Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Cestayrols, in the famed wine region of Tarn, Midi-Pyrénées, this charming three-bedroom house awaits its new owners. With an appealing price tag of €435,000, this property offers a rich blend of traditional charm and ample space, suitable for both living and potentially further development.
This detached house, spread over multiple levels, is well-constructed but awaits some modern touches and could be coined as a 'fixer-upper.' The ground floor hosts an impressive dining room leading to a large country-style kitchen, an entrance hallway, and a guest WC. It's a warm welcome that leads to intriguing upper levels.
On the first floor, a spacious salon, complete with a cozy library nook and access to a romantic covered terrace, forms the heart of the home. This level includes two principal bedrooms, each boasting en-suite bathrooms with separate sinks, shower units, and WCs, alongside dressing room areas. Adding a touch of whimsy, both bedrooms open into a secluded internal courtyard. Another room on this level is versatile enough to serve as a study or additional bedroom, with direct access to the delightful courtyard garden.
Ascending to the attic reveals more space, currently configured with rooms that could serve as additional sleeping areas or storage. The converted loft space, with its triple bedroom layout, includes a quaint bathing area, though one must mind a low-hanging beam at a height of 1.5m.
Outdoor living spaces include a private courtyard garden featuring a covered terrace perfect for alfresco dining. Though the swimming pool needs some renovation, it presents a fantastic opportunity for creating a splendid leisure area. Additional outdoor features are two more courtyard gardens, one of which is accented with an outbuilding that could convert into a summerhouse.
