney below. New lighting and electrical outlets have been installed. The fitted spiral staircase accesses the courtyard below.
SECOND FLOOR
The second floor offers a landing, office, two guest rooms, a bathroom, a WC, and attic access. With the exception of the bathroom and WC, which has newly installed ceramic tile, the flooring is newly installed 13mm French ash planks milled locally and installed by an artisan.
The three rooms on this floor are wired for satellite/cable television, and CAT-5 ethernet (for television/internet) and have climitisation for heating, cooling, and dehumidification. All rooms on the second floor benefit from added insulation and newly surfaced walls.
