Village house with garden

Architect-Designed Contemporary Villa

Single-storey living at its most elegant, on the edge of one of the region’s most sought-after villages

Designed and built with great care and enormous attention to detail, this much-loved home is now for sale due to unforeseen personal circumstances. It has been a labour of love, and it deserves to be enjoyed by someone who will appreciate it as much as its creator has.

Architect-designed and completed in 2023 to an exacting standard with no compromises, this sleek single-storey home is about as far from the usual French maison as you can get.  What you get instead is clean lines, generous proportions and rooms flooded with light.

The House

Built just three years ago and presented in immaculate condition, the house shows an obsessive eye for detail and quality, from the underfloor heating (pompe à chaleur) providing both heating in winter and cooling in summer, to the high-quality doors that close with the quiet confidence of a Swiss bank vault.

The living space is a large open-plan sitting area, perfect for entertaining. Double doors open directly onto the garden terrace, blurring the line between inside and out.

The kitchen is thoroughly modern, with a central island, integrated appliances and plenty of room for the chef and for the guests who inevitably end up standing next to them. A connecting utility room keeps the less glamorous side of domestic life out of sight, and a door leads through to the integral garage with electric door.

The bedrooms are equally well considered. The master suite has its own en-suite and dressing room, and two further bedrooms share a stylish family bathroom. The bathrooms are sleek and modern.

The Outside

The gardens are well under way, with the planting established and the hard work done, leaving you the pleasure of watching it mature (and the right to take all the credit). A large terrace is ideal for long al fresco lunches, and the fabulous views across the surrounding countryside make sure the scenery always gets a mention.

There is a garden shed – 16m2 with double doors, electricity connected, plus off-road parking.

Practicalities

Mains drainage, fibre broadband and a low-maintenance design make this a house that asks very little and gives a great deal. Whether as a permanent home or a lock-up-and-leave, it is a rare find.  Electric shutters operated by remote control and an app!

The Village and Beyond

The house sits in a peaceful residential area on the outskirts of Roquecor.  Its bar, restaurants and shops are all within a short stroll, including the excellent La Tête d’Ail and has a lively market on a Sunday morning.

Just five minutes away, Montaigu-de-Quercy offers a splendid Saturday market, supermarkets, shops, restaurants and everything else you could reasonably need. For travel further afield, Agen is 35 minutes away, with its fast TGV link to Paris.

A very special house in a very special village. Viewing is strongly recommended.
