Historic 16th Century townhouse in centre of Narbonne

Historic, newly renovated townhouse for sale in the heart of the Mediterranean city of Narbonne, offering approximately 87m² of habitable space, comprising 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a courtyard garden and a terrace, located in a quiet street within 500m of the renowned ‘Les Halles’ and the Canal du Robine. This historic property, built in 1597, was once the home of one of 4 ‘Consuls’ who governed Narbonne in the 16th and 17th centuries. It has been modernized to create 2 apartments, one which is habited by the owners and another which is a rental unit. Whilst contemporary in its renovation, the property retains some of the original features of the building, including an amazing 4m high stone fireplace. The unassuming original stone street façade opens onto a common entrance hall with access to both apartments. In the owner’s apartment, one enters onto a hallway, off which there is a contemporary bathroom. The hallway continues onto an open plan living room with a fitted kitchen/diner. Glazed doors from the kitchen open onto a secluded and intimate courtyard garden with decked outdoor seating area and a graveled courtyard featuring a 17th century stone plaque. The raised bedroom is just off the living room. The rental apartment is on the upper floor, accessed from the entrance hallway via a separate hall and staircase. One enters onto an open plan room which is dominated by a magnificent original stone fireplace at one end of the room. Off this room is the kitchen, the first bedroom and a bathroom. Glazed doors from the living room open onto a sunny and private terrace. Also from the living room, stairs lead to a mezzanine floor, where there is another bedroom with office space, looking onto the fireplace. This brand-new renovation is ready to move into and generate an income from day one. Equally it could be reintegrated to form a single dwelling, if desired. An exciting and rare find!
