Laveraët, Midi-Pyrénées 32230

Charming Gascon house built on the battlements of an old chateau, benefitting from a commanding position with magnificent views over rolling countryside and the Pyrenees beyond. A pool is set into the grounds in front of the house and benefits from the magnificent veiws. The front door opens into an entrance hall with the original curved staircase and tiled floor. To the left is a study/bedroom, a bathroom, and a WC. To the right is the living room (23m²) featuring an east-facing window, exposed beams, and a stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert. This leads to the kitchen, which is fitted with modern units. From here, a door opens into the old barn, which forms an L-shape with the main house and has been converted into a comfortable dining room and office area (50m²) with large windows overlooking the garden. The main staircase from the entrance hall, leads to a landing on the upper floor, distributing to two bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, and one with a dressing room. A second staircase from the office area connects to a second landing, which leads to a bathroom and two additional bedrooms one with exposed stone walls. Large south-facing windows offer dramatic views of the mountains. The grounds extend to 2180m² and are well landscaped with mature plants and shrubs. Elegant wrought iron gates with stone pillars open onto a gravelled parking area from the lane. The retaining wall from the old battlements creates a cozy courtyard effect, with a paved terrace providing a protected and attractive area for summer dining. A second entrance leads up the rear of the property to a large attached barn 100m² which provides double garaging, laundry, large workshop and boiler room. There is also an orchard to the rear of the property. The pool was constructed in 2019 with saline treatment system, heat pump and slatted security cover. A solar shower sits on the terrace next to the pool. A handsome pool house looks out over the spectacular views and provides both shelter and useful storage.
