Description
The plot has 3 fabulous characterful buildings on it, all set with 4 hectares of land.
1 - The Main House - comprising an early 19th century, small, stone farmhouse built into the hill with exposed bedrock, retaining a wealth of period features, a charming, covered terrace, fitted kitchen, sitting room with log burning stove, beamed ceiling and exposed stone walls, double glazed with electric heating. Now requiring a little refreshing. As property is built into the hillside, the temperature inside remains steady all year round, keeping energy costs down.
2 - 1 Bedroom Annex - A separate annex used as a guesthouse with ensuite shower and toilet, and a large open living space. There is also a cellar. The high ceilings and exposed stonewalls and original timber framed roof construction provide a magnificent backdrop to this property with amazing views over the countryside. . With the high ceiling this building is cool in summer.
3 - The Barn - Has three sections, one with pedestrian access and two with vehicle access. There is also a secure, locking, remote controlled garage door, and electrical supply. The Barn is situated between the two houses. It too holds potential for restoration and development.
All 3 buildings have vehicle access. The two dwelling buildings have septic tank sewerage and each house was re-tiled in traditional local style within the last 25 years.
The property has 4 hectares of land, about 3 hectares being enclosed into the garden, with two areas of mature trees for wind shelter, and a wide selection of fruit trees, and nut trees, some vines, and a cultivated flower and vegetable garden. Lot-et-Garonne is known for its abundant wildflowers, and this garden in 2024 had six identified species of wild orchid in the grassy areas.
The surrounding area is all farmland, and the property benefits from lovely views over the countryside. The property is situated on a quiet country road and there are no close neighbours. It is a rural and peaceful location with a widespread community in scattered homesteads.
