This beautiful character maison de maître style building has been sympathetically restored and arranged as 3 spacious apartments giving the possibility to generate an income.

The spectacular entrance and stunning staircase provide an ideal backdrop to display artworks and together with the wide hallway is ideal for exhibitions and similar gatherings.

The ground floor also houses a one bedroomed apartment with its own separate entrance to the side of the building. This apartment has a door which leads to the main hall so could be incorporated into the main house (subject to necessary permissions). Also on this level is a large storage room which houses the central heating boiler, a workshop and a cellar. The 1st and 2nd floors are reached by the impressive central staircase. On both these levels are spacious 2 bedroomed self-contained apartments with high ceilinged rooms full of character and light.

A smaller staircase from the landing on the second floor gives access to the loft. This space has not yet been renovated but there is potential to put it to a variety of uses such as another apartment or an artists or yoga studio (subject to necessary permissions). The property is equipped with quality, made to measure, double glazing and has oil central heating.

Quillan is a thriving little town with all necessary amenities and is within easy reach of both the Mediterranean coast and ski stations. The airports of Carcassonne and Perpignan are just hours drive away and both are accessible by public transport from Quillan. In the heart of Cathar country, with its stunning historic mountain-top castles, and within striking distance of the borders with Spain and Andorra, Quillan is both a great place to live and for year-round holidays.
