Fanjeaux, Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Set in the charming and historic village of Fanjeaux, the location could not be better. The village homes the origins of the Dominican order and the old church, market place and circulade still reflect the period and charm of this time. The village boasts some of the best views in the area, with panoramic views over both the Pyrenees and the Black Mountains. Whilst nestled in a quiet street and not overlooked, the property is just a few minutes walk to the café/bar/tabac open Tuesday-Sunday, a fabulous boulangerie/patisserie, a grocery store, a pharmacy, two restaurants and a petrol pump!

The house benefits from a garage and private garden with a swimming pool, lovely patio/barbecue area and is low maintenance. It has air pump and underfloor heating, thermodynamic hot water, is insulated in both the roof and walls, and is double glazed, making it energy and cost effective for an old house with charm.

On entering the house, the hallway leads to a fitted and equipped kitchen and through to a large reception room with doors out to the pool/terrace. An archway leads through to a second reception room again with access to the garden. An inner corridor leads to two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower and WC. There is also a large laundry / boiler room and access to the garage from this floor.

Stairs lead up to a delightful first floor reception room, currently used as a gym, but would equally lend itself to a winter sitting room, library, study or 4th bedroom. On this level, there is a master suite with bathroom (bath and shower/WC) and both these rooms open up onto a superb terrace with barbecue area, perfect for morning coffees in your pyjamas or maybe even a hot tub!

To the outside, a delightful garden showcases a private, secluded swimming pool with decking and a large patio with barbecue area.

This really is a stunning property nestled in the heart of the vineyards of the Malpere, not to be missed.
