Property Description:
Renovated stone town house with 100 square metres of habitable space and a cellar of 25 square metres, very favourably located in St Gilles, just 20 kms from the old Roman towns of Nimes and Arles and half an hour from the Mediterranean beaches.
Situated at the top of the town,the house has original features such as massive wooden beams, flagstone floors and high ceilings, which give it great charm and character.The ground floor comprises a kitchen separated by an antique-tiled worktop from a dining/living room. There is a 17th century fireplace and two antique built-in pine cupboards, also a small bathroom with a shower, wash basin and W.C.`
On the first floor is a 30 square metre room with another original fireplace.
A flight of stone stairs leads to a large (36 square metre) upper bedroom, where the beamed ceiling slopes down from a height of 6.5 metres to 2.5 metres, affording ample space to construct a mezzanine floor to make another bedroom, or even a roof terrace. The roof itself was completely re-tiled and insulated six years ago, when two Velux windows were introduced to make the room more light and airy. The house has also recently been rewired and the electrics updated.
The airport at Nimes-Garons, with daily Ryanair flights, is just 15 minutes away, and Montpellier and Marseilles airports are an hour away.
St Gilles is also a port on the canal from the Rhone to Sete, with a lively quayside where boats can be moored or hired. There is a street market in the town every Thursday and Sunday.
Although the house has no outside space, there is a parking area for three cars directly opposite, across a narrow, one-way and quiet street.
