Characterful Quercy Home with Pool in a Peaceful Setting

Property Description

This authentic Quercy home enjoys an exceptionally peaceful setting at the end of a no-through road, surrounded by greenery and with open views across the surrounding countryside. The property stands out for its attractive living spaces and particularly inviting outdoor areas, with several terraces, a large 12 x 6 metre swimming pool and fully enclosed grounds. A wonderful setting in the heart of the South-West French countryside, yet less than ten minutes from the lively bastide towns of Villeréal and Monflanquin.
The entrance hall, where the original stone sink has been preserved, leads into the heart of the house. The separate kitchen has recently been renovated and is fully equipped. A wood-burning stove and generous range cooker give the room a warm, country feel, while an adjoining pantry/utility room provides useful additional storage.
The living room is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the house. Its cathedral ceiling creates an impressive sense of space, while large windows bring in plenty of natural light. French doors on both sides open directly onto the various terraces and the garden. A wood-burning stove set within the imposing original fireplace forms a natural focal point in the room.
Also on the ground floor are two attractive bedrooms with full-height walls and high ceilings. One has its own en-suite shower room with shower, washbasin and WC. There is also a spacious second bathroom with bath, shower, double washbasin and WC. A separate boiler/laundry room completes this floor.
Upstairs, an open mezzanine overlooks the living room. This level provides two further bedrooms, a shower room, separate WC and storage area. The bedrooms beneath the eaves are more compact and are particularly well suited as children's rooms or occasional guest bedrooms.
The house has gas-fired central heating, supplied by a 1,800-litre underground tank, and is partially double glazed.
The outdoor spaces are equally appealing. To the front of the house is a generous covered and tiled terrace, creating a natural extension of the living areas and effectively providing an additional outdoor room for much of the year. Beside the house is a further covered area of approximately 38 m2, currently used as a carport but equally suited to becoming an additional terrace or summer kitchen.
On the other side of the house, the 12 x 6 metre swimming pool sits within a beautifully landscaped and fully enclosed area. A generous sun terrace and mature planting create a pleasant and private setting. A new heat pump was installed for the pool in 2024.
Further into the grounds is a detached barn of approximately 31 m2, with water and electricity connected, making it ideal as a workshop, storage space or hobby room. Alongside it is a double carport of approximately 38 m2.
The garden surrounding the house is fully enclosed, providing both privacy and a secure environment for children or pets. The property enjoys open views across the surrounding countryside and is accessed through an automatic entrance gate.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, everyday amenities are within easy reach. Both Villeréal and Monflanquin are less than ten minutes away by car. These lively bastide towns offer shops, supermarkets, restaurants and other amenities, as well as their popular weekly markets.
Bergerac Airport is around a 30-minute drive away. Agen TGV station can be reached in under an hour, while Bordeaux and Toulouse, with their international airports, are approximately two hours away.
A characterful, ready-to-move-into Quercy home with attractive living spaces, two generous bedrooms and two children's rooms, a large swimming pool and several outbuildings, in a peaceful setting in the sought-after area between Lot-et-Garonne and Dordogne.
