Superb home and/or small business renovation opportunity on the banks of the Canal du Midi

Rare house with a potential of 150 to 185m2 habitable space, a large garage and 2 terrasses, in a super location right on the banks of the canal du midi. The house has four floors, three facing the canal and a fourth one on the lower ground floor facing the back street. The ground floor and 1st floor have about 75m2 each. They host the living spaces, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The top floor, presently a mezzanine accessible with a ladder, offers an additional convertible 35m2. 

The house has new double-glazed aluminium windows throughout.  The render at the front of the house is in very good condition. It has a beautiful fireplace and original cement tiles in many of the rooms.  It is structurally sound but needs significant works (electrical, heating, kitchen, bathroom, decorating…) including a new roof (recent quote for 35 000€).

After refurbishment, the results could be stunning and returns great. In a popular village by the canal, this house also presents multiple revenue potential in terms of seasonal rental (Chambre d’hôtes or Gîte) but also as a business venture (It presently has a food retailing business on the front terrace)
