Margon, Languedoc-Roussillon 34320

Reference: PFYR-T208975. This fully renovated village house combines comfort with real character. The standout feature is a magnificent period stone staircase, the true centrepiece of the home, leading up through three floors of light-filled living space. Ground floor: A spacious entrance hall leads through to the living room, where a pellet stove and travertine flooring set the tone. The kitchen is fitted with upper and lower cabinets, a sink, induction hob, electric oven, integrated dishwasher and fridge. A separate utility room provides useful additional storage. First floor: A magnificent period stone staircase forms the architectural centrepiece of the house, leading to a laundry room and a large bedroom, the latter with a decorative period fireplace and traditional terracotta floor tiles. A bathroom (washbasin, shower, towel dryer, WC) completes this floor. Second floor: A mezzanine, ideal as a solarium or office, opens off the landing via a corridor, alongside two further bedrooms. The renovation has covered insulation, electrics and plumbing as well as the façade. Traditional features such as travertine and terracotta flooring have been preserved, adding to the character. The property has double glazing and wooden shutters throughout. Flooring is a mix of travertine and traditional terracotta. Furniture is negotiable. The village itself has every amenity you would need day to day, including a café, restaurant, bakery and pharmacy, and sits just 10 minutes from the historic town of Pézenas, with Béziers and the beach both around 25 minutes away. Pézenas is home to around 10,000 people and is hugely popular with holiday makers and second home owners. Known as Molière's Town, it sits at the beginning of picturesque rolling countryside that leads up to the Montagne Noire further north. Pézenas is a local centre for antiques and arts and crafts with two giant antiques and brocante fairs per year, and plays host to some of the region's finest restaurants. The town's weekly Saturday morning market is also a huge draw.
