Attractive stone house with scenic views of the Black Mountains in the Aude

Attractive stone village house for sale in a picturesque Montagne Noire village, offering approximately 289m² of habitable space comprising 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with spacious terraces, a garden large enough to take a pool and a garage, majestically positioned on a plot of 873m² to offer the most breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

Nestling in verdant surrounding, the property is accessed via a small lane and through a wooden gate, leading to a Mediterranean style gravelled courtyard. The main entrance door opens onto a small entrance hall that in turn opens onto a charming rustic kitchen. Sliding glazed doors from the kitchen open onto a paved terrace, perfect as a breakfast area or just to take in the stunning views. The kitchen also opens to the dining room. Both spaces have large windows to take advantage of the incredible views over the wooded valley. Off the dining room there is a library/TV room, and a guest toilet. Glazed doors from the dining room open onto a large, partly covered decked terrace offering unobstructed views over the valley.

An original stone carved stairway from the entrance hall leads up to the first-floor landing. Off the landing is a spacious living room with a feature fireplace, a balcony and large windows offering panoramic views over the valley. In addition, there are two good sized bedrooms, a laundry room, a shower room and a toilet, on this level.

A floating wooden staircase from the living room leads to the second-floor landing, off which is the spacious master bedroom with balcony and a large walk-in wardrobe. There are 3 further bedrooms as well as a large bath/shower room and 2 separate toilets on this level.

The outdoor areas offer ample space for relaxation and entertaining guests. On the north-west side, from the partly covered deck, there are wooden steps that take you down to an unspoilt flat garden, which is spacious enough to take a pool (subject to usual planning considerations). In addition to this flat garden, there are 2 more garden areas. On the south side of the house an external staircase links all three floors, all with glazed doors to each floor, and providing access to the 2 balconies, the garage and private parking space.

This light-filled home was extensively renovated in 2010, with efficient wall and roof insulation and large double-glazed windows and doors, complete with modern electrics and plumbing. With its unique blend of rustic charm and modern comforts, this property would make an idyllic family for those seeking tranquillity and a touch of nature. A one of a kind, not to be missed!
