TLA0012 Large stone built village house requiring complete renovation. When finished this house will offer a superb 3 to 4 bedroom house with private courtyard right in the center of one of the most sought-after beautiful old Languedoc villages, in the  heart of the wine growing AOC region of St.

Chinian. The house is just off the village´s pretty main square, in a very quiet spot with no passing traffic.

It is currently in need of complete renovation but has all the services (water, electricity, mains drainage, telephone) and is sound. The house has had all the furniture and junk removed and so is ready for work to start.

All the walls are stone - which when rendered - will look superb. Many of the original wood beams are also present, as are the original tile floors.

Architect plans have been drawn up - turning the house into a beautiful 4-bedroom house - with a courtyard , for an additional investment of well under EUR 100´000. The completed house will have a value that would exceed the combined sum of the original purchase price plus the cost of renovation.

These plans are not fixed so any purchaser would be free to develop the house how he saw fit. The current layout of the house would also split very well into two smaller units, offering the potential to live in one half and generate rental income from the other, or indeed to sell both.

The local demand for 2/3 bedroom houses is great, as is the demand for rental properties (either for locals or for holiday rentals). The village has about 400 residents.

It is still very much of a working village surrounded by stunning countryside. It has a junior school and Post Office and delivery vans from nearby villages deliver the basic daily essentials (bread, meat, vegetables, etc.

). Your nearest big supermarket is only 10min drive away and the village is equidistant from both Béziers and Narbonne.

The village is a traditional Languedoc vine village - with a central core of beautiful stone houses with terracotta roofs. The countryside around is equisit, and forms part of the St.

Chinian appelation - one of the finest wine growing areas of the region. The village is only 5mins from the twon of Cessenon and 10mins from St.

Chinian itself, both of which offer all of the amenities you could need, including doctor, dentist, DIY stores, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, swimming and kayaking in the river Orb, etc. There is no garage but parking is possible in the little square in front of the house.

In the courtyard it would be possible to build a plunge pool.[
