Village house with roof terrace and garage

A Slice of French Village Chic – Period Stone House in Red-Hot Roquecor

4 Bedrooms – Private Roof Terrace – Rare Garage – Turnkey Condition

Tucked away on a peaceful lane in the utterly desirable and ever-so-charming village of Roquecor, this beautifully restored stone period house offers a seamless blend of historic character and modern comfort, just a baguette’s throw from the heart of the action.

Wander down the lane (or simply roll out of bed) and in minutes you’ll find yourself sipping coffee at the lively café run by the ever-welcoming Jean-Marc and his long-suffering, endlessly charming assistant, Sara. Pop into the convenience store for your croissants, admire the latest at the art gallery, or lose an hour or three at the must-visit brocante and designer boutique — a veritable treasure trove of vintage finds and French flair. Sundays? The local market bursts with seasonal produce and neighbourly cheer.

But back to the house.

Step through the ancient stone doorway and into a light-filled open-plan living and sitting room, complete with stylish modern kitchen, pantry, and everything you need to whip up a coq au vin (or just chill the wine). There’s a stunning stone archway, beamed ceilings, and a large open fireplace adding warmth and rustic elegance to this generous open-plan space.

Upstairs, you’ll find four inviting bedrooms, with original floorboards full of creaks and character, and one boasting a Juliet balcony overlooking the sleepy lane below. There’s a well-appointed bathroom, double glazing throughout, electric heating, and an efficient pompe à chaleur for cosy winters and cool summers.

And then there’s the roof terrace — private, sunny, and made for al fresco dinners, sunset apéritifs, and watching the swallows dart over the rooftops.

Practicalities? Oh yes. This house comes with the rare-as-hens’-teeth garage, a workshop, and log store, all immaculately maintained. It’s a low-maintenance dream — ideal as a permanent home, a lock-up-and-leave bolthole, or the French lifestyle upgrade you’ve been promising yourself.

Just ten minutes away is Montaigu-de-Quercy, with its Saturday market, supermarket, restaurants, shops, and a local swimming lake for when the summer heat calls.

In a Nutshell:

• 4 Bedrooms, full of charm and comfort
• Large open-plan kitchen/living/sitting area with pantry
• Beamed ceilings, open fireplace, and stone archway
• Private roof terrace for relaxed outdoor living
• Juliet balcony, ancient floorboards, double glazing

Life in the French countryside never looked this good (or this easy).

Come and see it — before someone else does.
