Thuir, Languedoc-Roussillon 66300

This charming house is located in the oldest part of Thuir and offers a rare combination of history, atmosphere and modern comfort. The year 1677 is preserved on the façade facing the street, and based on visible building details and local knowledge, it is believed that the house may have been partially built on masonry from the town's former city gate. The result is a home with distinct character and soul, while also being fully finished and ready to move into. The property (160 m2) is very spacious and extends over three floors, with a bathroom and toilet on each floor. There are 45 bedrooms, providing ample space for both family and guests. You are welcomed by a beautiful entrance hall and a spacious hallway. On this floor, there is a separate guest area with an extra alcove, kitchenette and bathroom, as well as direct access to the garage. On the main floor, you will find two cosy bedrooms, a lovely kitchen and a large, bright living room with high ceilings. Exposed beams and a Scandinavian wood-burning stove provide both warmth and extra atmosphere. The living room opens onto a pleasant breakfast terrace. On the second floor, there is a small and inviting terrace adjacent to the master bedroom, perfect for quiet moments with a cup of coffee and a book. At the top of the house is a large terrace that is partially covered. Here, the family gathers for card games and shared meals. The roof provides pleasant shade, which is practical in one of France's sunniest areas. The terraces are approximately 8.10 m², 8.45 m² and 20.55 m² respectively, in addition to approximately 19.35 m² of covered space. The owners have preserved as many original features as possible, while at the same time completely renovating the house over many years, with the last major renovation taking place in 2014. The property is equipped with reversible air conditioning/heat pump in the living room, kitchen and three of the bedrooms. The bathroom on the main floor is particularly beautifully designed, with a washbasin made by a local craftsman from stone from Castelnou. Refined wrought iron details including some doors, the staircase to the upper terrace and parts of the furniture have been crafted by local artisans. The location makes the house an ideal base for exploring the South of France: Thuir is located at the foot of the Pyrenees, about 13 km from Perpignan and around 23 km from the Mediterranean Sea, with excellent opportunities for excursions to both the coast and the mountains, and easy access to major cities such as Barcelona and Montpellier.
