Large Detached Country House over Five Floors on 1,500 m².

Property Description

Large detached country house conveniently located on the edge of a historic small village in the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Languedoc.

This impressive, well preserved property from the late 19th century contains many period features such as ornamental mouldings, fireplaces and parquet floors. The main entrance hall still has its original tiles. It offers agreeable proportions and generous living space.
The top two floors (the ground floor at street level and the first floor) make a comfortable family home. These floors are the principal living space and are in excellent condition.

The lower two floors have significant potential for a bed breakfast activity, art studios, small business or independent apartment to let. If desired, the spacious attic could also be converted into additional rooms.

The location is quiet and the house is surrounded by its own 1,500 m² garden.

The current habitable surface is 300 m² (after renovation, the lower two floors offer another 300 m² and the attic is 169 m²).
