5-Bed/4-Bath House with Pool and Garden, Quarante, Aude

Property Description

This beautifully renovated village house is large, spacious, and has a wonderful atmosphere. With 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the arrangement of the rooms offer great flexibility of use.  The village of Quarante has a vibrant international community, lots of amenities and great access to Beziers, Narbonne and the beach.

The house would make a great private home, but is equally well equipped to accommodate a B&B business, as demonstrated by the current owners.  The renovation work has been completed with traditional, eco-friendly materials such as lime-plaster and lime-base breathable paint, tadelakt-style finishes in the shower and new wood granule fireplace as the main heating source.  The terrazzo floor, terracotta tiles, fireplace and some of the doors are all original and really add to the charm and atmosphere of the property.
