The nearest town is St-Girons, nine kilometres down the hill (with spectacular views of the Pyrenees on the way). The house has four double bedrooms, one triple/family bedroom, one small single and six bathrooms (three en-suite); a fully equipped kitchen; a laundry room; a 16 seater dining room; a large biblioteque with a grand piano; and a large salon with hi-fi, TV and DVD player. Free Wi-Fi. Wood burners in all 3 main rooms. Outside, there is a stunning private walled garden with ancient box hedges and incorporating a sunny terrace for breakfast or drinks, an outstanding shady lunch/dining area under the trees with views down the valley, and an 11 metre swimming pool. All set in 100 acres of rolling farmland and woods.
