The Cottage is created from the fine outbuidings of a large country-house -- former 'château de Saint des Plats' -- about 3km drive from the market-town of Castelnaudary and near the "Canal du Midi" and 30 mn from the Old City of Carcassonne. It is up a lane off a country back-road hence in a very quiet situation. From the shaded outdoor dining-area in front of the cottage there are views across rolling countryside to the mountains of the Pyrenees. All around there are several acres of parkland with interesting architectural features -- the windmill, the stables, classical terrace and pretty facades -- and gardens with flowers & superb mature trees. Yet despite the classical features the atmosphere is relaxed rather than dignified ; the owners (and their children) ensure an environment in which children can play and find adventure and in which adults can enjoy pleasant walks. A swimming-pool is under construction & will be ready for June 2OO6 (commercial photo shown). . kitchen The owners have lovingly restored the cottage, equipping it to a high standard but retaining traditional features -- a quality which is difficult to convey in these pictures (the superb floor-tiles are an example). A peaceful ambience iscreated by natural stone, exposed timbers and the subtle colouring of walls. bedroom The classical facade of the nearby chateau............and a glimpse of the spacious grounds.
