Reference : AF06043 Number of rooms : 4 Habitable area : 145 m² Size of land : 2 500 m² PRICE : 85 000 €   (Agency Fees Included) This property needs complete restoration. It was built in 1927 not far away from Tarbes, the cultural capital of La Bigorre a historic region of Gascony. It is close to a junction of the A64 motorway linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. There are 4 rooms (145 sq. m), a shed (52 sq. m) and a large 2,500 sq. m plot. Inside the building, among the ox-drawn ploughs, horse-drawn tools, period beds, the wine press etc. it feels like time has come to a stand still. On the ground floor there are 2 south facing rooms (50 and 36 sq. m). The attic is large enough to build 3 dormer windows. There are 2 further north facing rooms (35 and 24 sq. m). There is an east facing 52 sq. m shed/building extension. Complete restoration (including the roof) is needed. The 4 metre high traditional timber frame is a stunning piece of work. The stone walls are also a feature of the property: they are built with a motley collection of building materials including pebbles, bricks and clay. With the nearby A64 motorway this property has a lot of potential. It is an ideal place to set up a gîte (holiday rental property) or a workshop or an office. Mains water and mains electricity are available. However, a connection to the mains drainage system needs to be undertaken. This south facing barn with its 2,500 plot bounded by a hedge on three sides is located only one kilometre away from all amenities including shops and schools. The property is located 3 minutes away from the A64 motorway junction. Tarbes the cultural capital of the area (fast train connections to Paris and Bordeaux, shopping malls, bustling high street, golf course etc.) is just 8 minutes away. Lourdes is located 20 minutes away. Pau (low-cost flights to Stansted Airport and Amsterdam) is just 20 minutes away. Toulouse is only an hour and 15 minutes away. Biarritz, the Basque Country and the Atlantic Ocean are just an hour and thirty minutes away. Carcassonne and the Mediterranean sea are only a few hours away. Spain and the Pyrenean ski slopes are also virtually next door.
