| | Nancy Wood, Independent Agent, says: | | Rarely is this size property in such superb condition offered at this price - and it's in a lovely Minervois village! The main house is ready to move in as your principal residence or holiday home or to set up as a B+B. The rest of the property, with lots of space for a pool and development ofa few gites, will mean your investment will quickly pay off! | The house is of grand proportions with over 200m2 of living space. One enters the reception hall of more than 20m2 off which are the massive lounge (34m2), dining room (16m2) and kitchen (25m2), with its virtual "walk-in" fireplace. Walk up the grand staircase to the 1st floor where, off another large reception hall, there are 3 bedrooms, all of which have large built-in or walk-in wardrobes. Two of these bedrooms are more than 20m2, and open onto a large terrace (40m2) semi-shaded by plane trees. There is also a storeroom on the ground floor more than 40m2 which could easily be converted to more bedrooms or reception rooms:
The house has many charming character finishes, such as the fireplace, grand staircase, exposed beams, and tomette-tiled floors. Unlike many French houses, it is open and airy, thanks to its proportions. It needs no structural work at all, other than to decorate to suit one's own taste. The decoration is very tasteful even if dated, and one could easily live with it as is. Bathrooms can easily be added without rearranging rooms and walls. Additional outbuildings of 70m2 doesn't make a dent in the amount of land still available for a pool, landscaped garden, and herb garden - all watered by the property's own well.
The village community has a number of shops and restaurants/cafes where you can meet and get to know the locals. It is in the middle of the Minervois wine-growing region in the popular Languedoc region It is within 3km of the Canal du Midi and 20 minutes from the Mediteranean coast, as well as being nestled between the Pyrenees and the Montagne Noir. One is also able to make easy day trips to Spain, which is only 90 minutes away.
The area is well-serviced by Carcassonne Airport (25 minutes) with daily flights from England and Ireland or Toulouse International Airport (90 minutes). Fast-train service from Paris also arrives at Narbonne (15 minutes) twice daily.
