Former Presbytery Transformed with a Luxurious Finish Inside and out, Featuring Walled Garden and Pool

Property Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! Everything about this former presbytery whispers luxury!

As you enter through the ancient doors, you immediately step into a wide, central hallway that reinforces the grandeur of the house. Each floor is arranged in the same way. The high ceilings lend the already large living rooms a grandeur that befits a property of this calibre. Decor has been carefully conceived to match the space, with rich materials and textured layers throughout - echoing its heritage whilst bringing it into the modern era.

In the kitchen, a Lacanche range is flanked by Italian marble worktops with their distinctive wrought iron handles, whilst a Quaker-style seating area brings people into the space to make it a welcoming farmhouse-style kitchen rather than a separate cooking space.

Through the meter-wide doorway, a more formal dining room is perfect for entertaining a large group with its impressive marble fireplace and pretty French doors opening out onto the garden. High-end features include the heated, saltwater pool with a discrete retractable pool cover. It is surrounded by luxurious travertine tiles, and there are plenty of on-trend outside seating areas to appreciate it.

If you are worried about maintaining such a pretty garden, don't. The automated watering system and Mediterranean planting ensure you can spend time on other activities.

The ground floor also boasts a stunning living room with low, perfect for wintry evenings and a stylish retreat from the summer sun. An attractive library/study and useful storage areas complete the floor.
A personal elevator provides access to the 1st and second floors as well as the lovely sweeping staircase. Electric as well as the wooden shutters make the house practical as well as attractive.

The 1st floor opens onto a central hallway with 4 large and very individualistic bedrooms. The 2nd floor boasts 4 additional bedrooms or office space and a large atelier. The bathrooms are all charming, authentic yet modern.

In a secluded back street, discreetly hidden behind high walls, the property is nonetheless within walking distance of the centre of the village.

The village is a popular destination in the Minervois with a lively bar/restaurant, easy access to Carcassonne, Narbonne and the Mediterranean - all 30 mins drive. The property is a short cycle to the nearest swimming lake and on the edge of the Minervois and Corbières national parklands. The area is popular with discerning travellers who seek to avoid the crowds elsewhere
