Lovely village house in Occitan wine region

Wonderfully unique as the date 1793 is carved in stone above the door mantle along with the builder's initials - this was found when the cement render was removed to reveal the lovely stonework. This a great traditional comfortable village house and being on the corner of the village square it is perfect for really experiencing village life and practicing your French with the locals. It is more suited to families or 2 couples. This house has been fully renovated and has an entrance hall with a marble top antique washstand. We have recently had the wall re-done to expose the lovely stone which was hidden behind render. There is a toilet and little hand basin under the staircase, and the stairs then lead up to the first level.The large eat-in kitchen is on your right as you enter the house - it has large workspace, a stove with one electric hob and 3 gas jets and an electric fan forced oven plus a microwave oven. The windows in the kitchen face the square and we invite you to converse out the window with passing locals while you prepare and eat your meals. Also to using the fold up chairs and table provided in the house to sit outside with your glass of locally bought wine, cheese, saucisse and olives. The first level has a small sitting room with two new 2-seater lounges (1 converts to a double bed) and a bookcase with a selection of reading material. A flatscreen TV (with DVD) with French channels is mounted on the wall. From the window there is a view of the ancient 10-12th century tower (tour).
