Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, Quarante, France

A36355LHS34 - Close to the village centre, and with a grocery shop 20 metres away, this property has its own gated private parking area, as well as 80m² of garage space; also a walled garden where children and animals will be safe, next to the house.

The entrance hall, accessed by a veranda, leads to the south-west facing living/dining area of 30m², with decorative arches defining the two areas, and also to the kitchen, with its quality units in chestnut wood, and worktops and sink in granite; and its utility room.

The beautiful original staircase in Armissan stone with wrought-iron balusters curves up to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms, a spacious dressing room, a large bath and shower room with two hand basins and a separate WC, and two further dressing or storage areas. The central landing space has glazed double doors opening onto a balcony with balustrades, facing south-west.

The staircase continues up to the top floor, where there is an office/bedroom in the roof space, with its own en suite shower room and cupboards.

Behind the house is the extensive summer kitchen area, (40m²) with sink, worktops a very large barbecue, storage and plenty of room for guests to circulate in either open or covered space.

From the parking area, there is access to two more buildings. The gorgeous residential annexe, of 100m² on two floors, which is another party area with a small kitchen, a wine-press, plenty of space for wine-tasting, a super wine-vat wine cellar. A modern timber and metal stair leads up to the sleeping area, which has an elegant new shower room with Italian shower, and scope for quite a few guests to stay. It would also make a super gîte.

Next door is the magnificent 80m² garage, with large wooden doors, all in stone, and with steel joists on the first floor, ready to receive a first floor of the same size as the one below.

Both the main house and the annexe have reversible air conditioning, and all the windows are aluminium double-glazed, with electric roller shutters. The electrical installation has all been redone.

The village is set in beautiful countryside between the Minervois and the St Chinianais, both great wine areas! It has an epicene, a bakery, 2 butchers, a tabac/presse/épicerie, 2 hairdressing salons, a beauty salon, a bar/café/restaurant, and a pizzeria, plus another restaurant very close by. There are also a doctor and several nurses.
