At a Glance Reference MFH-JSP300 Near to Chalabre Price 265,000 Bed 5 Bath 2 Hab.Space 313 sqm Land 2200 sqm Pool No Land Tax N/A Property Description This generous hearted village property full of charm and character was built by the owner of a successful manufacturing company. The first owner spared no expense to ensure that his home had only top quality materials throughout and that the work was carried out by the most qualified people in existence. For example, the staircase was built by a member of the Compagnie des Artisans these people were the top of the trees of their chosen trade think Thomas Chippendale or Grinling Gibbons in England and were judged by their peers before being accepted into the Compagnie. The fireplaces are original, carved wood or marble in a variety of colours we think the delicate green marble in one of the bedrooms is particularly enchanting and, unusually for its time, there are enough toilets! More showers / bathrooms have been added by the current owner to improve things still further, plus, happily, the cast iron radiators with their delicate scroll mouldings have been preserved when updating the central heating system, giving the best of the old with modern comfort. There is double glazing to the rear of the property and we are assured that the roof is in good condition. The property splits into two distinct areas at ground floor level entering the wide entrance hall with its floor of Languedocian tiles, made to measure with an integral border pattern, two sets of double doors and its built in

2 cupboards for coats. You enter the 'social wing' of the property directly to your left the first room you enter has the elegant wood planked floor in the herringbone' pattern and your eye is immediately drawn to the imposing carved wood fireplace. Double windows to the front of the house and a double doors again leading through to another entertaining room this with delicate mouldings throughout, elegant beyond belief, again with double windows leading to a conservatory that is clearly a more recent addition but which gives the most wonderful views of the upper garden. From the conservatory you enter the upper terraced garden established trees and shrubs with lavender spilling over the pathways and access to the garage beyond the garden. This garden overlooks the original canal, now drained and no longer in use, and on to the main garden providing a home to a planting of spring flowers and the interest of multi layered garden rooms. The central corridor separates the practical side of the house a large country kitchen, a large above ground wine cellar and a secondary kitchen area originally probably a scullery but now integrated into the main body of the kitchen. Out the rear kitchen door gives access via a terrace bridging the ex canal and with gentle steps leading down to the main garden with its fruit trees, the species roses, the 'English style country garden', the dedicated vegetable plot, the view to the hills and the mountains behind! The 5 bedrooms are of equal quality, all generous sized, fabulous original features throughout and with fabulous views. Thanks to the current owner there is now adequate bathroomage unusual in a house this size. There is a cathedral ceilinged room at first floor level that they had intended to transform into a billiard / games room with a smaller, also undeveloped, room leading from it both these rooms are sited over the conservatory and are just waiting to become whatever you want them to be. This property could be so many things; a totally fabulous family home, a brilliant Chambres d Hotes, or Boutique Hotel.
