Villa in Quarante, Herault

Exclusive to beaux villages! In the heart of the sought-after village of Quarante, this charming former vigneron’s house combines original character with a distinctly individual style. Beautifully presented throughout, it offers generous and flexible living space and two courtyards of ample proportions.

The ground floor centres around a large open-plan living/dining room, with a separate kitchen with doors opening up on to the outside space. It also features a study and a guest WC.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and two bathrooms, while the top floor provides a wonderful additional 50 m² of light filled living space beneath a characterful beamed ceiling. With its wood-burning stove, this versatile room could be used as a second sitting room, studio, bedroom suite or a creative space.

Throughout the house, original features sit comfortably alongside thoughtful interior design, including Farrow and Ball colours and subtle Art Deco touches, and offers character, space and a wonderful taste of life in the Minervois.

The two courtyards, which are not overlooked, total an impressive 144 m² and provide a wonderful outdoor space for relaxing, al fresco dining and entertaining, with bougainvillea, fig tree and grape vines adding to the Mediterranean charm.

Quarante is a lively and well-serviced village, with amenities such as a bar/restaurant, bakery, grocery store, pharmacy and its own wine cooperative. Ideally positioned near Béziers and Narbonne - around 25 minutes away - the property offers easy access to the Mediterranean beaches, TGV station and international airports.
