Le Manoir is a fully recently renovated and imposing Belle Epoque Maison de Maitre - 'Master's House of the Beautiful Era'

It was originally built in the 1830's, as a show of influence by one of the wealthiest farmers, landowners and Wine and Brandy producers - For many years later in its life it was home to the family of the Mayor of Narbonne.

*Le Manoir is the major part of a large former wine estate.

It is positioned rurally, on the edge of a Thriving Village, while still being close to all essential services and the Cathedral City of Narbonne, with its choice of High Quality Sandy Beaches.

To the rear it has a Large Shady Garden and a Large New Pool (With child's security barrier) and Sun Terrace.

It was Completely Renovated in early 2013, and retains all its Original Character and Patina but functions perfectly as a modern and practical property should.

There are 550 sq. metres of Flexible Air Conditioned* Accommodation, which would suit larger groups or 1-4 Families perfectly.......Or you could simply indulge yourself and further relax in all the space and grandeur with just a handful of close friends.

The house sits securely behind magnificent cast iron gates, with an imposing façade of golden quarried sandstone, as is the grand curved staircase and balustrade that rises to the front architectural balcony and terrace.

This terrace overlooks a Walled Courtyard and large gravelled courtyard.

Heavy Full Height Wooden Doors open to the Main Entrance Hall, with it's marble staircase and walls still rendered in the Original 1830's Hand Painted Trompe-l'oeil, giving an aged marble effect.

Either side of the Hall are Double Doors that open into Two Large Comfortable Rooms (Salon and Dining Room), each with High Ceilings complete with Ornate Mouldings, Chandeliers and Marble Fireplaces - This gives you a clear choice of two areas to sit and relax, perhaps for young and old or whatever suits the mood best.

Full Fibre Wifi access is available from this point all over the house.

The Main Hub of the Manor is the newly re fitted Dining Room and fully equipped French Period Country Style Kitchen below .

A shallow Brook carries all kinds of small fish through the back garden, giving opportunities for a Line and Hook or a Bucket for the younger amongst us.

There are many further on site activities including sheltered Private Areas to read a good book - Or just chill out in the Hammock or on one of the various Terraces - Perhaps take a Sun bed and find some shade in the Garden - Why go out and be a tourist...?
