House in Carcassonne , Aude , Languedoc-Roussillon - Part of Occitanie

Just a short walk from the Place Carnot with all its bars and restaurants lies this spacious villa with garage and garden, complete with newly added in-ground pool. It is a great find, and although there is some decoration and updating required the potential is obvious.

The front path leads into a small porch from which double glass doors take you into the impressive tiled entrance hall with a stylish staircase to the first floor.
The large L-shaped living / dining room is at the back of the house, with French windows opening onto the terrace. Work has been started to make this into a covered terrace which would be great for shade and privacy.
Also on the ground floor is a fitted kitchen with built-in appliances, a laundry/boiler room, a bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a shower room, separate WC, and the study with French windows to the terrace.

Upstairs, once used as a separate apartment, are 3 large bedrooms, a shower room, a bathroom and a separate WC. There is the former kitchen which could either be modernised or converted, perhaps into an en-suite bedroom. There is a second sitting room, with access to the wrap-around balcony.

The current owners have added the swimming pool and terrace and started some work inside the house, including upgrading the electrics. There is more to do, although largely cosmetic. The kitchen and bathrooms are slightly dated, but have a certain retro charm!
The central heating system is powered by a heat pump, and solar panels heat the water in the summer months.
The privacy in the garden could be greatly improved with some simple changes to screen the pool area.

Carcassonne is a great place to live with a lively town centre, the historic medieval city, out-of-town retail parks, railway station and an international airport.
