Charming renovated village house with roof terrace and courtyard in busy Minervois village

Charming, well renovated village house, offering approximately 154 m² of habitable space, with an open plan living area, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and several outdoor spaces including a south facing roof top terrace, inner courtyard and small front patio, llocated on the edge of a lively medieval Minervois village.

This three-storey house has been well renovated to create a stylish light filled residence, with modern kitchens and bathrooms, while maintaining the character and charm of the original building, with particular attention to internal hand-crafted joinery, colourful encaustic tiles, and exposed stone walls.

A front patio leads to a beautiful wooden entrance door that gives onto an open hallway with a tiled staircase to the left side. To the right is a good-sized living room, including a nook for a desk/library or tv area; a glazed door and good-sized window gives onto the inner courtyard and summer kitchen. To the immediate right of the hallway, there is a fitted kitchen and dining room area.

The staircase takes you to the 1st floor landing leading to 3 good-sized bedrooms, all with plenty of light and windows. There is a shared modern bathroom with shower, large vanity unit and loo. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe/office and French doors that open onto a Juliet balcony over the courtyard. The second bedroom also has an adjacent room/office space with views down the charming old bridge road. The 3rd bedroom is also of a good size and has a window giving onto the courtyard below.

On the top floor is a large open plan lounge and kitchen, bath and shower room, and separate WC. Two skylights provide plenty of light and from here a door leads to the rooftop terrace with views of the pine forests and, on clear days, the mountains in the south.

This immaculate property offers comfort and style, whilst maintaining the character and authenticity of the building. It is a perfect ‘lock-up and go’ but would work just as well as a principal residence, located in one of the most sought-after villages in the Minervois. A rare find!
