Lalanne

Situated on the outskirts of a small village 6 minutes from Boulogne sur Gesse in the Haute Pyrenees sits this charming and mostly original farmhouse. South east facing with a two acre garden to its front with fruit trees, vegetable garden and pond. A well known and popular school is a short drive away taking children of all ages through to the Baccalaureate. The main house has been renovated with a light touch so as to keep the original features if possible and there is a large barn and garage to the south west which could be extended into if required. An increasingly rare property which retains many original features and has been made comfortable without sacrificing the character. The kitchen with the original fireplace has a high performance wood burner and is still the hub of the home, the large sitting room has original walls and a recent chestnut floor with cork insulation below. The entrance hall has a wall in the original wood framed style known as 'colombage' and the original stairs, the front door has been changed to provide more light but otherwise the feel is traditional, only the tiled floor here is noticeably modern. Behind the kitchen is a downstairs cloakroom and a utility room which also houses the regularly serviced gas central heating boiler. On the first floor are two similar bedrooms with windows south east and lime finished walls, some 'colombage' walls, beams, original doors and chestnut flooring. Bedroom three to the back of the house can be accessed either from the master bedroom or from the stairway. The bathroom has a velux roof window, twin wash basins, w.c., shower and bidet. To the exterior is a large attached barn, partly enclosed and with an access from the sitting room, giving an excellent opportunity to extend the accommodation if required. It measures 9 meters by 5 meters and has a first floor which was the original hay barn. Forming an 'L' with this barn is an open barn of 10x6 meters and then an open garage of 5x6. This open garage was originally planned to be a separate cottage, it has two double glazed south east facing windows fitted and a good roof as well as provision to connect to the septic tank. The septic tank is up to current regulations. The garden which extends to the south and east is mostly flat with fruit trees and hedges as well as the original pond which receives the rainwater from the roofs as well as its own spring. There is electricity to the pond to allow the vegetable garden to be watered by pump from here. There are lovely mountain views from the orchard area to the extreme south of the garden. At over two acres it is easily large enough to build a pool on the land with plenty of garden to spare. The fenced vegetable garden is very productive.
