House for sale
Montséret, Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Full Description
Grand village house with a beautiful, exposed stone façade offering approximately 230m² of habitable space comprising 2 salons, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms as well as an independent 2-bed gite, with an enchanting private garden and pool, located directly in front of the house across a quiet street.
This elegant house is on two floors and has been renovated in an imaginative way yet conserving the character of the building, with many original features throughout. Although currently arranged as a 3-bed main residence with an attached 2-bed gite, it can be easily rearranged into one big, 5/6-bedroom family home.
One enters via an original carved wooden entrance door directly onto a spacious, open-plan living room/dining room with a central stone staircase and a remarkable ceiling with exposed beams. The entire room is well lit, with two large windows bringing in plenty of light. There is a large functioning fireplace in the living room. From the dining room, one enters a spacious kitchen, with a beautiful, vaulted ceiling. To the back of the kitchen is a shower room and a back kitchen. A second salon is accessible from the living room. Again, the room has vaulted ceilings and a wood burning stove. It also has large French windows that open out onto a side impasse. This room connects with the back kitchen and shower room.
The curved central staircase leads to 3 bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper floor. There is direct access from this part of the house to the gite, which also has a separate ground floor entrance from the street. The gite comprises an open plan living room/kitchen, a bedroom and a sunny patio on the first floor, and a mezzanine with a second bedroom and a bathroom.
The garden of almost 500m² is only 5m from the house, across a quiet street. Set behind wrought iron gates, this enchanting and verdant garden has plenty of mature fruit trees and flowering shrubs. A path from the gate leads to a decked area with an 8m x 3.5m swimming pool. Beyond the pool area, there is a patio area with an alfresco dining area, a stone barbeque, and a shaded lounge area. To the end of the garden, there is an attractive garden studio, a tool shed and the pool pump house.
This truly unique property is in good condition throughout, ready to move into and enjoy from day one. It offers charm and tranquility, be it as a large family residence, a home with income-generating potential or a holiday home. It is well located in a pretty village in the wine producing region of the Corbieres, within easy reach of several airports and Mediterranean beaches.
