This charming barn conversion would make a cosy, tranquil retreat, with the convenience of excellent amenities just a short drive away.

Attention to detail were key to this conversion and it has certainly stood the test of time. Double- glazed floor to ceiling wooden windows in the living area, underfloor heating and natural stone and wooden flooring give the property a solidity and timeless feel.

In addition to the barn, there is an attached house which would require full renovation (subject to necessary permissions), but it does serve as a picturesque backdrop to the outside space, a modern garage, currently rented by a local professional artist and a very useful atelier. The outside space isn’t owned by the proprietor; but, in true French tradition, the owners have permission to make full use of it.

The barn’s accommodation comprises of a good sized entrance and hallway, a bedroom with full en suite, a laundry room, shower and separate toilet on the ground floor and stairs leading to a beautiful light, spacious living/dining/ kitchen space. A galleried mezzanine is reached by further stairs and this makes a perfect place for guests.

The little hamlet is within very easy reach of the lively and culturally rich, village of Chalabre, the wonderful experience of Montsegur with its fascinating Cathar history, and is less than an hour’s drive to both Carcassonne and the ski slopes. It’s a little gem!
