House in Narbonne, Aude

Located in a quiet residential area of Narbonne, just a 5-minute drive from the city centre, this detached villa built in 1992 offers comfortable family living, generous outdoor spaces and flexible accommodation, all within easy reach of the Mediterranean coast.

Access to the property is via an electric gate opening onto a private driveway leading to the north side of the house, where the first entrance is located. Continuing along the driveway brings you to a large alarmed carport with space for three vehicles and two electrical outlets. From here, a second entrance provides direct access to the house.

Entering through the main entrance, the living room is immediately on the left. This bright and welcoming space is equipped with a wood-burning insert fireplace installed in 1997, capable of heating the entire living area within 45 to 60 minutes. Large sliding glass doors open directly onto the south-facing terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen, approximately 10 years old, features marble worktops and quality appliances, including a Novy extractor hood and a Miele oven. Sliding glass doors also open onto the terrace, making this space ideal for everyday living as well as entertaining.

Moving towards the sleeping quarters, a first separate toilet is located on the right. This part of the house also includes two interconnecting rooms. The first is currently used as an office and leads through to a second room, which was originally the garage. This room features sliding glass doors opening onto the garden near the carport, a washbasin unit, and a retractable ladder providing access to the attic space. Together, these rooms offer excellent flexibility and could be reconfigured into a fourth bedroom with bathroom and/or dressing room, or converted back into a garage if desired.

Continuing down the hallway, a staircase leads to the wine cellar. Beyond the staircase, still on the ground floor, are a pantry and a laundry room, providing practical storage and utility space. Further along, a second separate toilet serves two ground-floor bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

Upstairs, a third bedroom also benefits from an en-suite bathroom which includes a WC, offering a private and comfortable space for guests or family members.

The fully enclosed garden has been designed for both relaxation and functionality. A vast south-facing terrace of approximately 180 m² enjoys open views and directly borders the 10 x 5 metre chlorine swimming pool. The pool is equipped with an electric safety cover (approximately 3.5 years old), a liner around 6 years old, a depth ranging from 80 cm to 1.80 m, and a thermal cover to retain warmth. The water is partially heated via piping.

A separate outbuilding houses a summer kitchen and storage space. One side opens onto the pool terrace via sliding glass doors, while the gable end features an opening with an electric roller shutter, ideal for protection from sea winds. The summer kitchen includes a small gas water heater.

Additional features include electric shutters and mosquito screens on all windows, photovoltaic panels for both personal consumption and direct resale, a chicken coop, and a 35-metre-deep borehole providing a constant water supply. The borehole water can be connected throughout the house, excluding the kitchen sink and refrigerator.

Heating and hot water systems include an air/air heat pump installed in 2004, electric radiant panels installed in 2015, and a thermodynamic hot water tank with solar contribution (less than 5 years old). Ground-floor bedrooms without air conditioning are equipped with electric radiators. The septic tank is compliant with current regulations.

A well-maintained and versatile property, ideal as a comfortable main residence or a spacious family home close to town and coast.
