Lafage, Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Rare opportunity to purchase a renovated, spacious farmhouse, in a rural setting, yet just 10 minutes from shops bars and restaurants. The beaches of the Mediterranean, ski slopes and airports are all around an hour away.

Nestled in a quiet hamlet, this deceptively spacious and versatile home offers flexible living and potential to develop further due to an acre of constructible land, which currently houses the large garage.

On entering the charming stone property, one arrives in an entrance hall with cloakroom/WC to one side and a door leading into an impressive, open plan kitchen / living /dining room, packed with oak beams exposed stone, log burning fireplace and access to the rear terrace.

An inner hall leads to a practical large pantry and boiler room, a bright bedroom with it's own WC, a shower room, a laundry and an office/atelier, currently used as an art room, with direct access to a walled garden.

The stairs lead to a beautiful first floor salon, with further log burner and plenty of charm. From here, one door leads through to two bedrooms,in their own 'wing', and another door leads to a hallway which lends itself to three further bedrooms, a shower room and a separate WC.

To the rear of the property, an enclosed, walled garden offers privacy for the benefit of a delightful covered terrace and barbecue area, which in turn leads on to an ornate, in ground swimming pool. A further wrap around terrace offers shaded and sunny spaces for aromatic plants, the sunny morning coffee area and more. The large plot of land in front of the house has a large, independent garage and the potential for animals, vegetables and fruit trees or development, due it's constructible nature.

A rare gem, renovated to a high standard and pleasantly decorated, ready to receive it's new owners to enjoy life.
