Prime village location for this unusual and lovely house, in move-in condition, offering two living areas separated by a covered verandah on the first floor. On one side, a high-ceilinged, elegant living/dining room of 32m2, kitchen and covered verandah at first floor level, perfect for summer entertaining. Descending from the living area to the ground floor, is an entrance hall with ancient flagstones, and garage. On the other side of the house, on the ground floor, a cosy living room with insert fireplace, kitchenette and adjacent storeroom. Two double bedrooms, one on the first floor with separate bathroom, and another on the second floor with ensuite, provide very comfortable accommodation.
Caunes is one of the most popular villages in the Minervois, with good reason. It is only 20 minutes from historic Carcassonne, and 1 hour from the Mediterranean coast and skiing in the Pyrenees. Read more ...
A charming village house with blue shutters, tucked away in a quiet street in the heart of the old town - ideal as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, or as a permanent home in a village with year-round activities and services.
Originally two separate buildings, the house has been beautifully renovated to a high standard by the current owner and is both comfortable and stylish, with many period features that add to the charm of the property. South-west facing, it is flooded with light in the afternoons, but the double-glazed windows, thick stone walls and wooden shutters provide protection from the heat of the summer sun.
You enter into a cosy living room with insert fireplace and kitchenette featuring the local Caunes marble worktops, and 2 steps up to a pantry area with a stone cave/storage area leading off it.
On the first floor you find a double bedroom with marble fireplace, and a bathroom fitted with walk in shower, washbasin and WC. The corridor leads on to the covered verandah. A wooden staircase leads up to the second floor, with an attractive landing, where you find the spacious master bedroom and en-suite shower room with walk-in shower, washbasin and WC.
The other half of the house is accessed from the 20m2 covered terrace/verandah that is a perfect spot for year-round enjoyment, with a view over the rooftops to the vineyards and Pyrenees on a clear day.
From the verandah, you enter the unexpectedly large living room (32m2) with an exposed stone wall, and 3.5m high ceiling, giving the feeling of airiness and space. 2 steps up to the kitchen, with traditional wooden cabinets and plenty of space for a breakfast table.
A spiral wooden staircase descends from the corner of the living room to a hallway below, from which leads the garage (a rare commodity in a village house of this type), and the second entrance hall, the oldest part of the property, with exposed stone walls and ancient flagstones dating back hundreds of years – a gem waiting to be transformed.
Caunes Minervois has a thriving social, cultural and artistic life, with galleries and exhibitions, and concerts in the renowned Dominican abbey. Amenities include shops, post office, pharmacy, doctors' surgeries and bank, as well as a regular bus service. The closest airport and train station are 30 minutes away.
Floorplans available upon request.
