Exceptionally well-appointed village house in a vibrant Minervois village with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, garage
A pretty little house ,well-placed in the Minervois village of La Redorte, near the Canal du Midi.
It offers 4 large bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and two toilettes.
There are 3 bedrooms on the first floor with lovely natural wood floors, warm to the feet in winter.
There is a kitchen on the ground floor with open fireplace, a lounge with an insert woodburner and another room that could be used as a bedroom or office/library. On this floor is another bedroom and bathroom, fitted with a red Caunes marble sink.
Located under the house, there is a large garage of 89m2, big enough for 2 cars. The back of the garage leads to a small, cozy courtyard, with an enclosed hot tub (water heated by the solar panels), for relaxing in comfort and warmth on those chilly winter evenings.
The house has been well renovated , having had all the essentials replaced or redone:
-roof replaced in 2018
-new double glazed windows throughout
-new insulation in the attic
-new plumbing , every pipe has been replaced, including the underground, grey-water evacuation pipes
-new electrical wiring throughout
The house stays fresh and well ventilated, even when closed up, thanks to a double-flux aeration system with 5 ventilation ducts. The outside air is warmed, as it enters the house via this system and so in winter the natural inside temperature is about 17°C, without any heating being needed.
Solar panels were installed on the roof in 2024, for heating the hot water supply and for the hot tub and so the hot tub can be run at a very low cost.
The village has fiber optic connection to the internet.
