Charming Village House with Pyrenees Views, Generous Garden and Outbuildings

A character property offering 138 m² of living space, with two bedrooms and two reception rooms, set within 2,204 m² of grounds. Views of the Pyrenees.

Today, we find ourselves in the south of the Gers. Just ten minutes from the lively market town of Miélan, in the heart of a small village, this charming character house offers a peaceful and authentic setting. Arranged over two floors, it has an air of solidity and understated elegance, so typical of the region’s traditional country homes.

Inside, the atmosphere is simple and welcoming, true to the spirit of rural houses in the Gers: generous proportions, original materials and an easy flow from one room to another.

The entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the house, with its traditional terracotta floor tiles and exposed ceiling beams.

The sitting room is spacious and comfortable, a place to relax and unwind. Natural light pours in through the windows, highlighting the warmth of the materials and the genuine character of the house.

Traditional terracotta tiles cover the floor, while dark wooden beams stretch across the ceiling. The dining room centres around a large, solid wooden table, reassuringly substantial, as though promising long meals with friends and winter evenings spent around the fire.

An archway connects this room to the kitchen, allowing the two spaces to flow naturally into one another.

The kitchen is bright, well-appointed and practical, a room made for everyday living. French doors open onto the terrace, making it easy to move between indoors and out when the warmer weather arrives.

Upstairs

A bright landing leads to the two bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is beautifully proportioned, with a wooden ceiling and an understated fireplace. It has the quiet comfort of a room made for sleeping late on Sunday mornings.

The second bedroom has the sort of generous dimensions rarely found in contemporary houses. A wonderfully spacious room where natural light moves freely between the windows and there is space to breathe.

A large family bathroom completes this floor, with a bathtub and plenty of room.

Outside

The grounds extend gently around the front of the house. The terrace forms a natural extension of the living space, inviting you outdoors as soon as the warmer days arrive. One can easily imagine adding a swimming pool for the summer months, subject, of course, to the necessary planning permissions.

To one side, a substantial open-sided outbuilding accompanies the main house. A useful, generously proportioned space, ideal for a workshop or simply for storing the countless things one seems to accumulate when living in the countryside.

In a Few Words

This is the sort of house we love in the Gers: authentic, built to be lived in, built to last, and content to let the seasons drift gently by. There is that rare and immediate feeling of being at home.

The generous grounds also offer plenty of scope for keen gardeners and anyone with a little imagination.

At the rear of the house, a large unfinished space is still waiting to find its purpose. Currently open and full of potential, it suggests all sorts of possibilities: additional bedrooms, bathrooms, a games room? subject to the necessary planning permissions, naturally. The space is there, generous and promising.

Additional features: Electric roller shutters and reversible heat pump heating and cooling.
