Villa for sale in Ginestas, Aude, Occitanie

In a quiet cul-de-sac in this lively, sought-after village, which has a good selection of amenities, including two lovely restaurants and a wine bar, this lovely stone house with a façade covered in roses in spring is waiting for your visit!

There is a large gate to the garden, providing private parking, and a large opening to the house for three glazed doors, allowing plenty of light into the marble-floored living space. The white panelled kitchen cupboards, walls and ceiling also help make this a luminous space - the ground floor measures 63m2.

Next to the kitchen is the smart and modern shower room, and nearby, the dining area with a really pretty pellet stove; and at the other end the walls are in natural stone with lots of timber beams, creating a more rustic and cosy area in front of the open fire.

Two more windows and a partly-glazed door look out onto the terrace and garden. The terrace has two parts, a slightly raised sitting area with storage for garden equipment, and a lower area with a lush vine growing over it on a pergola. A large opening leads to the garden, with a gorgeous green area full of shrubs and plants - jasmine, pomegranate, a Judas tree, and little climbing roses, a shady sheltered bower with climbing plants, a garden shed, and the swimming pool. The roof was replaced in 2022.

Back in the house, the upper floor has timber floorboards, and off the lovely light landing, there are three spacious gorgeous bedrooms, facing east or south, with natural stone in the main bedroom, and beams in all three. The superb bathroom has a freestanding bath, an Italian-style shower, two oval washbasins, a velux, and walls all in natural stone.

The village is well-situated near supermarkets, and transport routes, and has its own bakery, café, restaurants, wine bar and village shop, post office etc. It is 16 km from Narbonne, 34 km from Béziers, 48 km from Carcassonne, 14 km from Olonzac or Lézignan-Corbières, 4 km from the supermarkets at St Marcel sur Aude, 33 km from the sea and 109 km (an hour and a quarter) from Spain.
