Character Town House, Montreal, Aude

Property Description

Built on a hilltop, this traditional house was once the local town hall. The views are over the beautiful undulating countryside of SW France.  You can watch the hot summer sun ripening the grapes on the vines.  It is ready for immediate use as either a family, or easy to maintain holiday home.





The property facade is of random stone and red brick.  It is on a slope, with the spacious garage and garden at the back.  The solid, carved wood front door opens into a large, newly fitted kitchen with an island unit and range gas cooker.  All the kitchen appliances are included in the sale. The sitting room and dining room are at the back of the house.  They have large windows and a balcony with stunning views towards the Pyrenees.  To take full advantage of the view, the new owners might wish to enlarge the balcony.  The exposed beams, exposed stone walls and a feature fireplace give a unique charm to the whole ground floor.





On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC.  The floors are wooden and many of the walls are of exposed stone.  The stunning bathroom has double washbasins, a shower and free-standing bathtub.





At the top of the house is an unconverted attic with three small window openings.  It could easily provide additional living space.

Montréal benefits from being in a near perfect location.  The town is close to the Mediterranean coast, within easy reach of the Pyrenees Mountains for winter sports, and a close neighbour of Carcassonne, with its airport and superb modern facilities.  The walled city of Carcassonne has an excellent golf course and a fairy tale castle which inspired Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.  Whilst Montréal is not a large town, it has much to offer.  There is a café, bar, restaurant and excellent bakery.  There are no less than 3 outdoor pools, a lake and tennis courts.
