T ey like:
‡ T e exposed beams and wooden fl oors in the bedrooms are lovely ‡ T e pool would be a great asset, especially with us being able to swim or lounge around it with the views of the Pyrenees in the background
‡ It’s just the right size for us and for visits from our son, but with the apartment for guests. We have a distant dream of running a B&B for microlight fl yers, so the three-bedroom apartment could be a start on that
T ey dislike: ‡ Again, there is probably not enough space to land a microlight comfortably
‡ It’s quite a long way from the sea T ey like:
‡ It’s a pretty and compact home ‡ Adrian likes fi shing, so the nearby river would be ideal ‡ It’s a large plot of land, with good views ‡ T e price is very good indeed
T ey dislike: ‡ Two bedrooms will be fi ne most of the time, but maybe an extra bedroom would be useful, aſt er all? Or, we could convert the barn, but that’s a hassle we hadn’t bargained on
‡ Flying near the Pyrénées can be hazardous, because of the winds coming off the mountains
