Villa for sale in Carcassonne, Aude, Occitanie

This stylish property reflects the elegance of its era, with its wrought-iron balcony and wisteria-covered terrace, making the most of its south-facing position and the open views to the Corbieres.

The house has been renovated to a high standard and the accommodation is modern and comfortable, but retains its original charm. The roof was replaced in 2019, all windows and doors are double-glazed and the central heating is by pellet boiler.

A stone stairway leads to the terrace and the front door. Once inside you are in the sitting room with staircase to the first floor, and a door to the conservatory with open views.
To the left is the open-plan dining room and fully-fitted kitchen with modern units and integrated appliances. There is also a working fireplace.

Behind the kitchen is the downstairs cloakroom and a door to the garage / boiler room. To the rear of the sitting room is the games room with Jacuzzi and shower, plus a large storage area.

On the first floor there is a large landing which could easily be used as a study or sitting area, with storage cupboards.
The 3 bedrooms at the front of the house all have access to the balcony that runs across the façade. The 4th bedroom has a mezzanine sleeping area.
There is a shower room with WC, and a bathroom with shower and separate WC.
There is a large study with mezzanine, currently used as a chill-out space, and door to the attic.
This floor could be divided and some bedrooms used for a chambres d’hote activity, while maintaining privacy for the owners.
As the property is on the pilgrim route, the Chemin de Santiago de Compostella, and also close to Carcassonne, there would be demand for accommodation for visitors.

Below the house is a large space incorporating a wine-cellar, workshop and storage space. There is an attached outbuilding, with water and electricity, which could be converted into guest accommodation (subject to permission).

Outside the garden is fully enclosed with parking space, chicken run, vegetable plot, and large lawn. There are a number of mature trees and shrubs and the garden is not over-looked. There is additional parking for 2 more vehicles outside the garage.
