Some houses are simply visited… others are truly experienced. This is one of them.

Nestled in the charming village of Courniou, in the beautiful Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park, this delightful 1826 former convent offers approximately 170 m² of living space, combining authentic French character with generous accommodation and exciting potential.

Behind its traditional stone walls lies a warm and welcoming home full of charm, featuring exposed beams, original terracotta floor tiles, beautiful fireplaces and spacious rooms filled with natural light.

The ground floor offers a comfortable living room with a pellet stove, a master bedroom with en-suite shower room and direct access to the garden, a utility room and a 21 m² garage with an electric door.

Upstairs, you will find two further bedrooms, a family bathroom with both bath and shower, and a cosy sitting area featuring a wood-burning fireplace with insert, perfect for relaxing during the cooler months.

On the top floor, a 53 m² attic provides wonderful potential to create additional bedrooms, a studio, an artist's workshop, a games room or even independent guest accommodation (subject to any necessary permissions).

Outside, the property enjoys a lovely terrace overlooking a 450 m² enclosed and mature garden, offering a peaceful setting for outdoor dining, gardening or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.
