Midi-Pyrénées, Hautes-Pyrénées, Bonnefont, France

A31714GT65 - The original front double door from the cobblestone courtyard takes you into a wide front hall with the original oak staircase. On the left are pretty, double half-glazed period doors into the spacious, double aspect sitting room with a stone inglenook fireplace and a log burner. From here, there is a door through to a smaller room, perfect for an office/study. Then onto a large room with stone walls and a cupboard with the hot water tank.

To the right off the central entrance hall are an anteroom to the massive kitchen which has french doors out to the terrace, a utility room, a large bedroom with ensuite shower and a WC.

Up the oak staircase you find 4 very large bedrooms and a smaller 5th bedroom/office, all with original wood floors, a bathroom also with a wood floor which has a claw foot bath (needs refinishing) and vintage basin/taps, a separate small shower room and a separate WC.

There is a staircase to the attic which has full floor insulation.

OUTSIDE
Across the courtyard is an ensemble of barns/outbuildings totalling about 300m2. These comprise, 2 storage rooms right opposite the house, a large barn which serves as a garage, off of which is an area that was at one time a stable with a hayloft above and a large storeroom. On the other side of the storeroom is a large workshop downstairs and a huge space upstairs probably also used as a hay/feed loft in the past. Off the workshop is an open covered area which is used for storing wood, which at one point housed the tractor.

The garden wraps around the house, largely laid the grass with a fully fenced area off the house. Here you also find the outbuilding containing the oil tank, the boilers and a further wood store. There is direct access to the house from here.

The French doors from the kitchen lead to a raised terrace overlooking the garden at the bottom of which is the Baïse river.
