Emma Voysey Independent Agent, says :
In my opinion this is an excellent buy & offers great value for money as there is really nothing to do but move in & crack open a bottle! A spacious, light filled, corner house, 40m2 on each floor, with a southerly aspect. The entrance is via a small street onto a lovely, private terrace, with great views of the open countryside beyond the village. There are 3 double bedrooms, or 2 beds & 2 lounges, plus a large bathroom. A garage and a store room on the ground floor provides secure parking & plenty of storage. An ideal lock up & leave holiday home and its also very rentable with low maintenance, as everything has been restored to a high standard, whilst retaining plenty of original features such as exposed beams & stone walls, terracotta tiled floors, & lovely old wooden doors throughout. The Virtual Tour I have added gives you a good idea of the layout, light & quality. Easily rentable, or to use as a permanent home.

The fitted kitchen is large enough for a table to seat 6 people, plus the tiled terrace, directly outside the kitchen door (also the main door to the house), provides a good space for entertaining & to enjoy the living outdoors experience. There are built in store cupboards & more room for wall units if these were required. All the appliances, such as dishwasher, cooker & calor gas hob are included in the sale. The tiled bathroom is adjacent to the kitchen, with a shower & WC. Plenty of space here for a bath tub, if one was required.
Upstairs one level to the 2nd floor & you find the main salon with an insert woodburner, plus the master bedroom adjacent. On the 3rd floor in the 'grenier' or attic, there are two more rooms, currently used as a 2nd lounge & another large double bedroom. A second bathroom could be installed up here if required. The garage & adjacent store room is accessed from the street below & has an electric up & over door (the electric mechanism isn't installed but is all there, ready to be used).
The peaceful little village of Coulobres is between the larger villages of Abeilhan (closest), Servian & Espondeilhan. It has a daily bakery/epicerie van delivering fresh bread & provisions to the village. There is a primary school & a church as well & all other amenities are a short car or bike ride away in one of the adjacent villages. Abeilhan is less than 1km away, so a brisk walk takes you to the shops: with 2 bakeries, a tabac, pharmacy, general store, a post office, a cafe & a pizzeria. Tax foncieres for this property is a snip at 161 euros per annum (based on last year's rate).
To sum up; an absolutely super home which has all the right ingredients for someone to fall in love with, very soon!

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.
