Sumptuous Maison de Maître with pool and garden in popular Languedoc village

Sumptuous 3 storey residence in the centre of a popular Minervois village offering around 400m² of habitable space, with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and several additional rooms, set in a plot of over 350m² with a private and intimate walled garden and swimming pool.

Currently run as a chic bed & breakfast, the property already has 4 ensuite bedrooms that have been totally renovated, as have the public spaces such as the salon, the dining room and the reception room. The entire top floor of approximately 85m² offers room to create more bedrooms or a self-contained apartment.

The property has a stunning façade with a raised level entrance accessed via double stone staircases leading to a small entrance balcony. An original entrance door opens onto a glazed vestibule leading to a wide hallway with original tiles and marble ornamental wall fountain. The salon and reception room on either side of the hallway, face towards the front of the building, whilst the dining room and kitchen are to the back of the building, opening onto the secluded garden.

An impressive original staircase leads to a first-floor hallway which opens onto the 4 en-suite bedrooms, each with its own character. The staircase continues up to the second floor where there are a series of rooms that can either be kept in their current configuration or remodeled into more bedrooms and bathrooms or as a single, self-contained apartment.

This interesting property has been renovated with an artistic flair, conserving the many period features found throughout the house, such as the beautiful marble fireplaces in several of the rooms. It already works well as a bed & breakfast, but it would equally make a stunning private residence.
