The Region
The Pyrenees Orientales Departement of France is the most southerly of all
French mainland departments and has a climate much sought after by many
nationalities. Its capital city is Perpignan, which is renowned for its
garnets. Perpignan airport is served by Ryanair, Flybe and Air France.
Perpignan main-line railway station is on the TGV link and can be reached
from London Waterloo in less than 11 hours.

Property Location
The property is situated in the Catalan village of Palau del Vidre which
nestles near the foothills of the Alberes - the easternmost slopes of the
Pyrenees, just 25km south of Perpignan. The Spanish border is a
twenty-five minute drive. The beautiful Mediterranean beaches of Argeles
sur Mer, Banyuls and Collioure are just 7 km.
Palau del vidre itself has all local amenities, including an infant
school. Supermarkets are less than 10mins drive. Palau has a renowned
annual glass festival. The house is located at the eastern entrance to the
village and is ready to move into.

Built in 1964 the two-storey, semi-attached property has more than 206m2
habitable living accommodation set on 485m2 of land. The accommodation
comprises:�

Ground floor (laid with ceramic tiles/carpet)
Twin double-glazed windows give a sunny interior to the large sitting-room
with direct garden access; large kitchen/diner with new fitted kitchen
units; 2 double bedrooms; large modern luxury bathroom with modern
fittings + secluded WC; store room/utility area; small storage cupboard.

First floor (laid with marble tiles throughout)
Entrance vestibule; large landing; double bedroom No.3 with built-in
wardrobes; double bedroom No.4 with built-in wardrobes; shower room with
vanity unit; separate tiled WC; double bedroom No.5, (currently used as a
kitchen/diner for holiday guests), with built-in cupboards; large
lounge/diner with open fire-place (or bedroom No.6) with French windows
opening onto a Juliet balcony. In the roof there is a further 80m2 of
space which if converted, could create a further 3 rooms and take
advantage of the stunning views of the Alberes hills.

Outside:
The small garden at the front of the property has an orange tree, a
grapefruit tree, jasmine, lonicera and various other shrubs. The rest of
the garden has a variety of apples and vines, shrubs and
Mediterranean-type fruit trees including orange, grapefruit, olive,
pomegranate. There is a large wooden-decked patio area (6mx4m) immediately
outside the rear door. The property benefits from a 4.6m diameter
above-ground swimming pool, further decked for sunbathing and screened for
privacy.

Parking:
There is off-road parking for two vehicles + trailer or boat. There is
plenty of space to build a double-garage if desired.

Potential
The property is suitable as a large family home, as it is at present, a
family home with separate accommodation for a relative; shared holiday
home, or house with income. The proximity of the Mediterranean beaches,
the Pyrenees and Spain, together with its village site makes it ideal for
seasonal lets, or the development of a B&B business for those so inclined.
In previous years, the current owners have let the first floor of the
house as a holiday apartment during July and August at �550 per week.
