Attractive 3-Bed Village House & 2-Bed Gite, Montseret, Aude

Property Description

This Corbieres village house has a very pretty garden with a swimming pool and large terrace area.  It is currently arranged as a 3-bed main house & 2-bed gite, but the accommodation is flexible and it would work equally as well as a substantial family home. Situated in a quiet village with an Epicerie, it’s just 3km to the neighbouring village where there is a boulangerie.  The centre of Narbonne is just a 25 minute drive. 

The house is elegant and spacious with big, light living spaces and exposed stone walls.  Carefully renovated, the house manages the careful balance of maintaining the character and integrity of the building, while adapting to feature modern creature comforts.  There is a total 230m2 habitable space which is currently arranged across the main house which has 3 bedrooms and an independent 2-bed gite.  However, the layout could be easily rearranged to create one big 5 bed family home.

Here’s the layout:

Outside:

The 500m2 garden is a real feature of the property.  Set behind wrought iron gates and situated only 5m across a quiet lane from the house.  The landscaping has been carefully considered and the mix of mature fruit trees and flowering shrubs create a real oasis.  The 8m x 3.5m swimming pool is next to a large terrace area where there is plenty of space for a large table and both shaded and sunny seating areas.  There is also a tool shed, pool pump house and a large summer house so there is plenty of storage space.

Location:

The property is situated in Monséret, a classic Corbières village.  There is an Epicerie in the village and a boulangerie and mini-mart in the neighbouring village 3km away.  There is great walking in this area and lots of historical and cultural aspects to explore.  It’s just a 25 min drive to the centre of Narbonne with the Narbonne beaches just 15 mins beyond.   There are 3 nearby airports to choose from, Nîmes, Perpignan and Carcassonne.
