You reach the property from the village’s main road. The traditional architecture of this village is harmonious. The house is set back. Trees of different varieties give it privacy. From the entrance gate, you can admire the 2,500m² enclosed garden that extends around the dwelling with its soft tones and perfect symmetry. The edifice is coated with ochre rendering, except on its base, which is left exposed. The facade is punctuated with balustrades and window and door surrounds of red brickwork. The new roofing of red tiles, in harmony with the house’s warm hues, completes the aesthetic balance of this remarkable building. A large entrance hall leads straight to a lounge and to a dining area with an open-plan kitchen. A pantry adjoins this kitchen. This pantry serves as a utility room too. The hallway also connects to a spacious office, which could be turned into a bedroom. A lavatory and an elegant Italian-style bathroom completes the ground floor. From the dining room, French windows lead out onto a 35m² terrace, which forms an extension of the room. On the first floor, there are three large bedrooms filled with natural light and a cosy lounge that could be turned into a fourth bedroom. There is also a lavatory and two shower rooms up here. The second floor takes up the rest of the dwelling. It is a high-ceilinged roof space with a 120m² floor area. This vast space, which has been marvellously renovated and insulated, is versatile, offering a wide range of possibilities. The whole home includes tasteful, colourful decoration and beautiful finishes. It invites you to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle here.

The house

A splendid double door of three finely crafted panels beneath a fanlight of small panes heralds a level of elegance that you find in each room inside. A spacious entrance hall with a well-preserved mosaic floor connects to the different rooms smoothly. A marble staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade has an intermediate landing where a stained-glass window casts light of different colours. There is a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. All these floors are comfortable and elegant. Their hosting capacity is considerable.

The garden-level floor
Two extensive rooms face each other across the hallway. They are filled with natural light from four large windows that look out at the tree-dotted garden. Wood strip flooring gives the rooms a warm atmosphere. On the left, a door painted in an indigo tone – the dominant hue of the interior doors and their frames – leads into a lounge with a marble fireplace that bears the year when it was made and the name of its first owner, a former mayor of the village. On the right, there is an office, which could serve as a guest bedroom and could be converted into a ground-floor suite as it is roomy and lies beside a bathroom. At the end of the hallway, a glazed double door with motifs that correspond to that of the entrance fanlight opposite it leads to a kitchen with a dining area and large windows that look out at the garden beside it. A pantry adjoins this kitchen and serves as a utility room. A first corridor with a floor of terracotta tiles extends at a right angle to the hallway and leads to a lavatory. A second corridor leads to a bathroom, a side entrance door and the cellar.

The basement
The cellar lies beneath the staircase. It was recently renovated and cleaned up with an effective draining system.

The first floor
The staircase leads up to a landing of wood strip flooring that is brought out by the deep blue of the painted doors, arranged around this landing. Two of these doors are rounded. On the left, there is a first bedroom. It is well preserved and characterful with exposed stonework and brickwork. It lies beside a shower room with sky-blue tiling that goes well with its pale wood-strip flooring. The second bedroom has a black marble fireplace that is brought out by raspberry paintwork above it. This raspberry tone reflects a painted arch opposite it, above the bed. The rest of the bedroom’s walls are pale. There is a third room: a cosy lounge with exposed joists. It has an alcove where a bed could be placed. Indeed, this lounge could be turned into a third bedroom. In the fourth room on this first floor, the space is divided into a bedroom, a walk-in shower and a changing room. Behind the last door, a corridor leads to a lavatory and a midnight-blue staircase that takes you up to the second floor.

The second floor
The second floor used to be a loft. It has since been renovated masterfully and it is well insulated. This top floor is now a versatile open space. It is bathed in natural light from roof windows that offer views of the Pyrenees mountain range. The roof frame is exposed in this high-ceilinged room that could be given a range of purposes.
