The size of this house is deceptive, because of the quirky configuration - common in these historic villages - because it is in fact two houses that were seamlessly joined over a century ago.
The east side of the house fronts onto a small square and is pictured, the west side of the house is not visible from the square - instead, you can see it from the very narrow, once cobbled lane on the west side of the house. The ancient arch that formed the entrance to the west side (which may have once been part of the ancient village forge) has been fully restored and creates a beautiful doorway into the store/cave. With careful planning, this space could be utilised to create a small self-contained gite, or perhaps you might prefer a two storey gite that incorporates the large west-facing bedroom above. The possibilities exist.
Upon entering the front door on the ground floor from the patio, located on the east side of the house, you will find yourself in a small entrance hall. This area provides access to the staircase and leads into a generously proportioned fitted kitchen with a large (functioning) open fireplace, and a utility/laundry room with a useful shower and WC.
Ascending the beautiful stone staircase to the first floor, on the east side of the landing area there is a dining room and a bright living room. Both rooms have traditional french doors opening onto the juliette balcony that runs the entire width of the east side of the house. This first-floor space benefits from remote-controlled reversible heating/air cooling unit. On the west side of the first floor landing there is a large master bedroom.
Moving up to the second floor, on the east side of the landing area you have two double bedrooms, both with spectacular views of the mountains across towards the Spanish border. To the west side you have a family bathroom with separate W.C and a single bedroom with sloping ceiling.
Throughout the house there are power points for electric radiators and there is secondary window glazing.
There is also a small attic storage area in the newly insulated roof loft of the east side of the house. This loft has potential to become a roof-terrace offering spectacular views to the south, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The two garden plots totalling around 500m2 are a ten-minute walk away, below the village, located on what was probably an old Roman / Templar olive or vine terraced area. It was a productive vegetable garden as recently as 10 years ago but has been neglected in more recent times. If a vegetable garden isn’t your thing, it could be an ideal space to keep chickens or a goat or two. Alternatively, you could create a peaceful garden, offering stunning views and a sheltered retreat, during the short, mild winters and hot summers.
This charming property does not require any work and is immediately habitable. For those looking for a project, there is potential for further enhancements.
Houses in this condition and price range are rare, so and early viewing is suggested to avoid disappointment.
