Authentic Renovated Bourgeois House Near Pézenas

Property Description

In the heart of Alignan-du-Vent, this bourgeois house brings together period character and the comfort of a thorough renovation. What sets it apart is its sense of space: generous proportions, high ceilings and a remarkable interior architecture. A period stone staircase links the floors and opens onto two large landings, extra space that could become a library, a home office or a gallery for your art. A mezzanine, which could serve as a solarium or office, overlooks the main living areas of the house. The renovation has covered insulation, electrics, plumbing and the façade, while travertine and terracotta floors and old beams keep the original spirit intact. A pellet stove and a redesigned kitchen with pantry complete the picture. With three bedrooms and little upkeep required, it makes an easy second home or a sound investment, yet a family with two children could just as comfortably live here year-round.

Alignan-du-Vent has a café, restaurant, bakery and pharmacy, and Pézenas is just 10 minutes away. Béziers and the beach are both around 25 minutes by car.

Location
Nearby Pézenas is home to around 10,000 people and is highly popular with holiday makers and second home owners. Known as Molière's Town, it sits at the beginning of picturesque rolling countryside that leads up to the Montagne Noire further north. Pézenas is a local centre for antiques and arts and crafts- with two giant antiques and brocante fairs per year- and plays host to some of the region’s finest restaurants. The town’s weekly Saturday morning market is also a huge draw.
