Pretty 3 bedroom townhouse with an attached one bedroom studio flat on the outskirts of a thriving small town in the heart of the Aude.

This house has a beautifully planted mature garden and is in a quiet cul-de-sac in a tranquil location by the river yet walking distance to all amenities including shops, supermarkets, banks, restaurants, bars, twice weekly markets, a swimming lake and of course the many events the town hosts throughout the year.

The main house has a large open planned living space and kitchen which opens out onto a cover terrace overlooking the pretty garden. There is a a garage and plenty of storage downstairs as well as a guest bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs are 2 more bedrooms and another bathroom. There is another covered terrace upstairs also for one of the bedrooms and the other has fabulous views over the dramatic hills in the distance. The only noise you can hear is birdsong and the calming flow of the river nearby.

Come out of the main house and you will find a studio flat to one side with its own entrance which could serve as either a separate living space, some welcome additional rental income or a guest apartment for friends.

The town itself is well served with 5 international airports (Beziers, Carcassonne, Toulouse, Girona, Perpignan) all within 2 hours. There is a bus route to Perpignan and Carcassonne. The Mediterranean coast is only an hour away and in the other direction you will find skiing. It is far away from the coast to not be a seasonal place and, although busy in the summer it is not unbearable. The climate is on the edge of the Mediterranean and Atlantic, enjoying hot summers and mild winters but with a green, lush and undulating landscape rather than flat and arid.
You are also in the heart of Cathar country being within easy reach of all the major Cathar tourist destinations - such as the Chateaux of Puivert, Puilaurens, Peyrepetuse and Queribus as well as the UNESCO World Heritage site of Carcassonne just 50 minutes away.
