Maison Bourgeoise of rare distinction with great potential.
Location, location, location. It is ideal for this B&B situated in the heart of Carcassonne, 10 minutes from a golf course, 10 minute walk from the Medieval City of Carcassonne. All transportation, shops, schools and restaurants withing walking distance.
Of rare distinction is the only description for this extraordinary 1640s built three-storey, maison bourgeoise, with its two apartments and secluded town garden, just a brief walk from Carcassonne's ancient centre ville. It is the archetypal, lovely, French town house, which many seek but seldom find, especially of this quality with high ceilings, parquet floors and marble fireplaces, all set in such renowned surroundings. The house was built originally at a time when this most exceptional of Mediterranean cities with its unmistakable fortifications was reaching the height of its military significance. It was when first class materials and exceptional workmanship were the order of the day. Remodeled in the last century and completely refurbished in 2004, this truly magnificent house provides over 750 sq.m of living space. Its very special characteristics and architectural features make it ideal as a private residence. Yet it offers so much potential as outstanding accommodation for some of the many thousands of tourists who visit Carcassonne all-year-round.
There are five guest bedrooms each with en suite, two of them with private sittings rooms. In addition there is a two-bedroom apartment, currently used by the owners as their private accommodation, plus another, separate two-bedroom suite, which can be let on an on-going basis or as a deluxe gîte. The beautifully landscaped, secluded garden complements this unique property providing a perfect summer kitchen and Barbeque for relaxation or entertaining. Overlooking it, on a raised terrace, is a solarium with adjacent spa room and jacuzzi. Carcassonne is, indeed, an exceptional city in every way. It is France's second most popular visitor destination with over 3 million tourists each year. As well as its historic splendour the Canal du Midi is a major attraction with its variety of boating activities. So, as its airport grows more and more popular with flights to and from many European airports plus the close proximity of Narbonne's high speed rail connection, there's great potential for properties in this most popular of French cities.
