18th Century Maison de Maitre within walking distance to the Canal de la Robine, Narbonne ....
Majestic 18th Century renovated Maison de Maitre with surrounding gardens and private parking just a hop step and a jump from the Canal de la Robine in Narbonne and within easy walking distance to the center of town with it's many shops and cafés ....
This impressive residence is at once majestic yet welcoming, a surprising mixture of country house and stately home with a distinctly 'lived in' feel whilst losing none of it's elegance and taste. The oldest part of the house is the kitchen which almost certainly dates back to the 16th Century and is marked by it's wonderful Renaissance windows and ' pierre apparente' including a wonderful little courtyard where you could imagine sitting with a good book or simply relaxing in the sun. From the wonderfully welcoming kitchen one passes into the dining room (where French doors lead out to the garden) and then the spacious living area and office.
The house is spacious enough for anyone wanting to run a small hotel, Chambre d'hote or Bed and Breakfast with enough space left for the family to have it's privacy too. There is plenty of room here and magical corners including a sunny orangerie and small private courtyard off the kitchen. There are two entrances and private parking for up to 4 vehicles. The 550m² of living space comprises: 7 bedrooms, 2 bathroms and 4 shower rooms, kitchen, separate dining room which leads out onto the garden, living room, office and orangerie which looks out onto the garden at the back. At the top of the sweeping staircase is a landing with a comfortable sitting area leading to a hallway and additonal living quarters.
For wine lovers ( the owner is a sommelier ) you have your own vaulted 80m² wine cellar in which to indulge your passion. Surrounded by wonderful established private gardens both front and back it seems a world away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Narbonne whilst in reality you are just a short walk from everything this exciting city has to offer including the Canal de la Robine, the Cathedral, food market and lively cafés and restaurants. Not far from the TGV (Paris-Narbonne 4h30mins), 30mins Montpellier airport, 10 minutes to the beach and 1h30 to ski resorts in the Pyrénees.
