Emma Voysey Independent Agent, says :
In a popular village, just 15 minutes from Beziers & this super house is in 1st class order throughout, from the neat garden with a lovely Dejoyaux pool, summer kitchen & productive 'potager', to the sunny sitting room & double height garage; everything is up & together & ready to move into. Storage has been well thought out & the kitchen & bathroom are both fitted & modern. Easy to 'lock up & leave' if you are seeking a holiday home; ideal as a rental property for investment as there's nothing to do, or a jolly good house as a full time residence, with heating for winter & air conditioning for the height of summer.

Built of brick, in 1998, rather than block and double glazed throughout, this property is well insulated & well thought out. There is space in the garage to extend the mezzanine & create another floor if more storage was needed. The garden of 450m2 is full of productive fruit trees, strawberries & flowering shrubs such as Oleander which provide colour all summer long & a thick hedge around the front boundary for privacy. The summer kitchen with barbeque opens out onto the pool area; the pool is 6 X 3 metres. Heating is provided by electric convector heaters & a reversible Daikin air conditioning unit. Last year's electricity bill from EDF was 860 euros. The house sits in the middle of the plot.
The village has all the local shops, such as a bakery, tabac, bar, cafe, pharmacy & grocery store. It is busy & active & its not necessary to jump in the car, every time you need anything as it's all on your doorstep. Montpellier is under an hour; as is Carcassonne. Beziers, with its airport is 15 minutes away & its 20 to 25 minutes to the Med beaches.

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.
