Well-Executed Barn Conversion, Pouzols-Minervois, Aude

Property Description

This is a beautiful conversion of a 19th century barn, providing approximately 160m² of habitable space, with 4 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a large open-plan living area. With a swimming pool and views of the surrounding countryside and vineyards, it is located at the edge of a pretty, wine-producing village with basic shops.

Handmade metal and glass front doors give access into a large open-plan living room with a further 4 glass doors and a glass wall, which gives a contemporary feel to the property and plenty of light to the living area. The 4 glass doors open onto the garden and the summer kitchen which adds to the airy feel of the whole ground floor. There is a fully fitted kitchen with island for informal dining as well as a more formal dining area. There is a ground floor shower room with a wash-hand basin and WC and also a large storeroom housing the water heater.

A contemporary metal and solid wood staircase leads to a light-filled hallway with a mezzanine floor (which could be converted into a 5th bedroom with the addition of another staircase). Off the hallway are 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a separate WC.

The intimate garden is mainly gravelled, with an inviting 8m x 4m swimming pool and mature planting around the borders. The shaded summer kitchen can be accessed from either the living room through a set of glass doors or directly from the garden.

This well executed conversion takes advantage of the basic features of the building and combines them with some clever contemporary features to create a unique home. It has been successfully let as a summer rental for a number of years, so has the potential for income generation as well. The property is being sold entirely furnished.
