House for sale
Tourouzelle, Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Full Description
Impressive partly renovated large village house, offering approximately 250m² of habitable space, with 2 salons, 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a large garage, located in a pretty square in the centre of a Minervois village.
The house has been partly renovated by the current owners and boasts complete plumbing and rewiring, a newly installed town gas fired central heating system and 4 new bathrooms. All renovations have been undertaken sympathetically to maximize modern comforts without detracting from the original character and proportions of the building and preserving the many period features found throughout, such as the molded architraves, encaustic tiles and marble fireplaces.
On the ground floor, an original front door opens onto a glazed vestibule, which in turn opens onto a large through hallway, with another original door at the other end, which opens onto a pedestrianized walkway (soon to be completed by the commune). On either side of the hallway to the front of the house, there are two good sized salons. The main salon has a beautiful fireplace, and an alcove currently used as an office. The rooms to the back of the house comprise a kitchen on one side and a dining room on the other. There is also a shower room on this floor.
An original curved stone staircase in the middle of the hallway leads to the next floor where there are 4 bedrooms (2 with ensuites), a family bathroom and a cosy library overlooking the floor below. The whole floor is bathed in sunlight from both ends of the house and the high ceilings add to the feeling of light and space.
On the top floor, a large attic space of almost 100m² is ready for development, with windows already installed and a recently renewed roof. The garage is around 42m² and is currently arranged as a shaded seating area that opens onto the square, and a boiler room to the back.
This interesting property offers various possibilities either as a large family home or as a boutique bed & breakfast business. Most of the major works have already been undertaken and only a new kitchen and decorative works are required to finish this exciting project to a prospective purchaser tastes and needs.
