This gorgeous double-fronted 'maison de vigneron', rich in character and thoughtfully renovated, is ideally located in the sought-after village of Caunes-Minervois. Built around 1840, the house is filled with original features, including tall windows, exposed beams, marble fireplaces and a lovely stone staircase.

The outdoor space offers a delightful 30m2 private courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining, from where stairs lead up to the sunny 75m2 pool terrace and summer studio. The L-shaped 6x3.5m pool has a new liner, guaranteed for 20 years. The summer studio offers a cool retreat from the summer heat. A further 50m2 terrace with a shady pergola is the perfect spot for relaxing with a sundowner.

As you enter through the double front door, a hallway leads you into the stylish open-plan fully-fitted kitchen and dining room, which open onto the courtyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The elegant living room benefits from a woodburner and fireplace in the famous local Caunes marble. From the kitchen, a rear hallway takes you to a roomy ground-floor bathroom with shower, basin and wc, and into the 36m2 workshop.

The first floor landing opens onto a pretty wrought-iron Juliet balcony, overlooking the valley opposite. From the landing, you find three sun-filled double bedrooms, all beautifully decorated to retain their original charm. One of the bedrooms has a cute ensuite bathroom and built-in wardrobes, and there is a family bathroom with freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower, basin and wc. There is also a useful linen cupboard on the landing.

A stone staircase takes you up to the second floor and the pièce de résistance – the 80m2 master suite with high beamed ceilings, original quarry-tiled floors, and a pellet stove for the cool winter evenings. With windows on both sides, this room is flooded with light, and exudes elegant comfort, with a spacious open-plan living area and bedroom. The luxurious ensuite bathroom boasts a freestanding bathtub, shower, basin with vanity unit, and wc.

Perfectly suited for a permanent residence, or a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, this property offers all the allure of life in the south of France, with every modern comfort, including high-speed fibre internet. There is plenty of on-street parking.
