Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, Olonzac, France

A36354LHS34 - There is parking close to the house for visitors, and the panelled double front doors lead into an entry hall before opening into the light and airy living space with sitting, dining and kitchen areas. Also on the ground floor, accessed by the original natural timber panelled doors, are a utility room and WC with basin.

A charming tile and timber stair leads up to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms, one with a marble fireplace, and both with views over the mature gardens across the road; a bathroom with shower and two washbasins, and a separate shower room with WC, plus one separate WC.

The stair continues to the second floor, with sloping timber-beamed ceilings, where there are a double bedroom and two single bedrooms, plus a shower room and a pretty landing. Two bedrooms have garden views, the third a velux.

The ground floor living area of the house gives access to the 100m² courtyard garden with its 8 by 3m heated salt-water pool. This area is mostly paved for easy maintenance, but has two grape vines growing over a pergola, a virginia creeper, and an olive tree as well as other plants.

From here, one enters the garage and storage space, with the pool technical room, a total of 57m², with large timber doors to the road behind.

A separate door from the street gives access to the apartment entrance, and a modern concrete stair leads up to the loft space, open to the timber roof beams, giving a total of 78m², including a curtained sleeping area, immaculate shower room with Italian shower, the super-modern sleek white built-in kitchen with glass safety rails, and a storage room. It also has a super view of the Pyrénees, and is self-contained, so can be let out with no problem.

Both parts of the property have solar panels on the roof, and these bring in 3000€ per year. The house has town gas central heating; the loft apartment is air-conditioned, and has a good energy rating, of C and A.

Olonzac has all amenities (market, supermarket, banks, pharmacy, hairdressers, bakery, café/bars, restaurants, medical centre, florists, vets, DIY shops, etc.), also an active cultural life, with art, music, dance, theatre, visits to historical sites, canal excursions, beautiful walks and of course, wine tasting!

It is 28 km from Narbonne, 36 km from Carcassonne, 42 km from Béziers, 45 km from the beach at Narbonne Plage, and 118 km from Spain (about an hour and 20 minutes).
