In a sought-after canal village, well-placed for all amenities but in the Minervois countryside; with plenty of garden space, or a garden plus possible building plot, here is an opportunity to feel at home in the south of France. The garden is entirely fenced, giving a feeling of security.
The entrance to the house leads onto the large all-in-one living room with dining kitchen and fireplace. Out on the covered terrace, there is a barbecue and summer kitchen, and access to a room which is perfect for a second living area, for games, a large utility area, an office, workshop or fourth bedroom.
Back in the main part of the house are three double bedrooms, a lovely modern bathroom with Italian-style shower, and a separate WC. There is oil central heating and double glazing.
Outside are three garages, one attached to the house and two in a separate building, super for workshops or storage or several vehicles!
The garden is large enough to build a second home, and there is a precedent for this close by.
The village has amenities including restaurants, but is also 5 minutes from St. Marcel sur Aude, where there are supermarkets, bank, bakers, newsagents, a good restaurant, etc., 14 km from Narbonne, a good base for all you need, and 34 km from the sea.

The Aude lies in the Languedoc-Roussillon on the edge of the Pyrenees, and as usual within France, such a diverse country, there are a wide variety of landscapes. Vast areas are devoted to wheat fields and vineyards, and mountains and vast forests are scattered throughout the area. The department also has around 50km of Mediterranean coastline, which is always appealing!
The city of Carcassonne is the Aude's most proud possession. The medieval town, which was the inspiration for 'The Sleeping Beauty', boasts an incredible 52 towers and 2 enormous ramparts. A stroll around the city's old town reveals many memorable views, and even form the autoroute, when lit up at night, it looks sensational. The historical city of Narbonne, not far from Carcassone, is another favourite.
The Aude has a large number of castles, reminiscent of its Cathar history. The most impressive citadel is Peyrepertuse, which has 2.5km of ramparts.
The Midi Canal, which flows through the department, is an incredible feat of construction. It took 12,000 men working for 14 years to complete it in the 17th century, and it runs from Toulouse to Thau, passing through Carcassonne. The canal is an incredible 240km in length nowadays, it is used most by the tourist industry and is a great way to explore the region whilst admiring the landscape at a leisurely pace.
The area is proud of its customs and local cuisine, including the world famous cassoulet. Castelnaudary is considered the world capital of this particular dish. There are very strict rules over what constitutes a cassoulet - most importantly, all the ingredients must come from the Aude!
Carcassonne has its own international airport with regular flights to the UK and other European destinations, as well as a TGV train station, so travelling to the Aude is easy.
The french property prices in the Aude tend to be slightly cheaper than the average within the Languedoc Roussillon, but the major cities naturally attract higher property values, particularly Carcassonne.
