Elegant 16th century townhouse located in the centre of a lively village in the Corbières offering approximately 230m² habitable space over 3 floors, comprising 8 rooms including 3 living rooms, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a large south-facing glazed conservatory/terrace with magnificent panoramic views of the Pyrenees and surrounding countryside, as well as a large cellar.

In the heart of a village renowned for its architectural heritage, a beautiful Church and its picturesque views, this property is remarkable for its original 16th century half-timbered facade. Even more remarkable is the exquisite interior! The beautifully proportioned rooms, the 18th century woodwork, the mouldings, the marble fireplaces and the enormous Toulouse brick fireplace, the large old paned windows, the high ceilings, the tomette floor tiles…

The somewhat modest entrance with an original wooden staircase leading to the upper and lower floors belies the magnificence of the rest of the house. The ground floor comprises a large living room with a beautiful marble fireplace leading to a large glazed conservatory, with unimpeded views as far as the eye can see. This conservatory could easily be converted into an open terrace, if desired. The first floor comprises the master suite: a bedroom with an ante-room, a sitting room (currently used as a treatment room), and a bathroom. The second floor offers a large bedroom with ante-room and dressing room, as well as a second bedroom (currently used as an artist’s studio) and a bathroom. Both main bedrooms and their ante room have fabulous views.

The spacious kitchen/dining room is on the lower ground floor, where there is also another living room, with a magnificent ‘Toulouse brick’ open fireplace, which can be used as a dining room or as a winter living room. In addition, there is a shower room and a large pantry on this level. The cellar is below the kitchen and is accessed via a back alley.

This exceptional residence offers character, elegance and space, and is ready to move in immediately.
