About this property

Stone House with Garden and Terrace

Set in an attractive rural hamlet in the foothills of the Pyrenees, this three-storey semi-detached stone house offers approximately 215 sqm of living space and a garden of around 700 sqm. The property is reached by a tarmacked track, roughly a kilometre from the nearest rural road, with parking beside the front door. It is located near Chalabre in the Occitanie region.

The main living area is arranged around an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, with exposed oak beams, a large open fireplace with bread oven and a woodburning stove in the kitchen. Triple windows and French doors bring in natural light, and the doors open directly onto a raised south-west-facing terrace, well placed to enjoy afternoon and evening sun. An adjoining room on this floor is currently used as a second living room and could serve as a large bedroom; it has its own exterior entrance and may be suitable for division into two smaller rooms.

On the upper floor, a corridor leads to three bedrooms, a bathroom with WC and a separate toilet. One bedroom has an adjoining low-ceilinged storage area that could provide additional sleeping space, while another sits partly within the roof space and gives access to a long attic. Shelved storage is also available off the landing. The house has four bedrooms in total, one bathroom and one main reception room, with the additional room offering further flexibility.

At ground level, the entrance opens into a spacious basement with useful storage and potential for conversion to living or working space, subject to the necessary permissions. A garage area with double doors approximately two metres wide is currently used for storage and could accommodate a car or be adapted as a workshop.

Stone steps lead from the terrace to an enclosed garden area, with planted and paved sections and a sunny, sheltered aspect. Nearby, within the same walled area, is a separate old cowshed requiring roof renovation. It offers scope for use as a workshop or further accommodation, subject to the relevant permissions and renovation work. Beyond the upper garden, a path leads to the main plot, approximately 60 metres long and 11 metres wide, with apple trees and fertile soil.

Chalabre is a village in the Aude department of Occitanie, set among the rural landscapes of the foothills of the Pyrenees. The surrounding area offers a peaceful setting between two villages, with the house providing a practical base for enjoying the countryside and local amenities.
