Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude, Caunes-Minervois, France

An imposing property, with an open outlook and views of the abbey, ideally positioned in the centre of this popular and thriving village. Habitable, with central heating and air-conditioning, but dated inside, the house is ready for a new owner to realise its full potential.

The front door leads to an entrance porch and tiled hallway, with a period curved staircase linking all 4 levels of this extensive property.
To the right is the bright living room, with double windows to the front and a marble fireplace. This leads to the dining room and kitchen, with open views to the back. The kitchen is fully functional but would benefit from updating.

Also on the ground floor is the large former chemists shop, currently rented for storage of medical materials, no clients, and only accessed by the pharmacist 2 or 3 times a day, which generates a good income which more than covers local taxes each year. The tenant would be happy to continue the arrangement, but will end the lease if the new owner prefers.
This room could be reintegrated into the living space and would make a fantastic double aspect sitting room.

On the first floor is a large landing, 4 bedrooms, bathroom and cloakroom.
On the second floor are 2 more bedrooms, a shower room and 2 attic rooms that could be converted to bedrooms is desired.
The front bedrooms offer a view of the abbey, and the rear rooms look out over the countryside towards the Black Mountains.

On the lower level, and leading to the rear parking area and enclosed garden, is the laundry room and WC, store room, washroom, boiler room and large double garage.

Central heating is oil-fired, with the addition of reversible air-conditioning units in the living room, kitchen, first floor landing and shop space.

Caunes-Minervois is known for its cultural and artistic life, with regular events throughout the year. There is a good range of local shops and services, and a retail park 20 minutes away at Pont Rouge. Carcassonne, with its airport and train station, is 25 minutes away.
