Communal Areas

Bedrooms

The star feature of the house is the sociable open plan kitchen, living, dining room, equipped for large groups. The spacious room is packed with character as a result of the wooden beams and triple aspect windows.

A brand new Schmidt kitchen, with island, was fitted in December 2022. The large kitchen includes a full height fridge, freezer, induction hob, oven, combi microwave and oven, and dishwasher. Crockery, cutlery, glasses, oven dishes, serving bowls, utensils, a cafetière, teapot, and complimentary tea bags and ground coffee are included.

The dining table seats up to 12 guests.

The living area looks out over the terrace, and beautiful Southerly views of the Pyrenees, with large sliding doors to maximise light and the views.

For cosy winter months, there is a new wood burning stove being installed in April 2023.

The living room opens on to a large West facing terrace, with an outdoor dining area for up to twelve guests to enjoy the far reaching views of the countryside and Pyrenees, as well as stunning sunsets.

There are four bedrooms, all en-suite. These are all on the first floor, on the same level as the open plan living area.

Swimming Pool

Guests will have sole use of the 10x4m swimming pool, which is open from April to September (inclusive). The pool is South West facing and therefore lies in the sunshine for the majority of the day.

Sun loungers and parasols surround the pool to provide complete relaxation.

There is a small sheltered area within the walled pool area, with a table and chairs, and a small fridge to ensure your drinks stay cool.

The walled pool is fully enclosed, with a safety gate for access. Guests can relax in the knowledge that children will not be able to access the pool without an adult present.

Pool towels are available for guests to use.

Guests must only use the plastic cups and crockery within the walled pool area.

The chlorine pool is cleaned and maintained twice per week.

Note the pool is not currently heated and therefore temperatures may range from 18-29c.

Outdoor space


There is a fantastic South-West facing terrace where guests are likely to spend the majority of your time, given the splendid views of the countryside, Pyrenees and sunsets. The terrace is equipped with an outdoor sofa, dining table for 12 guests, parasol, and BBQ.

The house benefits from a large garden over 4000m. The garden to the front of the terrace features a lawn and beautifully landscaped planting. The rest of the garden sits to the side of our barn area, and features a large lawn perfect for games and playing, as well as a number of trees providing much needed shade during the hot summer months. The garden will be fenced in January 2023.

The garden features a fabulous covered barn area, which we plan to create outdoor shaded dining space in ready for summer 2023. There will also be a table tennis table for guests to enjoy in the barn.

You will have sole access to the whole house, gardens and pool during your stay. Guests will not have access to the storage/garage areas underneath the property.
