Elegant ‘Maison de Maitre’ in a pretty village close to Narbonne offering 440m² of habitable space, with 7 bedrooms/4 bathrooms, a fully renovated attic apartment offering 3 further bedrooms, front and side gardens and a garage, located in a dominant position on the banks of the Canal du Robine (tributary of Canal du Midi).
The property is in excellent condition with many original features including original encaustic tiles, original woodwork, cornicing and marble fireplaces. There has been extensive upgrading in the last 5 years, with the installation of new state of the art German double-glazed window throughout, insulation to the basement and second floor.
The property is set on a slope so the lower ground floor is at street level at the back of the property. To the front of the building, there is a small garden leading to the entrance door, which opens onto a vestibule. This, in turn, opens onto a spacious central hall that leads to the principal rooms, namely a salon, dining room, kitchen, office and TV room. There is also a bathroom and a back kitchen on this floor.
An impressive original stone and wrought iron staircase leads to a hallway on the next floor that opens onto a balcony at the front of the house, overlooking the Canal. There are 4 bedrooms on this floor (2 of which have canalside views), as well as 2 bathrooms. In addition, there are 2 more rooms that could be used as bedrooms or could be converted into additional bathrooms.
The attic floor has been completed renovated recently to create a 3 bedroom apartment, with open plan living room and a shower room
The lower ground floor currently comprises a garage and several storage rooms. To the side of the house is a garden, large enough for a small pool or a spa.
The location of this property could not be more perfect, with direct views over one of the prettiest stretches of the Canal. It is already set up to be run as a high end chambres d’hotes to take advantage of the tourist trade along the Canal, but equally it would make a lovely family home of generous proportions, in an idyllic setting.
