Lesley Sleigh Independent Agent, says :
A 3 to 4 bedroom stone village house with pretty roof terrace, in the Minervois near St Chinian and Olonzac.
This house, in the centre of the Muscat area, has character and charm as well as plenty of accommodation - a 30m² living room, separate kitchen, utility area and three or more bedrooms. It is situated in the middle of the village, but has lovely views over the countryside.

The house was two dwellings originally, and one can enter either by the front door which leads into the living room, or by one which takes one through the utility area - very useful for boots and coats.
The living area has a woodburning fireplace, exposed beams and terracotta floor tiles. The kitchen is next to it, with openings through the thick stone wall between them. It has timber doors and exposed beams, and a friendly feeling to it.
A timber staircase leads up to the first floor, where a landing gives onto three bedrooms, the bathroom and WC, which all have timber floorboards. The first bedroom has a glazed verandah with a view of the vineyards and the impressive rock formations of the river gorge, and all three bedrooms have fitted cupboards. A fourth bedroom, which leads through from the third, has a ceramic-tiled floor, and from it, a spiral staircase leads up to the roof terrace.
The terrace is very attractive, with plants and trellis, and looks out over terracotta tiles towards the church tower and the beautiful views to the east over the garrigue towards La Montagne Noire.
The village, well-known for its delicious Muscat wine 'the best in the world' is 15 minutes from St Chinian and 20 minutes from Olonzac, small towns with all amenities and known for their good food markets. It is 52 minutes from the sea, 1 hour from the airports at Carcassonne and Béziers, and an hour and a half from Spain.

Location in France
Herault, department number 34, is located in the South of France on the Mediterranean coast and has a fantastic year round climate. It is famous for its full-bodied red wines and for its oyster beds along the coast in the Bassin de Thau.
Montpellier is the capital of both the Hérault department and the Languedoc-Roussillon region, and is the driving force behind the regional economy with high tech industries in Agropolis and Euromedecine. The area has seen a dramatic transformation during the last 50 years. The rise of a strong left of centre local government has left a legacy of good housing, pedestrianisation of town centres and a public transportation network that is second to none.
Béziers is further to the south, renowned for its ancient bridge. It has a population of 70,000 and is the unofficial capital of the largest wine-producing region in France, with vineywards dominating much of the local landscape.
Elsewhere, the town of Sete is the most important fishing port on the French Mediterranean coast and Le Cap d'Agde is the largest purpose built tourist resort in the whole of Europe. It can accommodate up to 100,000 tourists at any one time. Nearby is Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert, one of France's most beautiful villages.
Flying into Herault couldn't be easier. There is an international airport in Montpellier and a smaller one in Béziers, with mainly flights from Paris. Although Ryanair now has a service from Bristol to Béziers three times a week. Montpellier has regular flights to and from the UK with Ryanair, GB Airways and British Airways. The fast and comfortable TGV train service also runs through to Montpellier.
In terms of french property, Montpellier is the most expensive city in the Languedoc-Roussillon and has experienced a 25 percent increase in prices over the last five years. Outside Montpellier, the trend remains similar, as the Hérault is an increasingly popular place in which to own property - but in the rural villages and hamlets further inland, there are still bargain french properties to be found.
