Country House with land and pool

Overview

A charming, double-storey country home, skilfully modernised to a high standard.  Swimming pool with a tiled surround and a well preserved traditional stone barn, with oak floors and fully intact roof timbers. Perfect for restoration to a living space. There is a second, smaller timber barn and a gravelled entertainment area with timbered, raised vegetable or flower beds. The property is set in 1.5 ha along a quiet country lane.

Interior and Garden

This property is substantial and versatile. It could be a comfortable family home or a spacious holiday house with plenty of room for guests. From a tidy gravelled area the front door opens into one of the two sitting rooms. To the left is an en-suite bedroom, while the right opens into the generous kitchen- dining space filled with light. This is the heart of the home, a welcoming space which itself opens onto a large terrace the full width of the house overlooking the grounds.

The second floor has a striking bedroom with windows on two walls allowing more light to flood in. Here, too, is a second sitting room with a woodstove, The landing on this floor leads to a second generous terrace. The third en-suite bedroom on the second floor has a television point, superb modern bathroom and great views.

Porcelain tiled floors, electric heating, oak floors upstairs and modern, double glazed windows and doors make the house cosy in the winter.   This is a ready-to-move-into home ideal for anyone looking to relax immediately without the hassle of refurbishment, repair or restoration. Relax and unwind.

The gently-sloping field in front of the house has huge potential for an owner keen on putting their own imprint on the property. The area could become a lovely parkland, with wide views down to woodland.  The land is currently used for horses as it has its own water source, and the small barn is ideally placed to convert to stables.

The area

This house is just outside a calm, picturesque village centred on a twelfth century fortified castle. The property is along a lane giving privacy and quiet. The fields and woods around the property immediately invoke the bucolic charm and peace of the French countryside. The towns of Moissac and Valence d’Agen, with their bars, restaurants, shops, schools, medical centres and classical Quercy architecture are within easy driving distance. Both towns still have superb markets each week.   Toulouse Airport is an hour and 20 minutes away.
