area
✧ 
✦ only a few local villages are interesting (~30mins) thus outings are mainly for nature or at slightly greater distance to quite a good selection of towns, and unlike other larger properties the coast is easily reachable for daytips in just 45mins to Valras/Vias (also kitesurfing)
✦ the town itself is decidedly unimpressive, has passable riverfront with some gardens, but no notable public square nor cafes, and the only pedestrianised area is down at heel
✦ is only notable for its unique disused 37-arch tall railway vi"bessaduct
✦ has a couple of good restos, a fancy grocery, sushi, 2 organic shops, weekly organic market, corner shops, good weekly market, and 2 supermarkets so absolutely fine so supplies etc
✦ for towns Beziers (35mins drive/train; decent, pretty, can be combined with beach), Pezenas (30mins drive; small pretty, lively market), Clermont (25mins drive/bus; meh), Agde/Sete/Narbonne/Montpellier (1h drive, some also by train) thus good diversity for regular outings
✦ for nature there's a good selection if not quite as much as the Cevennes/Ardech nor remarkable as the Pyrenees
tennis and choice of gyms 10mins walk
✦ for hikes and bikes, there's a few circuits, hikes start 20mins along lane (rock climbing not much further), or 20mins across town for several long loops along the river, but better really requires a trip
✦ 15mins drive good hikes, 30mins small gorges/lake (sup/sailing)/forests/plateau, 50mins big gorges
✦ 20mins bus +20mins walk to good hikes above lake, 25mins bus to gorges/kayak
✦ biking has 230km of marked circuits from door and can be extended by train, better 40mins along greenway
✦ via ferrata 10mins drive, and lots of climbing spots
✦ kayaking, fantastic hikes and river swimming by bus
✦ greenway 10 mins bike, for 1h bike to the gorges/kayaking
access is only good departing mornings and from local airports
✦ via Beziers there's very few trains with the last just 6:20pm meaning Paris departures have to be before midday (of which some 2 changes); fridays there's an 8:45pm bus (taking 1h, Paris departure 3pm)
✦ via Montpellier is a hassle chnaging between tram and long bus, the last bus is 6:30pm so latest Paris depature is the same but arriving earlier
✦ Barcelona is just 3h inbound, and 4h out

property
✧ would accept 20 maybe 18
new facades and windows 2009, new roof 2017 (one bit of gutter fallen at rear)
✦ had fire 2013 on 4th/top floor; ads says no floors, but beams and likely quite a lot of surface prob still present thus simple to repair, if worse then stairs would be a problem and expensive but even so not all 5 stories
✦ 1 front window has a damaged brick lintel easily repaired
✦ nontheless new surfacing generally expected and not major cost (likely mostly chipboard plus seagrass)
✦ windows appear to have been replaced not so long ago but could possibly be single glaze nonetheless mostly usable except top floor
✦ works seemed to be ongoing even after the fire
south-east facing front; north-west rear
✦ limited morning sun due to cliff at east, probably only 1h after midday then only evening sunset
✦ ground gets a tiny bit of sun, 1st a bit more in summer
plausibly the extension roof could be converted into a tiny (15m2 / 2.5 x 6m) but excellent terrace with impressive views as the highest roof around(!) having view to the railway viaduct and south down the valley; it's lower level means it could be accessed from the top floor with a few steps,and this could possibly be acheived without the need for scaffolding simply by removing tiles and beams from inside (just 2.6m wide)
public garden just at end of street but meh, also some riverbank but not much nicer
assuming stairs are in extension with a room off midflight
✦ 4th front 2 rooms (with mezz?), rear library-lounge
✦ 3rd front 2 rooms, rear focus-workspace
✦ 2nd front 2 rooms, rear single 2 rooms
✦ 1st front dorm/cells, rear bathrooms
✦ rdc workspace-lounge / kitchen-dining / storage
6 ensuite rooms, 2 basic
✦ min 6 pods/capsules
main building min 70m2 + rear extension 15m2 *5 but at different level!
✦ 106m2 parcel 335, thus min 450m2
✦ rear 2.7m, extension 2.6m (6m deep!), front 6.7m
✦ seems to have cave as well; 2 windows front + 3 at rear (1 in extension) none at back on rdc-1st
slightly absurdly (not) there's an iron retaining strap around the extension 4th floor, however because it's at a lower level this crosses the middle of the window (but they open inwards)
