house for sale Caunes-Minervois, Aude

This charming, light-filled house was formerly a 'maison de vigneron' where wine was made. Many character features remain, and the house benefits from the addition of large windows and French doors to create an elegant living-space which opens onto an inviting veranda and garden. The ground floor has a large open-plan living room / kitchen (54m²) with a storage area (9m²). The kitchen is modern but the quaint chimney piece and original cupboards lend it an authentic charm. At the other end of the room, a second working chimney is the centerpiece of a comfortable living area. This is a user-friendly space: light-filled and great for entertaining. French windows lead onto a terrace (43m²), perfect for long, lazy lunches. Beyond the terrace lies the lovely garden (500m²) with a lawned area and mature trees and shrubs. There is an outbuilding with a toilet, shower and laundry facilities, and a covered parking area big enough for 2 cars. On the first floor of the house are three spacious bedrooms (12.5m², 12m² and 21m²) and a modern bathroom with a shower and toilet. The house benefits from new plumbing, electrics and radiators throughout. This house provides an attractive and sociable living space, indoors and out. The environment is idyllic – an oasis of calm - and yet within 3 minutes’ walk of the centre of a charming village, close to Caunes Minervois.
