Stone Townhouse with Courtyard Garden in Centre

Property Description

Tucked away in the medieval heart of the lively town of Pézenas, this stone house is a genuine pocket of calm just steps from the pedestrian streets. It comes with something rarely found so close to the centre: a tree-lined courtyard garden of nearly 200 m². The house itself offers a generous living space, with two bedrooms in the main part of the property and the possibility to create a self-contained flat on the ground floor. The roof has recently been refurbished, but the rest of the house needs modernisation and some renovation, leaving plenty of room to shape it to your own taste. Few properties in this sought-after town come with this much outdoor space. Whether as a main residence, a second home or an investment, this is a chance worth taking seriously.

Pézenas itself is one of the most characterful towns in the Hérault, known for its antique shops, theatre heritage and weekly market, with Béziers and the coast both within easy reach.

Property Layout

Ground floor: A utility room with a sink has its own separate access from the street, ideal for independent use. Next to it, an en-suite bedroom opens onto a bathroom (shower, washbasin, WC), offering the potential for a self-contained flat. First floor: The living room has a stone fireplace and direct access to a terrace overlooking the courtyard garden below. An unfitted kitchen gives access to a separate WC with a washbasin. Second floor: A small hallway leads to two further bedrooms, both giving access to a shared bathroom (bath, bidet, WC, washbasin). Exterior: The standout feature of this property is its courtyard and garden, shaded by mature trees and offering close to 200 m² of outdoor space right in the town centre, a rare combination this close to the pedestrian streets. Extras: Town gas central heating, two reversible air-conditioning units, single glazing throughout.

Location

Pézenas is home to around 10,000 people and is hugely popular with holiday makers and second home owners. Known as Molière's Town, it sits at the beginning of picturesque rolling countryside that leads up to the Montagne Noire further north. Pézenas is a local centre for antiques and arts and crafts- with two giant antiques and brocante fairs per year- and plays host to some of the region's finest restaurants. The town's weekly Saturday morning market is also a huge draw.
