In the valley of the Adour, within two kilometres of a small market town with most facilities, is this large old farmhouse with impressive, attached original outbuildings and two very large, recently-constructed Dutch barns. These are used by the present owners for their agricultural enterprise but they could be dismantled if required.  Beyond the house is another, smaller barn, 12m x 5.5m, which, with the necessary permissions, could be converted to form a gite.

Accommodation: House - 300m² over two floors plus 150m² of attic space.. Buildings - 400m² + upper storey + two large modern hangers.

The property is well maintained throughout The roof of the house has been replaced quite recently and the roofs of the outbuildings are regularly serviced. There is a twin central heating system which can be run on wood or oil. A particularly attractive feature of the property is the "U"-shaped shapedcourtyard between the main house and the attached outbuildings.
