Buy a beautiful gite with pool in the
South of France
A
wonderful opportunity in the South of France
A stunning riverside house in excellent condition and full of original features. Currently being used as a profitable Bed & Breakfast (Chambre d'Hote) business the house (with 10 double bedrooms, most ensuite), would also make a fantastic large family home.
Property Description
The approach to the
property is along a pretty tree-lined path which leads to a large terrace and
seating area directly in front of the house.
• The front door opens on to a spacious and light corridor off which the dining
room, kitchen and lounge are to be found. Beyond the lounge (and with its own
external entrance) is a self-contained 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen area and
bathroom.
• On the first floor there are four double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, one
of which has a large roof terrace.
• The second floor lends itself to being either B&B accommodation or a
self-contained two double bedroom apartment, sharing a bathroom and kitchen
area.
• The lower ground floor contains the owners' accommodation, comprising two
double bedrooms, a good sized bathroom and kitchen/dining room/lounge with
French doors opening out on to the garden.
• The garden is almost two acres in size and comprises a mix of established
planted areas with lawn. There is a fully fenced (required by law) tiled
swimming pool measuring 12m x 6m, surrounded by a wide lounging area for
sunbathing. The driveway leads to a large parking area with turning circle.
The property is situated just outside the walls of Villefranche-de-Conflent, a
magnificent 11th Century fortified village voted one of the top hundred most
beautiful in France. Close by (but far enough away to not be a nuisance) is
Villefranche train station from where the famous 'Train Jaune' sets off on its'
impressive journey through the mountains; more mundane (but useful) trains to
Perpignan also leave from here, taking approximately 40 minutes to get to this
wonderful capital of French Catalonia. Hundred's of thousands of tourists flock
to this area each year, drawn by the wonderful countryside and all the
activities on offer - from skiing (40 minutes) in the winter time, to hiking,
canyoning, climbing, mountain biking etc in the warmer months. The area is known
to receive the most days of sunshine in the whole of France - 320 out of 365
(that's nearly 88% of the time), while at an altitude of only 330m above sea
level the climate is temperate and below the snow line. Perpignan and the
beaches of the Mediterranean are under 40 minutes drive to the east, while
French Pyrennean ski resorts such as Les Angles and Font Romeu are 40 minutes to
the west.
As an investment opportunity this property is second to none - the current
owners admit that they have not yet exploited the full potential of the business
and yet still see a handsome return; it would not take too much additional work
to increase this revenue substantially.
