Languedoc-Roussillon, Hérault, Margon, France

Ref. MARCUE - The charming village of Margon is an absolute favourite - it has a variety of visiting food suppliers, it's a 3 minute drive to Roujan with all of its amenities, and you can spot your home village from a few miles away as the gorgeous château rises above the vineyards and the rooftops.

This village house is lovely and recently renovated to a very high standard.

The front door - as with many authentic Languedoc properties - leads you into the kitchen. This is fully-fitted, with a walk-in pantry. It's also double-aspect; there’s lots of natural light.

On this level you find the living room. White paint walls and exposed stone accentuate the dark wood beams. It’s cool in the summer and cosy in the winter - serene and welcoming all year round.

Up the staircase and you're in the generously proportioned main bedroom. Double doors open to a Juliette balcony and a view of the gorgeous château gardens. Again the decor is cool white with an exposed stone wall.

Next to the main bedroom is a shower room with WC, wash basin and shower. Similarly decorated and very attractive.

There’s another bedroom along the corridor, it also enjoys the same airiness and light.

Above is the attic. The hard work has been done, its been fully renovated and is ready for its transformation into whatever works best for you; a 3rd bedroom, an office, a gym, or another TV/games/sitting room.

The house further benefits from being fully insulated, a water softener in the basement, electric wall radiators on the ground and first floor and a cellar or “cave” for storage.

Local amenities, access to motorways and airports - a tick in each box. Proximity to some lively towns and cities? Another tick! What’s more Montpellier, Béziers and Pezenas are all close.
