Property description

The millhouse dates from 1834 and is quietly situated in the Carcassonne area in a romantic spot with panoramic views overlooking the impressive river with its waterfall. The Mill historically known for its linen is today a lovely large family home. The guesthouse has been recently renovated, the main house would benefit from some updating and offers good size rooms and a fabulous ambiance.

A Watermill, very rare in our area, which will become a jewel in the right hands!Description of the buildings
The main house offers 300m? on two floors.
Ground floor: Entrance by a small closed courtyard with a detached small house, 30m? with lounge, toilet, shower room and laundry.
French double entrance doors lead to the large reception hall, 25m? with toilet. Kitchen, 30m? with open fire place and dining corner. One kitchen door opens to the  courtyard and another one to a balcony and the garage. A third  kitchen door leads to the lounge, 45m? with huge open fire place and the dining room, 30m? overlooking the river via a large panoramic window. Both dining room and lounge open to a 60m? covered south facing terrace with dining facility.
1st floor: A wide wooden staircase at the entrance hall leads to a spacious landing, a mezzanine actually used as library. Landing and hall, with separate toilet, give access to 8 bedrooms, 4 of them with its bathroom en suite. The bedrooms measure between 14 and 26m?. Two bedrooms, at the end of the hall, could be used as an individual apartment.

Detached guesthouse, 90m?
Recently renovated, on two floors with ground floor lounge and open kitchen. Two bedrooms on the first floor with a family bathroom.

Heated pool 12 x 6m with a small pool house
Garage 47m? attached to the main house with access to two barns
Barn 71m? on two floors

Grounds
The well kept, flat, walled garden of about 5000m? with several old trees is bordered by the river on one side and the mill stream on the other. At the end of the fully sprinkled romantic, illuminated garden is a small island, used as a playground for children. There are many original features in the garden like the well, locks, bridges and the waterfall.

General condition
The main house, with oil fired central heating, has been fully renovated in 1974 by the actual owner and has absolutely no humidity problems despite the water passing under the house. The guesthouse, air conditioned, has been refurbished recently but needs the kitchen to be finished. The main house, even so all is in working order, would benefit from some modernisation.

Comment
This attractive property could be a very good investment for a gite and B&B business attracting clients all year round due to its unique character and situation. This grand family home is now looking for a new owner who will continue to look after it with as much affection and care.
