Description
The owners bought the plot and had the house built in 2013, since when it has been used as their family holiday home. They are now reluctantly selling, giving a rare opportunity to acquire a property in this enviable spot.
From the street the house is hidden behind a block wall, and it presents a modest façade to the front, complemented by mature planting and colourful shrubs, with a driveway leading to the large attached garage (55m2).
Inside the house, the entrance hall (13m2) with cloakroom, opens into the sitting room (36m2) from where you start to appreciate the position, with French windows leading out onto the terrace. This is a bright room, with an insert fireplace and tiled floors.
To the right of the sitting room you access the dining room (24m2), with air-conditioning unit, also overlooking the garden and lake, and with a covered dining terrace (18m2) to the exterior.
The kitchen (18m2) is fully fitted, with a range cooker, and a laundry area separated from the cooking area by a breakfast bar.
Also on the ground floor, and again overlooking the garden, is the master bedroom suite (26m2) with dressing room and shower room (6m2).
A wooden staircase leads to the first floor with 4 more bedrooms (13m2,14m2, 15m2 and 16m2), 2 of which have air-conditioning units. There is a large family bathroom (10m2), a second bathroom (8m2) and a separate WC.
Outside there is a 8m x 4m heated swimming pool. The control system was renewed in 2023. There is a terrace and pergola by the pool.
The fully enclosed garden slopes down to the lakeside and has uninterrupted views across the countryside to the mountains beyond. A pedestrian gate gives access to the lakeside walks.
Villalbe itself is a largely residential area around the small historic hamlet, and is well-served by public transport into the centre of Carcassonne. It is a short drive to the out-of-town retail parks and supermarkets, the motorway junction and the international airport.
All-in-all this is a great property, in move-in condition, in an idyllic location yet extremely close to all the attractions of Carcassonne.
