Romantic 3-4 bed stone house with garden - very rare! - and lake views, in a fishing village near Narbonne.

A truly fabulous, unique property in one of the most popular coastal villages of this gorgeous region! It needs renovation, but that will allow you to put your own stamp on the house and garden. An opportunity like this doesn't come up often: a character stone house with a good-sized terraced garden and a rooftop terrace that has stunning views of the coastal Etang de Bages.

The village is well-known for its outstanding position on the top of a rocky outcrop next to the extensive coastal salt lakes, only 9 km from the centre of Narbonne. Its location is even more wonderful, as it is set between vineyards, hills and lakes, the latter being the habitat of flamingos, herons and many other waterbirds. The nature reserve of the Ile de Sainte Lucie adjoins it.

The property is very close to the village church at the top of the village, where parking is available. Small streets lead down towards the lake, and the house and garden can be accessed from two of them. The front door opens from the north side, and the stone-walled entrance hall leads to the main south- and east-facing part of the property.

The ample kitchen/dining area, (26m²) with its white fitted kitchen, has windows to the south and east, and a glazed door to the garden. There is a woodburning stove with heat transfer to the main bedroom above. Up several steps to the hallway are the family shower room, with WC, and a separate WC.

A tiled stairway leads to the very spacious main bedroom (26 m²), with windows to the south and east, exposed timber ceiling beams, and terracotta floor tiles. Up several more stairs is the second bedroom of approx. 14 m², with terracotta tiles, an east-facing window over the garden, and a shower room. At the next level is a third bedroom in the roofspace, with timber beams, terracotta tiles, an east-facing window with lake views, plus a velux, and a small shower area.

A few more stairs lead to the roof terrace, about 15m² in total, with its wonderful views of the lake, the village roofs and the garden with its fig, robinia and oleander trees. It is completely private, ideal for sunbathing, and has a high-level deck with even more extensive views!

A second door from the terrace leads to a small room that can be used as a bedroom or study, with a small window on the entrance side of the house. Below this, reached by a second, tiled and timber-edged staircase, is another room of the same size, at present used for storage, and in need of renovation. The stairs continue down to the entrance hall.

The garden of approx. 102m² is very private, and can be accessed direct from the small village street - useful for removing garden waste. It has a small storage space that contains the washing machine at present. There is a gravelled area at this level, conveniently shaded at certain times of day by the fig and other trees. Stepping up, one reaches the terracotta-tiled terrace area, which catches more sun.

The village has a small épicerie and two vendors/producers of fruit and veg, plus several restaurants/cafés. It is 9 km from Narbonne, with a bus service 3 times a day for 2€ ; 5 km from Peyriac-de-Mer, with restaurants, bars, and a superette; 7 km from la plage du Doul, also at Péyriac, 26 km from Narbonne Plage, 40 km from Béziers, 62 km from Carcassonne and 96 km from Spain (about an hour's drive).
