Tucked away in the peaceful village of Fontcouverte, between vineyards and rolling countryside, this characterful village house dating from around 1900 offers an exciting renovation opportunity in the heart of the Corbières region.
Used for the past 22 years as a holiday home, the property is currently habitable, yet it clearly invites a new chapter. The roof has been renewed and the main structure and stone walls are in good condition, providing a solid base for a thoughtful renovation. Inside, however, the house reflects another era: Electricity, insulation and the overall interior would benefit from modernization, offering future owners the chance to redesign and shape the home entirely to their own taste.
The façade, adorned with beautiful light-blue wooden shutters, immediately evokes the timeless charm of southern France.
A house with character and flexible spaces
You enter the house through a small front sitting room. From here, a door leads into a central hallway where a wooden staircase rises to the first floor.
Two steps lead up to a cosy dining room with a tiled floor and a charming low wooden ceiling, creating a warm, rustic atmosphere.
A corridor leads through the ground floor where you will find:
- a separate WC
- a shower room with washbasin
- a kitchen with gas hob and standalone ovens
At the end of the corridor, a door opens to the garden, while glazed French doors lead into a bedroom with attractive exposed stone walls.
A second hallway from the kitchen connects to another bathroom with shower, washbasin and WC, as well as providing access again to the same bedroom.
First floor
Taking the main staircase from the entrance, you arrive on a landing leading to two bedrooms:
- one with a single bed and bunk bed, ideal for children
- a larger bedroom with tall windows and shutters, allowing plenty of natural light.
From the kitchen area downstairs, a second staircase leads to an atmospheric upper-level living space beneath the sloping roof. With its exposed stone walls, this area currently features a small kitchenette, dining space and lounge.
The lounge opens onto a covered veranda, and from here a small doorway leads outside to the garden terraces.
Outdoor living
One of the property's most charming features is its southeast-facing garden of approximately 166 m2, arranged across several levels and terraces.
Here you will find:
- an above-ground swimming pool (included in the sale)
- a raised terrace with lovely views
- a vegetable garden
- a stone-built barbecue
- a small outdoor kitchen
These outdoor spaces offer wonderful potential to create a relaxed Mediterranean garden where long summer evenings can be enjoyed with friends and family.
A separate garage (12.7 m2) with traditional double doors completes the property.
Renovation potential
The house does not currently have a central heating system, and therefore no dpe classification has been established. While the structure and roof are sound, the interior requires renovation and modernization.
For buyers dreaming of restoring a character home in the South of France, this property represents an exciting opportunity to create a personalised retreat.
