Tranquilly
situated in a quiet cul de sac, but within sight of the tree-clad main
thoroughfare of a lively little market town, is this well-maintained and
attractively presented 3 bedroom cottage with a particularly appealing and
private garden of just over 200m². The current owner is a keen gardener and
the garden reflects her passion for plants. Adjacent to the house she has
created a delightful shaded terrace for outside eating.
The house is in
good order, with all mains utilities and a modern gas-fired central heating
system. Before a sale is completed the façade of the house will be
re-rendered and if a sale is agreed before the work starts, in September,
the new owners will be able to select the colour of the rendering.
The town itself
provides very good facilities, including a large supermarket, weekly
farmers' market and most levels of schooling. Twenty minutes away is the
much larger town of Tarbes which has all facilities, including an airport
-mostly charter flights - good colleges of further education and several
hospitals. A little further away is Pau a major centre offering historical
interest, excellent shopping and an international airport with regular
flights to London, Paris and Amsterdam.
