Situated opposite the picturesque Canal du Midi in Carcassonne, this impressive period property offers an appealing combination of traditional French character, modern comfort and flexible accommodation.
With approximately 200 m2 of habitable space arranged over three levels, the house has retained much of its original charm, including attractive flooring, fireplaces and decorative period features. Its individually styled rooms create a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout.
Currently operating as a bed and breakfast, the property offers three guest suites with private bathrooms on the upper floor, while the owners enjoy separate accommodation on the lower levels. However, its generous five-bedroom layout also makes it an excellent choice for a family home, with plenty of space for entertaining and accommodating visiting friends and relatives.
The house enjoys two distinct outlooks: The dining room and one of the guest bedrooms face the Canal du Midi, while the remaining rooms overlook the enclosed courtyard.
Street level – Living and reception rooms
The main entrance opens into a hallway (4.5 m2), leading to the principal living areas and the staircase connecting the three levels.
The kitchen (14 m2) offers a practical space for everyday cooking, while the dining room (13.8 m2), overlooking the Canal du Midi, provides an attractive setting for meals and entertaining.
The comfortable living room (21 m2) overlooks the courtyard and retains the welcoming character of a traditional French home.
Also on this level is an additional bedroom (8 m2), currently used by the owners, with its own en-suite shower room and WC (4 m2). Overlooking the courtyard, this room could equally serve as a guest bedroom, home office or private accommodation for a family member.
Upper floor – Three individually appointed guest suites
The upper floor is currently dedicated to the bed and breakfast accommodation, offering three individually decorated bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom facilities.
Bedroom 1 – Canal-facing suite
A spacious bedroom (18 m2) enjoying views towards the Canal du Midi, complemented by a generous en-suite bathroom (9 m2).
Bedroom 2 – Courtyard-facing suite
A comfortable bedroom (10 m2) overlooking the courtyard, with an en-suite shower room (4 m2).
Bedroom 3 – Courtyard-facing suite
An attractive bedroom (12 m2) overlooking the courtyard, with an en-suite bathroom (8 m2), separate WC (3.3 m2) and an adjoining dressing/storage passage (4 m2).
A landing of approximately 3 m2 connects the accommodation.
The layout offers an excellent degree of privacy for guests, while allowing the owners to maintain their own separate living areas. For those seeking a family residence, the upper floor provides three comfortable bedrooms, each benefiting from its own bathroom facilities.
Garden level – Owners' suite and guest facilities
The lower level offers a further degree of separation between private accommodation and the guest areas, with access to the enclosed courtyard.
The owners' principal bedroom (19 m2) overlooks the courtyard and benefits from a separate dressing room (7 m2) and an en-suite shower room with WC (5 m2), creating a comfortable and private suite.
Also on this level is a dedicated guest breakfast room with kitchenette (10 m2), providing a welcoming space for morning meals and convenient access to the courtyard.
A garden entrance hall (5 m2) connects this level to the outside space.
Practical facilities include a laundry/storage room (7 m2) and a boiler room (12 m2), providing useful additional space for the everyday running of the property.
Courtyard and garage
One of the property's most appealing features is its charming enclosed courtyard, offering a sheltered outdoor space away from the street.
With its established tree and room for outdoor dining and relaxation, the courtyard creates a pleasant setting for enjoying the Mediterranean climate, whether entertaining family and friends or welcoming B&B guests.
The property occupies a total plot of approximately 188 m2 and also benefits from a garage measuring approximately 30 m2, a valuable feature in this location.
Comfort and energy efficiency
The house benefits from gas central heating supplied by a condensing boiler installed in 2022, double-glazed windows and roof insulation.
With an energy performance rating of C, the property combines the appeal of an older character home with a good level of energy efficiency.
A versatile home in an attractive Carcassonne setting
The property's position opposite the Canal du Midi is a particular attraction, offering a picturesque setting in one of Carcassonne's most recognisable locations.
For buyers looking for a permanent or holiday residence, the house offers generous accommodation, five bedrooms with private bathroom facilities, attractive reception rooms and a private courtyard.
For those dreaming of a lifestyle change in the South of France, the existing bed and breakfast arrangement provides three guest suites, a dedicated breakfast room and separate owners' accommodation.
The flexible layout allows the property to adapt to different needs, whether as an elegant family home, a multigenerational residence or a boutique hospitality project.
