Chalabre, Languedoc-Roussillon 11230, Francia

Rare opportunity to purchase a bright, light village house in the heart of Medieval Occitanie, amongst the rivers, mountains, vineyards and sunflowers, yet in a pretty town with cafés, bars and shops just a short walk away.

Steeped in history, Chalabre offers the ultimate French lifestyle dream. Within an hour, you can be eating raclette in the Pyrenees after a day of skiing or equally, dining on fresh shell fish with a chilled wine, watching the sunset on the Mediterranean beaches.

The Cathar Castles that run through the region make incredible days out: from Carcassonne to Montsegur, the scenery and legends will fascinate whilst you try the local dishes of cassoulet, washed down with regional wines and crémant.

Situated close to the Lac Montbel with it's year round water sports, the impressive markets of medieval Mirepoix, the country walks and cycling along the voie verte network, Chalabre is the perfect balance between rural charm and living a life to the full.

This bright, luminous town house offers deceptively spacious accommodation, Recently renovated, there are some decorative finishing touches required, but the hard work has been done: new kitchen, plumbing, electrics, double glazing and bathrooms have been done to a high standard.

The house is dual aspect and south facing. The tiled hall leads into a large living area and an inner hall, ideal for a cozy library space, study or craft space. There is a downstairs cloakroom and access to one of two cellars. The original wooden curved staircase leads upwards from here, and there are double doors through to the generously proportioned dining kitchen, with access to a root cellar to store your home made jams and pickles from market day!

To the first floor, a very generous bedroom, shower room, dressing room, second shower room and another large bedroom are to be found.

To the second floor, two further generous bedrooms and shower room. The staircase leads up to a full height attic room, which could be used for storage, converted to further living space, or for the visionaries, remove half the roof to make an incredible roof terrace (subject to planning, of course!)
