Talo osta in Chalabre, Occitanie

A great opportunity to move to a very pretty part of the Real South of France with this excellent and extensive property in the Western Aude. This main village house was originally two, now merged together into one impressive home which has retained much of its original character, but furthermore includes the neighbouring property which the current owners have renovated to a high standard with no expense spared, and they have been operating this as a high quality gite earning a good year round income. The main house has been used as a smaller scale Chambre d'Hotes in the past or it would make a wonderful large family home. You could choose between renting out either or both properties. The outside space in the main house is the epitome of low maintenance and includes a bar area with views towards the countryside. The top floor is ready to convert into another 3 bedrooms and a bathroom if required by the new owner (subject to necessary permissions). Whilst the neighbouring smaller house has a large terrace on the first floor off the sitting room with lovely views, and a small courtyard which extends from the ground floor room that has the ensuite WC, perfect for anyone with mobility difficulties. The outlook at the front of the houses is wonderful, looking out as it does onto a very French square with its old church, village fountain and the village is particularly well kept with an abundance of flowers in the summer season. It is also within easy reach of nearby Chalabre with its bars, restaurants, bank, cash machine and shops, and of course you can walk or cycle directly into the surrounding green countryside. The Mediterranean and skiing are both close enough to do day trips without worrying about staying over. Definitely one to view, but give yourself the time needed to do so!
