Interior and Garden

Utterly charming, presbytery dating from the 17th century, built with a degree of style and grandeur you would have expected of the church at the time. With the priests long gone it’s know a much loved holiday home, I think it’s fair to say If this isn’t the French dream, then I have absolutely no idea what is!

This handsome stone presbytery lies on a quiet dead end lane, a few minutes’ drive to the thriving village of Roquecor with its bustling cafe run by the amiable Jean-Marc.  Entry is by a splendid ancient stone staircase, which leads into the hall way, with beautifully curated interiors using muted colours, comprising a cosy snug, sitting room with monumental stone fireplace and log burning stove, original floorboards and beamed ceiling, country kitchen with fitted units, original stone sink, tiled floors, beamed ceiling and the most splendid utility/wine cave with a vaulted stone ceiling.  On the first floor there are three light filled bedrooms with high ceilings and numerous period features and two bathrooms.  Top floor bedroom with air conditioning, fabulous beamed ceiling and en suite bathroom, all decorated and presented in the best possible taste, with the modern luxury of oil central heating.

Second property currently being used as a games room/gym but easily converted to provide more accommodation if required, being in excellent condition with a fabulous beamed ceiling and double glazing throughout.

The magic really happens outside though with the beautifully manicured gardens of 2274m2, set behind an ancient stone wall with ample off road parking.  Mature trees and hedges cocoon the 12 by 6m heated, saltwater swimming pool, creating the ideal spot to soak up the rays of sunshine.

Peaceful shaded area for al fresco dining area, partially fenced in so no cause for concern regarding our four legged friends, outside shower room and loo, stone outbuilding with the ever so rare double bread oven.

All set in this picturesque corner of south west France, with excellent amenities close by, and thirty minutes to the charming small city of Agen with its fast ( just over three hours ) TGV link to Paris, please form an orderly queue.
