Exciting Stone Renovation Project.
Ref: mc712



The property is set in the heart of St Polycarpe - a much sort after village situated in the rolling vineyards of the Languedoc Roussillon, 5 min drive to the east of Limoux. It consists of a derelict stone house and an adjoining stone barn, which form a single L-shape around a garden area of around 95 mē.

Both buildings offer two levels and have superb potential but are in need of complete renovation. There was full planning permission (which has since expired but could easily be resubmitted) for conversion of the two buildings into a 170 mē, 3-4 bedroom property comprising, on the ground floor an open-plan kitchen and dining area, sitting room, laundry, office or bedroom and toilet. On the first floor a mezzanine gallery overlooking a dining area, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom. There is also a small lean-to, which could be converted into a pantry or demolished to increase the garden area.

The barn features good quality stonework and is structurally very sound but does need a new roof and floor structure. The house is essentially a shell with no roof or floor and you will need to rebuild the gable end wall above the first floor level. This is not a complicated job and will provide an opportunity to incorporate steel reinforcing that will further strengthen the structure.

There is a boundary wall to the garden, which could be extended vertically if more privacy were required. There is also space for off-street parking at the east end of the property.

The village is bordered by a small river and features a Roman viaduct as well as the beautiful church, which is heritage-listed. Nearby Limoux has all the usual shops and services, although there is a school in the village.

The local airport in Carcassonne. It's a 30 min drive to the property and Toulouse is 1 hour's drive away. Also about an hour's drive away you have skiing in the Pyrenees and the beaches of the Mediterranean.
