The front and back gardens are quite private and the big summer kitchen is a wonderful bonus for barbeques and entertaining, having a purpose built fireplace and chimney, also a double stoneware sink and electric points, cupboards and large shelving areas underneath a tiled roof. It is quite a sun trap. There are tiles on the floor. It is big enough on its own to create very easily a separate studio if required.

However, there are also openings leading to two very large attics, easy to convert to further bedroom space and perhaps a bathroom. Even the floor of this is of solid red clay brick construction.

There is no timber used in the construction of the house other than in the windows and doors. This is a very solid house, about 28 years old.

Quillan is well equipped with all sorts of restaurants and bakeries, a railway station, shops, leisure centre with Olympic size outdoor pool close to the house, tennis courts, schools and plenty of community entertainment in the way of festivals and markets.

It is about an hour's drive to Andorra and skiing, an hour to the Mediterranean and is at the heart of the Cathare region. It is close to Rennes le Chateau and a short trip up the mountain road behind yields a superb view over the valleys. There are inland lakes, horse riding, trails, white water rafting, extreme sports and kayaking on the river. There are two leafy town squares with and the large central church hosts concerts. There is a new leisure park with two small fishing lakes nearby. There are funfairs and very good bands on a frequent basis in the two squares, caves and gorges and amazing chateaus within a short drive. The house is in a leafy suburb of the town with parking on its own drive. There is further parking on the street.

This is a lovely clean family house, perfect as it is, but with earning and investment potential. The buyer could choose to let out the bottom two bedrooms, and live in comfort on the first and second floors, and thus have enough income to cover a mortgage.

Basic furniture and kitchenware negotiable. Please don't hesitate to inquire if you are interested.
