Townhouse with Spectacular Views over Unesco World Heritage Site

Property Description

Directly facing the spectacular ramparts and towers of the Cite de Carcassonne, this elegant townhouse enjoys a rare and privileged position in Carcassonne. Set on a quiet street within walking distance of both the town centre and the medieval quarter, it benefits from a south-facing walled garden offering privacy, sunshine and tranquillity. The property is attached on one side only, with a discreet neighbouring building that does not overlook the house or garden.

Arranged over three levels, the home blends refined contemporary finishes with classic French character. On the garden level, an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space opens through original French doors onto a shaded outdoor dining area and a summer kitchen—ideal for entertaining. The garden is attractively landscaped yet easy to maintain, perfect for those who enjoy outdoor space without heavy upkeep and particularly appealing as a holiday home. The kitchen centres on an iconic Lacanche range, while a cosy TV snug, separate laundry and storage room, plus a guest WC and washroom complete this floor.

The first floor, also accessible from the north-facing street, offers a generous south-facing bedroom with en suite bathroom, a bright office or study, and an additional north-facing bedroom. On the top floor, a principal south-facing bedroom is accompanied by a large modern shower room with WC, and a further well-proportioned north-facing bedroom.
Ideal for a couple or family seeking town living without sacrificing calm, this property stands out for its light-filled interiors, exceptional outlook and prime yet peaceful location. With Carcassonne’s rich heritage, vibrant cultural scene and consistently strong property market, it represents both a beautiful residence and an excellent long-term investment opportunity.

Carcassonne is well connected and easy to access year-round. The town has its own airport with regular national and international flights, direct rail services linking to Toulouse and the Mediterranean coast, and convenient road access via the A61 motorway corridor. Beyond the historic Cite de Carcassonne, the area offers a wide range of activities including walking and cycling routes, river sports, vineyards and wine tasting, as well as boating along the nearby Canal du Midi. Cultural festivals, restaurants and markets contribute to lively year-round appeal.
