Authentic 7 bedroom House for sale in Fabrezan, Languedoc-Roussillon

Tastefully restored 19th Century, 3 storey, 7 bedroom Manor House nestling in nearly half an acre of mature landscaped gardens with outbuildings, ideally located near all amenities in Fabrezan, a popular winemaking village in the Corbieres.

This fabulous property with turret, offers over 350m2 of habitable space comprising 3 living/dining rooms, 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a developable
2 storey barn, set in a gated plot of 1,700m2.

The house is set behind impressive wrought iron gates and fencing that hide it from general view. It is in the 'Bourgeoise' style, and has been sympathetically restored with taste and style, preserving much of the splendid period features found throughout the house, such as the marble fireplaces, cornicing and original flooring.

On the ground floor, the original entrance doors open onto a stunning hallway, at one end of which there is a sweeping staircase, a guest cloakroom and access to a new annexe, currently used as a billiard room with glazed doors onto the garden and grand windows on 3 sides of the room.

A smaller hallway from the entrance hall leads to the main living room with marble fireplace and grand windows that flood the room with light. On the opposite side of the hallway is the dining room, which in turn leads to a spacious galley kitchen with doors onto an al fresco dining area.

On the first floor, a hallway opens onto 3 bedrooms, 2 of which have en-suite bathrooms.

The top floor has a similar layout with 4 bedrooms and a bathroom. Attached to the house and accessible from the kitchen is a large 2 storey barn with an attractive renovated facade and windows already in place, which could be developed into further habitable space for the main house, or converted into an independent guest house.

Currently, the ground floor area is used as a garage.

Outside, the grounds are planted with mature trees and young saplings. It is largely a blank canvass with ample space to locate a swimming pool, as well as off-street parking for several cars. This enchanting property has been exquisitely furnished and is sold mainly furnished. It would make a sumptuous family home or a centrally located upmarket bed & breakfast/gite in a lively village.

Fabrezan is a popular Corbieres village with all amenities including several restaurants, supermarket and boulangerie, 10 minutes from Lezignan Corbieres and the motorway, 30 minutes from Narbonne and Carcassonne/airport, and 40 minutes from beaches.

Our Guide to Buying a Property in France

1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)

On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.

The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.

Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.

2. Paying the Deposit

Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.

3. On Completion

Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.

During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
