Detached House near Mas-Des-Cours, Aude

Located in a "cul de sac" with no through traffic, a more idyllic situation would be hard to find.

The house has undergone considerable refurbishment with a new tiled/insulated roof, rewiring, new shutters throughout, new rainwater goods and new multi-layered rendering to all exterior walls. No further work would be needed.

The walls are of a considerable thickness, retaining heat in winter and providing a pleasant cool retreat in summer. Heating on the ground floor by efficient wood burning stoves in the kitchen and living room. The upper floors are heated by electric radiators. Hot water and cooking are by gas.
