Historic House in the Centre with Garden

Property Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! In the centre of the historic village of Montréal Aude, this elegant three-storey character townhouse offers generous living space, authentic charm and beautiful elevated views towards the Montagne Noire (Black Mountains).

With an attractive façade and set along a quiet narrow street, the property retains many original features that reflect the character of the house. Where original materials could not be preserved, they have been thoughtfully replaced with high-quality traditional materials, including natural clay floor tiles and wooden flooring, ensuring the house maintains its authentic feel while benefiting from careful renovation.

The ground floor opens into a wide entrance hallway with a convenient guest WC. From here you enter a spacious kitchen and dining room, ideal for family living and entertaining, along with a separate study. At the rear of the house is a large and welcoming living room featuring a wood-burning stove and direct access onto an elevated terrace, large enough for a substantial dining table. Steps lead down from the terrace to a charming north-facing garden, slightly elevated and perfectly positioned to enjoy open views across the surrounding countryside towards the Black Mountains. Beneath the house there is extensive storage space and a laundry area, along with internal access to the cellar.

The first floor offers three comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The top floor comprises a large open room, currently used as a study, which could easily serve as an additional bedroom, studio or creative space.

The property benefits from mains drainage, and hot water supplied by an electric hot water tank. While most windows are currently single glazed and heating is presently provided by the wood burner, the house offers excellent potential for further comfort improvements if desired. With 187 m² of habitable space, this is a substantial village home combining charm, character and views in one of the most attractive villages of the Malepère region.

This property would appeal equally as a characterful holiday home or a permanent residence, particularly for international buyers seeking an authentic home in a vibrant historic village within easy reach of Carcassonne and the surrounding wine country
