Former winemaker’s house in a Herault village near Beziers

Authentic 5 bedroom ‘Maison de Vigneronne’ situated in the centre of the lively village of Laurens at the foot of the Haut Languedoc Regional Park with spacious accommodation and a barn set in a constructible plot of almost 1000m². This grand village house formally a part of a mid-19th century priory and is set behind ornate metal gates with a shared courtyard to the front. There is one other neighbouring property with a path between the two properties leading 2 rear gardens and the barn. The house itself is on 3 floors and the entire ground floor is a garage. The property retains many original features and whilst parts have been refurbishment there are still some areas of the house that needs refreshing. It would make an ideal family home but has the potential for make more habitable space or create a second residence that would have income potential.
