This pretty 2 bedroom village house is situated in the medieval hilltop village of Caussiniojouls, in the heart of the Languedoc wine region. The property was fully renovated in the 1980's but retains all its original charm and character and has been well maintained since. There's a patio on the ground floor and a lovely sun terrace on the first floor, perfect for al fresco dining and sun-bathing. The airport at Beziers and the Mediterranean coast are both within easy reach.

The approach to the house is through an archway and up an alleyway, accessed from the square in front of the chateau. The property was originally part of the village bakery and the original bread oven is still in tact. There's approximately 85m2 of habitable space and the layout is as follows:

Ground floor:

Fully equipped kitchen/dining room (with wood burner and access to patio) - 18m2

Sitting room with open fire - 18m2

Snug - 4m2

The property is in good condition, with the roof having been replaced a few years ago. There's electric central heating, a wood-burner and the house is on mains drainage. Although there's no private parking there are communal parking spaces very close by. There's also a large cellar (with power and lights) which is very useful for storage etc.

Location:

The house is located in the medieval hilltop village of Caussiniojouls, which sits between the Mediterranean coast to the south and the dramatic Montagnes Noires to the north. The village is surrounded by vineyards producing the delicious wines of the Faugeres appellation.

The village of Faugeres is a 6min drive. Here you'll find an excellent bakery, a butcher and a great wine bar/restaurant - Les Grands Vins du Terroir. Le Relais des Oliviers is a popular restaurant just outside Caussiniojouls. The town of Laurens (7mins) has a wider selection of shops, a big farm shop and a fine-dining restaurant called the Abbaye Sylva Plana. The closest supermarket is in Magalas, 12mins away.

There's plenty to explore in the local area. Pezenas is a beautiful historic town, known for its cobbled streets and its vibrant Saturday market. Mont Caroux and the Gorges of Heric and Colombier offer spectacular walking trails alongside excellent natural swimming spots. Roquebrun is a picturesque riverside village, perfect for swimming and a popular starting point for kayaking. For something more leisurely, the Canal du Midi near Portiragnes is ideal for hiring bikes or boats and enjoying the scenery at a relaxed pace.

The Mediterranean coast (35mins) stretches for miles with golden sandy beaches and some wonderful bars and restaurants. The cosmopolitan city of Montpellier is within easy reach, as is Beziers, with its airport and TGV station.
