Summary

Property description

Stone-built Mas in 4 hectares
Recently renovated with great care
Full of character and charm
Flexible accommodation for 2-10
Energy rating: D

Situated at 750m altitude this fully renovated Mas sits in a private countryside location with far reaching views just a few minutes walk from a town with all facilities.

Approached via a private driveway there is parking for up to a dozen cars in front of the house. A large solid oak front door leads into the entrance hall with fitted solid wood wardrobes, a second door then opens onto the main hallway which runs down the centre of the house, an office / library is to the right while on the left a staircase leads up to the first floor. Moving down the corridor there is a separate WC, family bathroom with bath and vanity unit and an office (or 5th bedroom), at the end we arrive at a large open-plan kitchen and dining area with fireplace and double French doors opening out to the garden on one side plus double French doors giving on to the south-facing conservatory; the kitchen is fully fitted with oak units and a marble worktop. The conservatory is glazed on three sides and provides a wonderful room from which to enjoy the garden, even in winter thanks to the traditional Norwegian stove sitting in one corner which does a wonderful job of warming the room on even the coldest of days. Built on the side of the house in 2007 is an 80m2 extension that offers three further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a laundry room. The work was undertaken by quality builders with a good attention to detail and the results of this are apparent in the finish throughout.

The first floor of the property is a vast 80m2 open-plan space offering seating, sleeping and study areas plus double French doors opening on to a 17m2 roof terrace with exception views towards Mt Canigou. The quality of renovation in this space is rarely equalled, great care has been taken to ensure that the exposed stone and roof beams are not compromised by inferior modern elements thus the solid wood window frames housing the double-glazed windows have been chosen to complement the colour of the original natural wood in the roof. Next to the seating area is a Norwegian wood burning stove which keeps the whole space very cosy.

Outside the house has flat lawn area and terraces close to the house with fruit and nut trees a little further away. There is an external summer lounge which makes a excellent entertaining area during the warmer months plus, a little farther, a tool/equipment shed. A really special feature of this home is the authentic wooden Norwegian Jacuzzi with wood burning stove to ensure that up to 12 people can enjoy a hot spa even in the middle of winter! The gardens run on to a small stream with bridge and then lead out to woodland, not far from the house is a 150m2 pond providing an excellent habitat for a wide variety of fauna and flora.

Summary: a most wonderful property, full of original features and totally charming. A perfect home for someone who enjoys nature and privacy and yet wishes to have shops, restaurants, schools etc all within a few minutes.

Heated by a mix of wood-burning and electric central heating. Town water, septic tank, ADSL available.
