Walk to the bakery! Beautifully restored plain pied villa in a popular village with heated pool, lovely garden, garage

Nothing to do here but unpack & dive into the gorgeous pool! This villa has been painstakingly restored & updated over the past year & has been transformed from a dog with fleas (I saw the 'before' photos) to show-house immaculate. Green lawns with built-in watering system, lovely paved terraces, good sized rooms & a super fitted kitchen with quality units & appliances & loads of work space for keen chefs, 3 double bedrooms, 2 with patio doors opening onto the garden & one with an ensuite WC & a large garage, make this a great buy. Watch the Virtual Tour for the full experience!

There is a nice, big, light entrance hall into the house, with the kitchen on one side & the first of the bedrooms (with ensuite WC & sink) on the other. The kitchen is brand new & fully fitted, with all appliances included in the sale, a gas hob & double oven, granite effect worktops, plenty of room for a dining table & with the utility room just behind & the interior entrance into the garage, which is beyond that. The large sitting room has paio doors opening out to the garden, plus a woodburner for chilly winter nights. The house is well insulated (80mm everywhere) & the reversible air-con units (2 of them; one in the lsalon and one in one of the bedrooms) & programmable convector heaters keep it perfectly warm; electricity bills work out at about 130 euros per month & this includes the heating of the swimming pool. Two further bedrooms plus the family bathroom finish the accommodation.

The house is fitted with SKY tv & has 'wi-fi' max for a really fast broadband connection. All the windows are new, woodgrain effect upvc & of course double glazed. The heated 10 X 5 pool is concrete with winter & summer covers & there is a well for filling the pool & watering the garden & potager (veg garden); there is also an automatic watering system which works on a timer. The attic is floored & offers loads of useful storage space, plus there is the big garage. The house is fully tiled throughout & the construction of the walls is brick, not block. There is cheap electricity at night time & a water softener fitted, in the garage. The house benefits from a whole-home' ventilation system. The garden is actually 2 parcels together & the rest of the land is constructible, which means you could build another house in your garden. All in all, a super home at an excellent price.

The village of St. Genies de Fontedit remains as popular as ever with locals & expats. With a cafe, bakery, tabac, pizzeria, hairdresser, village general store, a weekly market, butcher & fishmonger delivery vans, tennis courts, 2 salle des fetes (village halls), doctor & a primary school & 3 wine domaines with shops, there is a thriving, year round community. 15 minutes from Beziers, 25 mins from Pezenas, 50 minutes from Montpellier, 25 minutes to the coast & within easy reach of 6 airports. I have visited this home & took the photos; any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

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.
