Albi, Midi-Pyrénées 81000

AGENCE HAMILTON CORDES-SUR-CIEL ESTATE AGENCY INVITES YOU TO DISCOVER THIS EXCLUSIVE LISTING: SAINT-CROIX (NEAR ALBI) - Located approximately 10 km from Albi, this stone property is one of the oldest buildings in what was historically known as Saint-Benoît. It has belonged to the same family for several generations, who have maintained and updated it over time while preserving its original character and heritage features. Set within the former courtyard, the house benefits from a terrace and a generous swimming pool, built on what was once the family kitchen garden. Access is available via the carriage entrance from the street, although the main entrance is reached via the secluded terrace away from the road. On the ground floor, to the right of the entrance, lies a sitting room featuring an impressive open fireplace. To the left, the living area combines the kitchen and dining room, fitted with a second fireplace. On the first floor, the landing opens onto a mezzanine leading to a first bedroom. A hallway then serves two further bedrooms, a shower room, a separate WC and a family bathroom. The loft space provides a substantial footprint, though the ridge height is insufficient to allow conversion into habitable living accommodation. An adjoining outbuilding houses a larder and a utility room. The property retains numerous period features, including original stone walls, fireplaces, a carriage door, a bread oven, and a layout structured around the former agricultural courtyard. While immediately habitable, the house would benefit from updating to bring it up to modern comfort and energy performance standards. Double glazing is currently being installed in a number of the window frames. An ideal opportunity for a principal residence or a family home, suited to buyers looking to preserve character features while pursuing further improvement.
