Aquitaine, Landes, Aire-sur-l`Adour, France

Ref. MS1064 - An unusual and interesting proposition and a ready made business opportunity in a bustling town. The townhouse would benefit from some sympathetic upgrading to reflect 21st century standards. There is some flexibility in the use of accommodation bridging the space between the townhouse and gallery.

Set off a narrow one way street, the townhouse has a spacious and luminous layout and is small enough to be a comfortable family home. Large wrought iron gates open to provide off road parking. Double arched entrance doors with embedded studding open to a lobby with traditional floor tiling. A wooden door at the end leads through to an inner hallway with stained wood dado panels and doors to a cloakroom, the main reception room and double half glass doors with stained glass side panels to the dining kitchen. The wide stone stair with half landing has a wall of traditional columbage and another of stone.

The lounge with inlaid wooden flooring runs the full width of the house and has 2 fireplaces, windows to the front and doors opening to the garden at the rear. The American style dining kitchen has some fitted units built round electrical goods. There is a large open fireplace and 3 sets of french doors - one to the side and two to the rear. There is an under stair storage area off suitable as a pantry and wine cellar.

Upstairs the floors are original wood. There is a hallway with storage cupboard and a family bathroom with bath, over bath shower, sink, bidet and toilet. There are 4 bedrooms - 1 in each corner - some with fitted cupboards and all have large windows.
The master has fitted wardrobes along one wall, french doors out to a balcony overlooking the rear garden and an en-suite bathroom.

The stairs continue to the next level which is undeveloped attic space.

The property is very private and peaceful but not isolated. It is within easy reach of 2 market towns where a wide range of commerce and services can be accessed. In addition only 20 minutes away is the departmental capital Mont de Marsan for a wider range of cultural and sporting activities. The renowned spa village of Eugénie les Bains is 10 minutes away and its popular Michelin star restaurant.

For travelling further afield the Pyrenees mountain resorts and the Atlantic surfing beaches are within a comfortable range for day trips. Three motorway exchange stations are within kilometres, the rail network is from Mont de Marsan to Bordeaux where there is a fast TGV to Paris. The international airport at Bordeaux is 1 hour 30 away and the regional airport at Pau has 3 daily flights to Paris.
