This first floor apartment is situated in a quiet road just behind Les Halles in the centre of Narbonne. It is one of just two apartments in a beautiful old building originally home to the Priest of the Church opposite (apparently there is still an old tunnel running under the building over to the Church). Entrance to the apartment is via a shared entrance on the ground floor and up a staircase (the other apartment is on the second floor).
The front door leads directly into the large, bright lounge, measuring 5m x 5m, with a large fire place and log fire, built in bookshelves and 4m high a la Française ceiling. One large window looks on to the street.
The lounge leads into the large, light kitchen, measuring 6m x 4m. It also has a 4m high a la Française ceiling with stunning original hand-painted frieze on the beams. The kitchen units are brand new and modern white with solid wood worktops, ceramic sink, gas hob, electric oven and dishwasher. To the rear of the kitchen is a pantry (2m x 1m) which also houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. The wall adjoining the lounge features an original stone arch.
A mezzanine, spanning 2m x 4m over the kitchen is currently used as a study and extra guest sleeping with a sofa bed. Another mezzanine area above the bathroom and corridor includes built in cupboard space providing excellent and unobtrusive storage space.
Leading off the kitchen on one side is a single bedroom, entered via a beautiful arched doorway. To the other side, is a small corridor (with stairs up to the mezzanine) with entry to the master bedroom (4m x 4m). This room also boasts the same 4m high ceilings and large window on to the street.
At the far end of the apartment is the bathroom. There is a separate walk in shower, sink unit, loo and stylish bath, all in bright white with modern chrome fittings.
The apartment has solid wood floors throughout.
