Lovingly restored and renovated
145m2 of magical living space
Roof terrace
Panoramic views of the Pyrenees
Self contained studio apartment

On the first floor, there is a self contained studio apartment with en suite bathroom and walk-in shower.

Main house
The luminous stone spiral staircase leads to the first floor hallway where we find two large and airy double bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms (one with a Jacuzzi).

Four metre high ceilings reveal the original hand routed wooden beams and chevrons. Above each bathroom there are useful mezzanine spaces.

Off the hall, behind an original wooden door there is a half bathroom.

Up the spiral stairs with its arrow slot windows brings us into a spectacular 70 m2 living space. The eye is then drawn up into the apex of the ‘A’ frame wooden beamed roof and mezzanine area - 7m above.

This light, airy and open plan living space has the kitchen, dining area and a split level lounge. Its cool white washed stone walls and warm Pine woodwork hold several hundred years of history.

Above the split level and nestled in the roof we find the mezzanine. This second lounge and roof terrace with iron balustrade overlook the open plan living space below. From the terrace are panoramic views of the Pyrenees, Black Mountain and Corbieres ranges. . . . . . . . . Sip a glass of local wine and enjoy the sunset !

The building has been totally renovated with new fixtures and fittings throughout. It has double glazed windows, roof insulation and has been completely re wired.

This house is situated in a lively village with shops including a school, cafe/bar, supermarket and pharmacy. It is surrounded by vineyards, a few minutes from the Canal du Midi and River Aude and 10 minutes from a boating lake and various swimming or fishing spots. Thirty minutes from the beach, Carcassonne and St Chinian. 1hr to Spain and 1hr 45 to the nearest ski resort.
