Character House Right in the Heart of a Village 298m² with 5 Bedrooms and a …

Description

In the heart of a rural village, about 3 minutes from all amenities and only 15 minutes from the popular medieval town of Mirepoix in Languedoc-Roussillon, South of France, this deceptively large house offers plenty of living space in a beautiful part of the region.  The main house has been tastefully renovated and retains much of its original character, with a stone fireplace, exposed beams and stone walls throughout. Upstairs the wooden floors, exposed beams and good sized rooms make for a wonderful family home or potential for B&B.  The restoration works have brought the main house up to standard and a second house has been renovated into a 3 bedroomed cottage, ideal for extended family stays or rental income.  There is also potential for more living space with an attic conversion.Description of the Buildings
