La Cassaigne, Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Beautifully renovated village house situated in a peaceful location, yet just 10 minutes to shops, bars and restaurants.

This tastefully, recently renovated property offers the perfect blend of the charm of an ancient house with modern touches, and literally nothing to do.

The delightful old arched stone entranceway leads into a large, open plan breakfast kitchen with downstairs WC and access to the courtyard garden beyond, with practical double wooden doors to the street.

Double doors lead on from the kitchen to a generous, dual aspect living area with log burner and doors to the courtyard beyond.

To the first floor, there are three good sized bedrooms, one with a private shower room / WC, one with a dressing room and one with a balcony and charming view. A family bathroom with WC and separate shower complete this level.

To the second floor, there is a 4th large bedroom with private shower room and WC, access to an atelier in the loft space and separate door leading to a magnificent roof terrace offering afternoon and evening sunshine and views to the hills beyond. A practical tap ensures any flowers or tomato plants providing greenery and atmosphere can be easily watered.

A charming property just 20 minutes from Carcassonne airport, an hour from Toulouse and the Mediterranean beaches, and just over an hour to the ski slopes - a perfect year round or holiday home.
