Laurens was first recorded in the 12 century. The village flourished from the many bountiful vineyards that surround it. Also from the unique, black marble which was mined in the area.

Before modern transport, horses served a crucial part of the social and economic infrastructure of the region. You’Ll see evidence of this in a moment.......

The charming village house is spacious and bright. It retains some of the original features but benefits from new fixtures and fittings.

Currently a holiday home, this house could be an extremely comfortable family home.

There is a massive garage space with an area for a cellar and workshop. Here you will find original drinking troughs for the horses.

Adjacent to this is the front door and an attractive entrance hall. The solid staircase sweeps up to the first floor living room complete with a working fireplace

The dining room is next door. It has a decorative black marble fireplace and is a good size for entertaining. It adjoins a good sized kitchen with a pantry.

On this floor there is a large double bedroom, bathroom and Wc. There is also a single bedroom currently being used as a home office.

The next level up, the roof terrace is a favourite feature. It’S large - 30m2 , with views across the rooftops to the hills. It’S high up, so it’s not overlooked and quite private. There’S a summer kitchen, so breakfast, dining and entertaining outside couldn’t be easier.

On this level there is also a living room, a large bedroom with shower room & wc.

Bustling Beziers is nearby and Bédarieux is short trip into the hills. Here, we are in the world renowned Faugères wine area - some of France’s finest wineries are on the doorstep.
