Old Wine Makers House

The property has been sympathetically renovated, losing none of its character. Furnished to a high standard in traditional french style, using some of the original pieces of furniture. It is situated in the attractive wine-producing village of St. Marcel, close to Narbonne and glorious Mediterranean beaches (25 minutes). The house is very well equipped, a home away from home.It has been featured in ’25 Beautiful Homes Magazine’ May 2014 where it was also considered good enough for the front cover picture.It has also featured on BBC TV and in the Times newspaper when a long lost love letter was discovered tucked into the cushions of an old chair that was being reupholstered. It had been there for nearly 200 years.
The house is very large and easily copes with maximum occupancy and outside there is also plenty of space. The pool area is nicely segregated from the rest of the garden providing an oasis of calm surrounded by lavender and other vibrant plants. Later in the year you can even pick figs. The grounds of 1 hectare are totally secure and provide plenty of shade for children to run around or adults to chill out.
During the high season, most meals will be taken outside on the large terrace where the big gas BBQ with cope with the task easily.

• Should you wish the kitchen has a great range cooker and the dining room seats 10 comfortably and overlooks the terrace. There are two large fridges, one labelled Food the other Drinks!
• Next to the dining room is the day room with satellite TV, DVD player and Ipod dock are all available and a second TV/DVD player is available in the separate sitting room allowing more choice of entertainment.

Outside

The Property has a very large, secure garden of around 1 hectare with many very mature trees including two huge plane trees guarding the entrance to the grounds which are home to owls and hoopoe birds plus many others. Eagles from the Pyrenees can often be seen from here. Large terraces with a Gas BBQ, Dining Tables and Chairs. Sun Loungers and Lounge Chairs are spread around ensuring that there is plenty of space for everyone and there is a hammock slung between two of the trees for that snooze after lunch. The pool which can be heated out of the season is 10 metres by 5 metres with a roman end which has steps leading to the shallow part of the pool – ideal for very young ones. There is also a safety ledge all around the pool. The pool enjoys sun for most of the day and there is always sun in one part of the garden or another almost until sunset. For children there is plenty of room to run around in the shade of the trees and there is now a professionally built Boules/Petanque court.
