A40858EEE30 - A characterful top-floor flat with a loft, roof terrace and garden in the Cévennes
Authentic living in a historic mining hamlet, surrounded by nature and the characteristic landscape of the South of France
In the charming hamlet of Les Brousses, near Molières-sur-Cèze, lies this unique and surprisingly spacious top-floor flat in a characteristic 19th-century stone building. The property is part of the rich industrial history of this former mining region and still exudes the atmosphere of days gone by.
At the same time, the property offers the comfort and space you would expect from a modern home. Spread over two floors, the flat features a spacious living area, a large bedroom with a comfortable bathroom, an impressive open-plan loft, a second bathroom and a private roof terrace. There is also a separate guest room, a private garden and a private parking space.
The property is therefore ideally suited as a permanent home, a second home or a holiday retreat.
You reach the property via an external staircase. Upon entering, the high ceilings, the spacious entrance hall and the characteristic wooden staircase immediately catch the eye. The authentic features blend beautifully with the spacious and light-filled living areas.
The ground floor is dominated by a spacious open-plan living area with a kitchen and dining area. The large windows provide plenty of natural light and offer stunning views over the surrounding hills of the Cévennes.
The open-plan layout creates a pleasant flow between cooking, dining and relaxing. The living room also features a cosy wood-burning stove, which provides warmth and a particularly cosy atmosphere during the cooler months.
The property also has gas-fired underfloor heating, ensuring a comfortable living environment even in winter.
A room currently used as an office leads to the spacious master bedroom. This bedroom connects directly to the bathroom.
The bathroom is generously proportioned and features a double washbasin, a bath and a walk-in shower. This space therefore offers every comfort for daily use.
This floor also features a separate toilet and practical storage space.
An open staircase from the living room leads to the second floor.
Here, beneath the roof, there is an impressive, spacious open-plan area. The original industrial steel structure has been left exposed, giving the loft a unique character that is closely linked to the building’s history.
The space offers plenty of possibilities and can be fitted out to suit your own preferences. For example, it could be converted into an extra bedroom, several bedrooms, a guest apartment, a studio, a workspace or a relaxation area.
This floor also features a second bathroom and a small kitchenette, making the loft ideal for use as a self-contained unit.
One of the property’s most appealing features is the private roof terrace measuring approximately 37 m².
You can step straight out onto the terrace from the second floor. Thanks to its location and the screening, there is plenty of privacy here. It is a lovely spot to have breakfast in the morning sun, read a book in the afternoon or enjoy long summer evenings with a glass of wine.
The terrace forms a natural extension of the living space and offers a lovely spot to fully experience the outdoor life of the Cévennes.
A short distance from the property, you also have your own garden of approximately 211 m².
The garden has a mature, Mediterranean feel, featuring olive, lime and peach trees, amongst others. The greenery provides shelter and a pleasant atmosphere.
As the garden does not directly adjoin the property, it has a character of its own and offers various opportunities for relaxing outdoors, gardening or enjoying long summer evenings with family and friends.
Adjacent to the flat is a separate guest room that forms part of the co-ownership. It has its own entrance and is equipped with a toilet and shower.
A particularly practical addition for those who regularly host family or friends, but also of interest to those seeking extra space for guests or occasional lettings.
In the ‘cave’, the property also has its own hobby/storage room, ideal for storing bicycles, gardening equipment, tools and other items.
The property also comes with one private parking space.
Les Brousses is situated on the edge of the beautiful Parc national des Cévennes, an area renowned for its impressive landscapes, forests, rivers, walking trails and authentic villages.
The surrounding area is perfect for walking, cycling, swimming in natural rivers and exploring the many characteristic villages and markets of the South of France.
The towns of Saint-Ambroix, Les Vans, Barjac and Uzès are also easily accessible.
Here, you won’t just be living in a house, but in a setting with a rich history and distinct character. The former mining landscape, the stone architecture and the surrounding natural beauty give Les Brousses a unique atmosphere all of its own.
A special property for those seeking space, authenticity, tranquillity and nature — with the charm of the South of France and the unique atmosphere of the Cévennes.
A place to live permanently, to create a second home or simply to enjoy the good life in the South of France.
