THE CHARM OF THE OLD

I offer you this 50's style mansion located in the heart of the Cathar Country, in the charming town of Quillan. 

His style will seduce a clientele sensitive to his particular charm. The distinctive features of a mansion from the 50s are present: an imposing cubic structure with several floors, elegant symmetry on the facades, large openings for abundant light, high ceilings, spacious rooms, a beautiful interior staircase, a multi-pitched roof with a charming recess, as well as decorative elements such as a bull's eye and wrought iron balconies. This residence combines the character and charm of a bygone era.

This charming house offers a living area of approximately 134 m², mainly distributed on the first and second floors. The ground floor houses a large garage of about 60 m² as well as a laundry room. Although the garage does not currently have an interior communication with the house, it is possible to create a service staircase, a space having been provided for this purpose. This possibility offers flexibility in layout to meet various needs.

The living areas are located on the first floor, accessed via an external staircase. Walking through the front door, you will discover a hallway that leads to a spacious kitchen of about 16 m², with a small balcony with picturesque views of the city's bell tower and the mountains. Adjacent to the kitchen, a scullery of about 4 m² offers practical storage space and a toilet.
Continuing the visit, an elegant living room occupies the space with its large French windows that flood the room with natural light. The central feature of the house, the solid wood staircase, graciously guides you to the second floor. 
It houses three spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, and a room that can be converted into a dressing room or an additional shower room.

Although access to the attic is possible, it is not convertible. The traditional frame generously occupies the space, and the ceiling height is not enough to stand easily.

As for the work, the work to improve the housing is to be continued. Although the frames on the second floor are elegant, replacing them could bring an improvement in thermal performance. Similarly, the modernization of part of the electricity system. An overall refresh of the interior could also breathe new life into the home, highlighting its unique features. Fortunately, heating is already provided by a very recent city gas boiler, which is an asset in terms of comfort and energy efficiency (Dpe en C)

Outside, although without a garden, this house offers the advantage of a balcony, thus considerably reducing the need for exterior maintenance. Its prime location makes it an ideal option for a family or even a B&B activity. The walking distance to the city center, shops, activities, market, schools and college make it a convenient and central place, while being quiet.
