Languedoc village. Large restored character house, 7 beds; 6 baths, garage & courtyard; ideal B & B or house + huge gite

Originally 2 separate houses, this character property lends itself perfectly to becoming a successful B & B in the centre of this very popular village, or you could live in one & use the other as a gite. House One has 4 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, whilst House Two, recently totally renovated with a brand new, bright interior, has 3 large double bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room, plus a separate stand-alone bathroom. A sunny courtyard connects the two properties, which are being sold as one unit, at a great price.

This house is an amalgamation of two properties-so-TWO for the price of one! One entrance is into the main house and the other into the 3 bed gite on the other side. Ask me for a copy of the cadastral plans. Entering the house into the large bright living room with open plan fitted kitchen you have windows on both sides giving lots of light and a lovely courtyard to eat breakfast or sunbathe privately, as its not overlooked. It would be easily possible to increase the area of the courtyard, by removing the lean-to which forms the 'laundry' & exposing the other half of the original, stone archway, which frames the back door of House One.

There is a woodburner in the living room which warms the whole ground floor in winter. The kitchen is fitted with all equipment. Upstairs there are 2 more floors with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor. The gite or 2nd house is linked to the 1st house via the courtyard making this an ideal chambre d'hotes; as you could live on one side and have your guests on the other. The gite was previously a wreck and has been totally referbished to create a house with 3 large high ceilinged ensuite double bedrooms upstairs, filled with light and with original beams and fresh white walls. Each room has a shower room with wc and in addition there is a separate bathroom. Downstairs you have a large living room, with open plan kitchen, a front entrance hall & a garage.

The village has a bakery, general store, tabac, cafe & salle de sport, plus tennis courts, a primary school & a football pitch (there are tennis & football clubs) as well as other activities such as taekwondo, step classes & yoga. There is a strong expat community here. 20 minutes from Beziers, Montpellier 50 minutes, Carcassonne, 1 hour & the coast 25 minutes. Within easy reach (1-2 hours) of 6 international airports & Beziers Cap d'Agde airport is half an hour. Beziers also has the TGV.

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.
