Village house with pool and parking

Three-bedroom villa with a sparkling, freshly refurbished 8 x 4m pool, walking distance to the town centre.

Just a gentle stroll from the historic and much-loved town of Montcuq, with its fabulous shops, restaurants and weekly market, sits this stylish single-storey residence. You’ll be close enough to the action to nip out for a baguette, and far enough away to enjoy your peace afterwards. Presented in excellent condition, it is the sort of house where the only thing left to unpack is the wine.

Arrival: A gated entrance opens onto ample parking, with room for a garage should you want one.

Inside: The open-plan kitchen and dining area is the social heart of the house. The fitted kitchen comes with integrated Siemens appliances, so the cooking is effortless even if the guests aren’t, and French doors open straight onto the terrace. A separate utility room takes care of storage and all the practical bits, allowing the rest of the house to stay effortlessly chic.

The comfortable sitting room has a log-burning stove for cosy winter evenings and more French doors onto the terrace, for the days you’d rather be outside. Three cosy bedrooms and practical bathrooms complete the accommodation, all in great condition, with oil-fired central heating and part double glazing.

Outside: where the magic happens…

The terraced garden is charming, and refreshingly manageable, so your weekends can be spent lounging rather than pruning. At its centre is the fabulous, recently refurbished 8 x 4m swimming pool, complete with a new liner, new pump and travertine terrace. It’s all done, so you can simply dive in.

The generous sun terrace has fabulous views and plenty of room for al fresco dining, sun-worshipping or wine-related loitering. A pool house adds practicality, providing somewhere to keep the towels, the inflatable flamingo and the evidence of your poor diving form.

In summary

A beautifully presented single-storey home with a refurbished pool, sun-soaked terraces and the delights of Montcuq on your doorstep. Viewing is highly recommended, but do arrive with an open mind, and a swimsuit, just in case.
