Atypical Village House with Gite and Roof Terraces in Minervois Canalside Village

Property Description

Atypical village house, offering approximately 296m² of habitable space comprising a main house with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and a one-bed/one-bath gite, both with roof terraces, and a shared courtyard, set in a private parcel of approximately 367m² located in the heart of a Canalside village in the Minervois.

The main house has been extensively renovated to create a modern and comfortable residence, with high-end fittings, including a lift from the basement to the roof terrace, whilst the gite retains a more rustic charm. The main house and the gite are interconnected at every level via a communal entrance hall with a stairwell that opens to and connects both units at all levels. However, each unit can also be accessed independently via doors from the courtyard. There is also a basement level running through both properties which houses the heating systems and hot water storage.

In the main house, the ground floor comprises a spacious and light living room with bespoke floor-to-ceiling glazed doors, and a stylish fireplace. This room opens onto a contemporary kitchen and dining room. Both rooms have direct access onto the courtyard.

The lift is accessible from the living room and gives access to all floors of the main residence. On the first floor, there are 3 bedrooms (one with a dressing room), a study and a bathroom. The top floor comprises a additional bedroom/ second living room, and a small shower room. The room opens onto a sunny terrace, part of which is glazed and covered, offering views of the Canal, vineyards and the mountains beyond.

The gite has a living room with a large rustic fireplace and a kitchen on the ground floor, with direct access to the courtyard. On the first floor, there is a bedroom, a shower room and a laundry room. The top floor comprises an attic room with mezzanine and a large roof terrace, again with stunning views of vineyards and beyond.

Outside, the shared courtyard is ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. As the property is one of only three houses in a gated community, the outside space has an increased sense of privacy.

This interesting property is in good condition and ready to move into, either as a permanent residence or a holiday home. It offers the flexibility of a home with income generating potential, or a single multi-generational family home. Its location in a tranquil and charming village on the Canal add to its attractions.
