Description

A42864JAV11 - In the heart of Sigean, within easy walking distance of restaurants, cafés and supermarkets, and only 14 minutes from the Mediterranean beaches, this beautifully renovated former agricultural building offers a rare and highly versatile layout: a spacious main house, a fully independent gîte with its own courtyard, and a large 58 m² garage — a true luxury in a village setting.

Renovated around 15 years ago (including a complete roof overhaul), the property is connected to mains drainage and has been thoughtfully arranged to suit a wide variety of lifestyles: a comfortable family home with guest accommodation, a multigenerational setup, or a home that generates a reliable rental income.

A unique arrival through the former stable

The entrance to both homes is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac (impasse), giving the property a surprisingly private feel. You enter the main house through the former horse stable — a spectacular 55.5 m² space that has intentionally been left in its original state. With its exposed beams, authentic stonework and rustic character, it immediately sets the tone: this is a home with history and personality.

From the stable, glass sliding doors (with curtains for privacy) lead into the gîte, while another door connects to the additional ground-floor spaces: a 22 m² room (non-aménagé), a 15 m² utility room with sink, and the 58.25 m² garage. A staircase then leads up to the main living areas.

The main house: bright volumes and outdoor living

On the first floor, a 13.5 m² hallway leads straight into the heart of the home: a generous 38.4 m² living room with an open-plan 17.6 m² kitchen, all under a striking cathedral ceiling. Large sliding glass doors open onto a sunny south-west-facing 27 m² patio — an ideal space for outdoor dining, relaxing, and enjoying the long evenings of the South of France.

The hallway also leads to:
a 5.7 m² shower room with washbasin
a separate WC (2 m²)
a 15.2 m² bedroom with built-in wardrobe (1.3 m²)
a second bedroom of 18 m² including a dressing area, and direct access to the patio via sliding glass doors

This second bedroom offers excellent potential for an en-suite bathroom, creating a beautiful master suite.

Upstairs, the second floor includes a 13.5 m² landing, a 6.4 m² sloped-ceiling room which is currently unfinished but already has a WC installed and offers the possibility to create an additional bathroom, and two further bedrooms under the eaves measuring 16 m² and 23.6 m².

Throughout the upper floors, the property benefits from a practical resin-style floor (easy to maintain and ideal for everyday living), while the living room features attractive tiled flooring.

The gîte: private, charming and income-generating

The gîte has its own entrance directly from the street, as well as the option to connect internally via the stable. On the ground floor, you’ll find a bright open-plan living space with kitchen (35 m²) and direct access to a private 50 m² south-east-facing courtyard, finished with gravel — a peaceful outdoor space perfect for morning coffee or al fresco meals.

Upstairs, the gîte offers a small landing (2.6 m²), a shower room with WC and washbasin (4.9 m²), and two bedrooms (12.9 m² and 11.9 m²).

The gîte is ideal for holiday rentals, visiting friends and family, or long-term furnished rental — a particularly strong market locally due to demand from companies housing staff. A realistic long-term rental income is around €800 per month, with higher potential for weekly holiday rentals.

The former stable and adjoining ground-floor rooms: a rare blank canvas

The former stable and the adjoining ground-floor rooms are far more than a simple entrance — they form an exceptional blank canvas with huge potential. The 55.5 m² stable itself could become a spectacular reception hall with cloakroom and wine corner, an artist’s studio, a private gallery, a gym, a playroom, or a stylish home office.

In addition, the adjoining 22 m² room and the 15 m² utility room (with sink) offer excellent potential to create a ground-floor guest suite with a bathroom, a wellness area (sauna/yoga + shower), extra storage, or a practical “mudroom” space. This unique layout gives the property a rare identity and flexibility.

Comfort & technical features

The main house is equipped with electric radiators, reversible air-conditioning in two bedrooms, and the possibility to install a wood-burning stove in the living room. The gîte features an electric radiator in the living room and reversible air-conditioning in both bedrooms.

Hot water is provided by electric boilers: one located in the main kitchen, a large boiler in a second-floor bedroom, and one in the gîte.

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.
