Description

A39793FV81 - Step through the entrance gate and you will find yourself in front of a truly unique villa. Elegant and imposing, its Art Deco style is absolutely remarkable! A pure delight for the eyes with its bow windows and large openings, balconies, terraces, stone-based verandas and Genoese windows, all enhanced by beautiful trees, paths and flower beds – a real enchantment!
Push open the ornate wrought iron front door and you will discover a spacious and bright entrance hall, where the Art Deco style is very much in evidence and enhanced.
This entrance hall, with its cloakroom and WC, leads to a magnificent 33m² living room. This room is truly dazzling with its bow window, its typical chequerboard floor, its fireplace and its lighting – it has incredible charm!
Next, we discover the equally elegant kitchen, which, like everywhere else, has retained its style while adopting the necessary modernity that makes each room as functional as one could wish for. This room captures the incredible light offered by the veranda that extends it, an incredible living space with its own fireplace, an ode to light! But that's not all! This veranda also opens onto a terrace with an awning if needed, providing complete shelter and surrounded by rose bushes and flower beds, inviting you to daydream!
On this ground floor, a 16m² office also opens onto this terrace – you wouldn't believe how nice it is! This office was formerly a bedroom, which is good to know depending on your plans and needs.
A 40m² garage adjoins the kitchen. It is accessed from the street side and has an ideal exit on the garden side.
Now on to the first floor. After strolling up the staircase, which deserves a pause to admire the entrance hall, we discover a beautiful landing that is just as bright and refined with its parquet flooring. It leads to four bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room and WC.

Here we find the same configuration in terms of openings, bow windows, large windows, and an incredible room just above the entrance, a bathroom with a balcony and wrought iron door, a timeless room with undeniable charm! A separate WC completes this level.
Outside, it is pure enchantment, with paths, borders and flower beds, and space for a pond. It is magnificent.
In addition, a spiral staircase leads to a new panoramic terrace on the garage roof with a storage room at the back!

On the more technical side, the house is equipped with double-glazed tilt-and-turn windows, air-to-water heat pump heating with room-by-room programmers, recent insulation, etc.

You will easily understand that this is a rare and precious property. A haven of greenery in the heart of Castres... it's rare and sought-after! We look forward to showing it to you!

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
