Leggett Immobilier Independent Agent, says :
5 Bedroom house and building plot on the edge of a village in the foothills of the Pyrenees near St Girons.
The traditionally french exterior of this tastefully renovated house may not appeal to everyone but once you step inside you will be captivated by the quality and style of the interior. It is currently run as a bed and breakfast business with the owners accommodation downstairs and the B&B upstairs over two floors. It could equally be a large family home with separate accommodation. To the side of the property is a building plot. Just 10 minutes from the centre of St Girons in the Ariege (09).
The downstairs apartment is self contained but stairs lead to the upper floors. There is an open plan kitchen/diner and living room. Also on this level are a bedroom, bathroom, utility room and office. There are external steps leading to the upstairs. On the first floor there is a fully fitted kitchen, dining room, sitting room (or 6th bedroom) and shower room. On the top floor there are three more bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, and a separate shower room. All the shower/bath rooms have WCs.
In the garden there are two garages. A single garage attached to the rear of the house and a detached triple garage.
There is a large plot of land at the side of the house. It is 1375m2 and permission to build has been obtained.
Ski resorts are around an hour away. There are numerous walks, sporting activities and historical sites to be found in the area. The pink city of Toulouse and the airport at Blagnac are under 1.5 hours away.
DPE : We are in the process of updating all DPE test.
Location in France
Ariege was once an independent country with a proud identity. It is located on France's southern border next to Spain and Andorra and contains vast areas of countryside unspoilt and largely unpopulated. The department is ideal for people wanting to get away from it all.
The capital of Ariege is Foix, a small town but with a lot of charm. Two rivers and one mighty rock surround the town giving it a very picturesque natural setting, and it has survived a number of attacks keeping the town's castle very active over the centuries.
The ancient capital of the area is St-Lizier, with its fascinating cathedral. The resort of Ax-les-Thermes has 75km of runs (green, blue, red and black) also a purpose built snow park for snowboarders. The resort is at 1400m, with slopes rising to 2300m. There are lots of restaurants in Ax-les-Thermes, the small town linked by a new cable car to the ski resort. There is excellent skiing, friendly people and the ski properties are half the price of the Alps! The resort is 1.25 hours drive from Toulouse airport, and is on the main rail link to Toulouse,or Paris or Barcelona .
ARiege has a vast number of huge prehistoric caves, and the D119 road bends right into the mouth of the colossal Grotte du Mas d'Azil.
There are regular flights from the UK servicing Toulouse, Carcassonne and Perpignan. Another option is to take either a P&O service from Portsmouth to Bilbao or a Brittany Ferries service from Plymouth to Santander and then travel up from Spain . Alternatively, the fast and comfortable TGV service will take you all the way to Toulouse.
The area is not hugely populated, but the local economy continues to improve and property prices are starting to rise. However, when compared to other parts of southern France they represent excellent value for money.
