Town House with Courtyard Garden

Property Description

Located by the market square in the heart of the town of Sommieres, this wonderful house is full of character! Overlooking the Vidourle River, ideally situated in Languedoc Roussillon between Sea and Mountain, Nimes and Montpellier, this mediaeval town was first created by the Romans. The charming medieval streets, the town hall building, the clock tower and the medieval city gate are some of Sommieres' many architectural treasures. This town of 4500 inhabitants is ideally situated in the Gard, 22 Km West of Nimes, 28 Km East of Montpellier, half an hour from the local beaches and half an hour from the foot of the Cevennes mountains (Southern part of the Massif Central). You will find all the main facilities in Sommieres including nursery (3-5), primary (6-10) and secondary (11-14) schools as well as several good restaurants, cafés, local shops and boutiques. The town even has its own beer brewery (La Brasserie des Garrigues) that produces a large range of traditional beers.

This house is an absolute gem. It is an authentic old house of 183 m², right in the heart of Sommières, just a stone's throw from the market square. The property is built around a beautiful 13th-century stone staircase, a patio, and a large, tree-lined terrace. It is protected from view. Lovers of history will appreciate its original medieval features, enhanced by a comfortable and very sensitive restoration. Throughout there are original doors, a fireplace, mullioned windows, and stone slabs. Authentic charm can be found everywhere in the house from the entrance, right up to the sun terrace which offers views of the bell tower and the town's rooftops. In addition the property has a garage - very useful for such a central location.
