Leggett Immobilier Independent Agent, says :
A fantastic project to be finished off in your style. The main large scale work has been done; the roof is new, the double glazed windows are new, the external walls have been rendered and there is more. Rare for this type of property there is a small garden and parking for two cars!
The house consists of three levels. A very interesting point about this house is that there are two doors into this house; one at the ground floor and another to the middle floor. This means that it could easily be converted in two properties. The small garden to the rear, which is perfect for the evening aperitif, is on the middle level.
Mains drainage has been connected to the house ready for completion of the plumbing.
Boiler and central heating circuits have been pre-planned and the conduits are installed if you want them. A shed to the side of the house is the perfect place for the boiler and storage.
Insulated plasterboard has been installed throughout. The downstairs floor has been tiled and the first and top floors have chipboard surfaces ready for the surface of your choice.
A Commercial shopping Centre including a supermarket, diy store, garage and restaurant/bar, is just minutes away on the edge of the village. Toulouse and the airport are just over an hour away. The mountains for skiing in the winter and walking in the sunny months are also about an hour away.
DPE : We are in the process of updating all DPE test.
Ariege was once an independent country with a proud identity. It is located on France's southern border next to Spain and Andorra and contains vast areas of countryside unspoilt and largely unpopulated. The department is ideal for people wanting to get away from it all.
The capital of Ariege is Foix, a small town but with a lot of charm. Two rivers and one mighty rock surround the town giving it a very picturesque natural setting, and it has survived a number of attacks keeping the town's castle very active over the centuries.
The ancient capital of the area is St-Lizier, with its fascinating cathedral. The resort of Ax-les-Thermes has 75km of runs (green, blue, red and black) also a purpose built snow park for snowboarders. The resort is at 1400m, with slopes rising to 2300m. There are lots of restaurants in Ax-les-Thermes, the small town linked by a new cable car to the ski resort. There is excellent skiing, friendly people and the ski properties are half the price of the Alps! The resort is 1.25 hours drive from Toulouse airport, and is on the main rail link to Toulouse,or Paris or Barcelona .
ARiege has a vast number of huge prehistoric caves, and the D119 road bends right into the mouth of the colossal Grotte du Mas d'Azil.
There are regular flights from the UK servicing Toulouse, Carcassonne and Perpignan. Another option is to take either a P&O service from Portsmouth to Bilbao or a Brittany Ferries service from Plymouth to Santander and then travel up from Spain . Alternatively, the fast and comfortable TGV service will take you all the way to Toulouse.
The area is not hugely populated, but the local economy continues to improve and property prices are starting to rise. However, when compared to other parts of southern France they represent excellent value for money.
