The cottage is a converted 'bergerie' (sheep-barn)in the grounds of a chateau -farm, surrounded by rolling farmland and sheltered by magnificent umbrella-pines, cypress & other trees which create an attractive Mediterranean-type setting -- a setting made even more pleasant by glimpses of the chateau some fifty yards behind the trees (see picuture on the right). It is very near to the historically important villages of Bram, Montreal & Fanjeaux, centres of religious conflict in the Middle Ages, now peaceful places where it is a pleasure to explore, do the shopping and dine (and of course, taste the wine). The walled city of Carcassonne is just 20 minutes drive, Toulouse 50 minutes, and the sea about an hour. Both Carcassonne & Toulouse have airports, and the rail-station of Bram is j,ust 2 miles. The Canal ,du Midi is nearby, and beyond that the Montagne Noire. There is much to see & explore, whether walking or driving, cycling or sailing.... The large pool (13 x 7.5 metres) has terraces all around with open views but is not overlooked and the pool is not shared with other users. The house has large patio-windows which open immediately on, to a terrace equipped for relaxing, sun-bathing & dining, and leads directly in to the pool ........so children in the pool can be supervised easily from the house or the terrace. There is an attractive barbecue area -- shaded & well-equipped -- to one side, plus an external shower and w.c. There is level access to house, terraces & pool for disabled persons. The cottage has two large bedrooms, one double, one with two singles. The large living-room has a full-size sofa-bed, so the house can sleep up to six people. At one end of this spacious open-plan area is a fine fireplace & chimney, at the other a well-equipped kitchen (including dish-washer, washing-machine, fridge & freezer, cooker, micro-wave, coffee-maker etc).There is a good-sized bathroom with shower, hand-basin & W.C. Although on ancient foundations, everything inside the house is modern -- it was fitted out in the Spring of 2006. And it was done with attention to detail -- for e'xample with access for the disabled in mind ; all doors will accept wheelchairs. There is even a food-processor & a hair-dryer, as well as T.V., video & music-stereo, comfortable furniture in traditional style.............All bedding is provided, with indoor towels, and all services are included in the rent.
