Country house with pool and annexe

Charming 18th Century Cottage in the Heart of Lot-et-Garonne

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Lot-et-Garonne, this delightful stone and colombage cottage dates back to the 18th century—because who doesn’t love a home with a little history? Situated just a short drive from the bustling, historic town of Villeréal, this home offers a perfect blend of countryside charm and modern convenience.

Set in beautifully established gardens with fruit trees, a vegetable patch, and panoramic views over the countryside, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into the pages of a French fairy tale (but with better Wi-Fi). With no close neighbours, you’ll have peace, privacy, and plenty of room to stretch out—and the added bonus of a pool house and guest annexe for when those weekend visitors (you know the ones) pop by.

The cottage itself exudes character, with a cosy yet elegant interior decorated with impeccable taste. You’ll find two bedrooms, a generous open-plan living room, and a country kitchen fit for a chef—complete with hardwood cabinets, poured ciment worktops, a SMEG gas range cooker, and a log-burning stove to keep things toasty when the weather cools. Exposed beams add to the charm, and French doors open onto the garden for the perfect indoor-outdoor flow.

The second sitting room could double as a third bedroom, perfect for those impromptu guests. Terracotta floor tiles, double glazing, and a heat pump heating system (along with electric radiators for that extra warmth) ensure comfort all year round.

The bathroom is pure bliss: a roll-top bath for those long soaks, plus a walk-in shower for when you need to be in and out in a hurry. High ceilings, a large hallway, and ample storage make this a functional yet incredibly stylish family home.

Tucked behind electric gates, with plenty of off-road parking and a carport, you’re in your own little slice of paradise—yet still just minutes from all the action in Villeréal. And, if you fancy a completely turn-key experience, most of the contents are available for purchase, meaning you could practically move in tomorrow.

Come for the views, stay for the vibes. This is the French country life at its finest—done with style and a touch of humour.
