House in Azille , Aude , Languedoc Roussillon

Upon entering this stately property, you’ll be enthralled by the spaciousness of the foyer decorated with elegant tiles.

There is an enormous open-air kitchen which is perfect for the inspired home chef and great for entertaining guests. Look below your feet and you’ll see the striking wooden floors, which give it a rustic feel mixed with elegance.

The prestigious office facing the church is decorated with a marble fireplace and my absolute favorite tiles with the "Fleur-de-Lys" (Lily flower) which is the emblem of the French crown and is still used today as a symbol of France.

There is a large living room next to the office which also features gorgeous original flooring and a wood burner to keep warm and cozy on cool winter nights.

The mammoth-sized bedrooms all feature original terracotta tile floors, marble fireplaces, and the stylish workmanship of handcrafted wardrobes. One of the glorious bedrooms features a balcony with a picturesque view of the church.

Throughout the house, all of the windows have been recently replaced by a 6mm thick glass, which is excellent for noise reduction and heating but maintains the original features of the house.

The main bathroom features not only a shower but a romantic, Victorian-style ball-and-claw bathtub, perfect for relaxing after a long day.

There is a balcony that runs the length of the house and is accessed by 2 of the bedrooms and a bathroom, panning out to a terrace with room for table and chairs accessed by one of the bedrooms.

The peaceful garden is easy to care for and features a heated pool where you can soak in the sun or relax with a glass of rosé without being overlooked by neighbors.

This house has been painstakingly renovated with quality materials and great attention to detail, including hand-made wardrobes and state-of-the-art lighting.
Please note the top floor needs renovation, aside from one bathroom recently completed. However, all plumbing and electrics are in place throughout at this level meaning the work is largely cosmetic. Plans are available for the new owner.

If you are looking for a rare and magnificent character property in the south of France, then look no further!

The history of Azille is fascinating. It is a hugely popular medieval village in the Aude at the heart of which is the beautiful 14th-century church. It is a thriving and very friendly community with a convenience store, boulangerie, pharmacy, tobacco store, post office, 2 hairdressers, bar, another wine bar, tea room, art gallery, and a recently opened traditional French restaurant. The Canal du Midi is just 5 minutes down the road, and it is within easy distance of Carcassonne (35 minutes) and Beziers airports (45 minutes), around 45 minutes to the sandy beaches of the Mediterranean and 1 hour 15 minutes from Toulouse. Perpignan airport can be reached in 50 minutes. Oh, and you can be in Spain in an hour and a half! This delightful little property is ready to move into. Just bring your suitcase and come enjoy life in the sunny South of France.
