This house is for sale with temporary tenants in it to keep it warm, ready for occupation. They are ready to show you round. The house is newly painted in white on the exterior as it is on the inside. More pictures can be supplied on request.

A large garage houses the boiler for full central heating. A large stone fireplace is in the large L-shaped lounge at first floor level with a woodburner, providing an additional source for heat.

The front and back gardens are quite private and the large summer kitchen is a wonderful bonus for barbecues and entertaining, having a purpose built fireplace and chimney, also a sink and electric points, cupboards and large shelving areas underneath a tiled roof. There are tiles on the floor. It is big enough on its own to create very easily a separate studio if required.

On the ground floor there is also a cloakroom with wc and toilet, and two bedrooms. one has a new vinyl floor and the other is tiled. The house is newly painted throughout in white, making it clean and inviting. The bottom floor could easily convert into a separate apartment, using the large garage area as lounge/ kitchen areas. This would bring in a good income if let separately as it is close to the town centre yet being up a hill n the outskirts of the town and affording views of the mountains.

The solid tiled floors are easy to clean and lead up to the first floor. From this central hallway are doors leading to the large family bathroom, with bidet, shower, bath (in sky blue), a separate toilet and washbasin, the main bedroom, a fully fitted kitchen, and the large L-shaped lounge with a huge stone fireplace. There are telephone points thoughout the house and a fitted aerial. Two sets of French doors lead to a long balcony with a Southerly aspect and which has mountain views over the town.

Beamed detail on the ceiling and double glass doors to the hallway on one side, single glass door on another means it is light and airy. There is another window to the East.
The kitchen has French doors leading out to a small balcony and steps leading down to the back garden and the summer kitchen.
There is a mid-oven (electric) with rotary spit and housing for a dishwasher, space for a free-standing fridge, a part electric/part gas hob, work surface, base and wall cupboards and a sink. There is a fitted broom cupboard and space for table and chairs.

An open wooden staircase leads from the lounge up to the attic bedroom (this could be replaced by putting the stairs in the hallway, above the other stairs), this is a long, narrow room which could be made into a study. It has three windows set high to allow plenty of light in. However there are openings leading to two attics, easy to convert to further bedroom space and perhaps a bathroom. Even the floor of this is of solid red clay brick construction. There is no timber used in the construction of the house other than in the windows and doors. You can jump on the floors of many other houses in France and usually there is a fair bit of movement! Not so here, it is the most solid house I've been into. It's about 19 years old.

Quillan is well equipped with all sorts of restaurants and bakeries, a railway station, shops, leisure centre with outdoor pool (large), tennis courts, schools and plenty of community entertainment in the way of festivals and markets.

It is about an hour's drive to Andorra and skiing, an hour to the Mediterranean and at the heart of the Cathare region. It is close to Rennes le Chateau and a short trip up the mountain road behind yields a superb view over the valleys. There are inland lakes, horse riding, trails, white water rafting, extreme sports and kayaking on the river. There are two leafy town squares with and the large central church hosts concerts. There are funfairs and amazingly good bands on a frequent basis, caves and gorges and amazing chateaus within a short drive. The house is just far enough away from the centre not to be bothered by any noise and can park on car on it's drive. There is further parking on the street. For information check this site
