Large, authentic village house, situated in a quiet street close to all amenities in this lively village, offering around 150m2 of habitable space, comprising 4 bedrooms, large open plan living area, undeveloped attic and courtyard garden of around 80m2.

Ground Floor: entrance to the property in via large wooden gates opening onto the courtyard garden, from which two doors open onto the large open plan living room (originally the stables) with kitchen, dining and lounge areas, high ceilings and exposed beams.

First Floor: the original wood and stone staircase leads to the first floor where there are 4 bedrooms and a brand new shower room. On the floor above, there is a large undeveloped attic with various windows already in place.

Attic: the whole attic is full height so can easily be converted into further accommodation with or without a roof terrace (subject to usual planning permissions).

The courtyard garden is constructible over the whole area so the house could be further extended or a smaller permanent structure could be built.

The property has a certain rustic charm and retains some period features such as marble fireplace and original 'tomette' flooring. It has been used as a holiday home only by the owner for many years and could do with some redecorating and updating generally to create a more permanent and inviting home.

The department of Aude is in the Languedoc-Roussillon region located in the south of France. It is surrounded by the Pyrenees-Orientales, Ariege, Tarn and Herault departments.

French property buyers look in this region due to its numerous and varied landscapes as well as the rich cultural heritage, Aude has become an ever popular destination recently due to the gastronomy of the region, as well as its many festivals and dramatic scenery.

Carcassonne is the cultural heart of the Aude department, and all through the region you will find lovely properties either to live in or to use as holiday homes. Aude is an agricultural area dominated by wine-growing in the east and the climate is that of the Mediterranean so summers are hot and dry and winters are mild and humid.

It is the perfect location if you are looking for a quiet life and to be in harmony with your surroundings.
