Paraza, Aude, France

The property is a traditional village house, situated on the banks of the iconic Canal du Midi in the vibrant village of Paraza. There are 3 bedrooms and a terrace to front, perfect for watching the barges making their way slowly down the canal. There's a restaurant, bakery and grocery store within walking distance and lots of good restaurants in the local area. The property has been fully renovated with a new roof, windows, bathrooms, plumbing and electrics. The house has also been well insulated.

With this property it is important to note that is that there is a 95 year old tenant who pays 650 Euros per month in rent. She has to remain at the property until her death, or until she chooses to leave. This property would suit someone who wishes to grab themselves a bargain, have an immediate source of income and is in no rush to use the property.  This unusual situation has been reflected in the asking price, which is around 100K Euros under market value. 

There's a generous 118m2 of habitable space and the layout is as follows: 

Ground floor: 
Open plan kitchen with dining room (opening onto terrace)

First floor:
Master bedroom (currently used as a second living room) 
Bathroom with full sized bath and washer dryer

Second floor: 
Bedroom 2
Bedroom 3
Shower room

Outside: 
There's a lovely terrace and garden area to the front of the property, which is perfect for al fresco dining or simply reading a book whilst watching the world go by on the canal. 

Location: 
The house is on the banks of the canal du Midi, in the village of Paraza. It's the perfect location for exploring the local area, either on foot or by boat! In the village there are all the essential shops, including a fantastic winery located at the chateau de Paraza (which is walking distance!).
