Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, La Livinière, France

A44603LHS34 - From a large covered terrace in front of the house, the entrance leads into a spacious entry hall of 18.6m². On the right is the living area of 47.5 m², which has a marble fireplace with a wood-burning insert and windows facing west and south over the gardens. A large opening leads from this room into the fully fitted kitchen of 22 m², which has lovely green/blue units and a large professional-style cooker.

On the east side of the house are the three bedrooms, two of 11.5 m² and the parental suite of 17.5 m² which has a gorgeous shower room of 7.15 m² and a large fitted wardrobe. Each bedroom has a glazed double french window, and the parental suite has two. A second smart modern shower room of 3.5m² is accessed from the entrance hall.

The house was constructed in the year 2000, and has been renovated recently: it is fully double-glazed, and has electric heaters as well as the woodburning stove, and heated towel rails in the shower rooms. It has terraces round three sides, roofed on the south and north, and open on the east side.

The former garage to the house has been extended to create an annexe/gîte with a 19.4 m² living room, 10.8 m² bedroom, kitchen of 14.66 m², 4 m² shower room, and a 5 m²mezzanine as a second sleeping space. It has its own parking area and garden, and access to the swimming pool, and the covered and open terrace area on the south (garden) side is a wonderful asset as an open-air living room of nearly 50 m² during the warmer months.

The garden is large enough to give space for many different activities. The chlorine-treated pool has sitting areas on each side and is smartly balustraded, with a gate from the annexe side. The house and garden have magnificent views as far as the Pyrenees, on a clear day.

The property is within walking distance of the shops and restaurant in the village: there is a superette, a pharmacy, and a quality restaurant that doubles as a tapas bar and has live entertainment in summer. The wine in this village is the champion of the MInervois, which is already a wonderful area for wine!

There are 7 restaurants within 5 km of the village, which is 9 km from Olonzac, the local market town, with a good selection of shops and restaurants. La Livinière is also 30 km from Carcassonne, 36 km from Narbonne, 50 km from Béziers, 54 km from the sea at Narbonne Plage, and 128 km from Spain (an hour and a half's drive).
