Two Houses and Big Garden on Canal du Midi with Views of Medieval Carcassonne City

Comprising three main properties this is an excellent opportunity for a large family or Gites business to be located in a quiet and leafy part of Carcassonne (the most visited tourist site in the whole of France, itself the most visited country in the world).
The views from this property are all south-facing, across the canal (which borders the garden) and directly at the Medieval City itself, its crenulated ramparts outlined against the sky.
Set below the level of the road, the driveway sweeps down and around the first property, a 1920's built 3 bedroom house, currently let out to tenants but which will be vacated upon sale.
This home sits within its own garden of 426m2 with a private terrace to the rear; boasting 126m2 of living space, the rooms are all of a good size.
There is a lounge, dining room, separate kitchen, bedroom and WC on the ground floor, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor plus a small office on the second floor in addition to attic space.
The driveway continues around to the main property; constructed in 1968 this was originally one large house with a small apartment to one side but was changed into two equally sized dwellings in the eighties, offering 214m2 and 211m2 respectively.
The building occupies a dominant position, looking south down a gently sloping garden (5,817m2 or 1 acres) which runs right up to the tow path of the Canal du Midi.
The house takes great advantage of its situation by way of a deep and full width upper terrace with ample seating/entertaining space and magnificent views across Carcassonne, the Medieval city and the Pyrenees beyond.
The first house offers a kitchen with utility room, lounge, dining room, summer kitchen and summer dining area, study, master bedroom with dressing room and ensuite bathroom on the upper ground floor, while the lower ground floor consists three double bedrooms two of which have ensuite shower rooms, plus a huge storage area that could be converted into usable accommodation.
The majority of rooms face south and look down the garden, each benefiting numerous double French doors that open onto a large terrace on the upper ground floor and a smaller one off the lower ground floor.
The second house is smaller upstairs but larger downstairs than the first.
In addition to a large integrated garage and workshop it offers a kitchen, lounge, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, separate WC and large L shaped terrace on the upper ground floor; downstairs there are three double bedrooms all with ensuite facilities, in addition to an enormous games room which could easily be transformed into a variety of other uses plus storage space.
Once again the majority of rooms have full glass sliding doors or double French doors opening onto the terraces and the fabulous view beyond.
The upper terrace offers a total surface of 180m2 with various areas for eating, seating etc including some shady spots; the lower terrace is approximately 44m2, both terraces run t
