Puilaurens, Languedoc-Roussillon 11140

IN CATHAR COUNTRY! At the foot of the Cathar Castle of Puilaurens, I offer this village house of approximately 100m², semi-detached on two sides, a 5/6-room (T5/6) type house on 3 levels with a front entrance. The house comprises a large garage on the ground floor, an entrance hall, and a utility room. The first floor offers an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, a landing, and a bathroom with WC. The top floor has 4 bedrooms with sloping ceilings, a bathroom, and a WC. Heating is provided by a combination oil and wood-fired boiler. In addition, air conditioning has been installed on the top floor for periods of high heat. Regarding renovations, some improvements are needed. The electrical system is old and has some issues. Some windows are double-glazed PVC, but most are single-glazed wood. The insulation needs improvement. A general refurbishment is recommended. The town has a mains drainage system, and the property is connected to the sewer. Puilaurens is a listed village due to its castle; the house is located within the protected area designated by the Architecte des Bâtiments de France (ABF), so certain renovations will require adherence to the town planning regulations. The property tax is 1043. Regarding services, the town has a school group with a bus service and a canteen for nursery and primary school students. There is a grocery store/bakery in the village. For other services such as a doctor, pharmacy, butcher, swimming pool, etc., these are located in Axat, a 5-minute drive away. The nearest secondary school is in Quillan. As for the surroundings, what could be better! You'll be close to the mountains, nature, numerous hiking trails, and a river offering a variety of activities such as fishing, whitewater sports, and climbing. Culturally, there's plenty to do as well, with the many Cathar castles in the area, spectacular sites like the Gorges de Galamus, de la Pierre Lys, and de St. Georges, the Corbières wine route with its many cellars, the Tautavel Museum, and the Cité de Carcassonne. The Mediterranean Sea and Spain are just an hour's drive away. A bus line will take you to Perpignan or Carcassonne for only 1. Ideal for a family looking to settle in this beautiful region or as a base in a tourist area, yet close to nature. For more information, please contact me by phone.
