The Property: Originally a farmhouse, dating from around 1850, the property is stone-built, with exposed beams throughout. It has been lovingly restored to provide a spacious, comfortable home, while preserving all the rustic charm of the original. It provides almost 3,000 sq. ft. (270m²) of living space on ¾ acre (2790m²) of land, and is laid out as follows:

• The main house. On the ground floor: an oak-fitted, 266 sq. ft. kitchen, with utility room giving onto a lovely 340 sq. ft. covered terrace; a spacious (480 sq. ft.) living-room with walk-in Inglenook fireplace, and french-doors leading to a large terrace overhanging the valley; master bedroom with fireplace, en-suite bathroom, 4m of built-in oak-fronted wardrobes, and a french door giving access to its own terrace. On the first floor: a second bedroom (currently used as an artist's studio), with a large 3-sided dormer-window giving gorgeous views across the valley, with an en-suite WC and an office-area, currently used as a dressing-room.
• A 2 bedroomed gîte, or guest appartment, with its own private entrance living-room with open-plan fitted kitchen, dining area, bathroom and independant west-facing terrace. The current owners have successfully let this for the last 10 years, with revenue averaging £6,700 from an average of 17 weeks let per year. For more, see the gite page.
• A huge studio (576 sq. ft.) serving as a 5th bedroom above the gîte, accessible both from inside the main house and via a charming wooden staircase & balcony from the outside.
• A 40 by 20 foot swimming pool, and pool-house, built in 2001, with its own fitted kitchen, WC, and dining-area, with fabulous views across to the imposing granite cliffs of the Lot valley.

The property was re-wired and thoroughly insulated in the year 2000, and now profits from a respectable ergonomic profile. Central-heating is solid-fuel, with three independent zones - the main house, the gîte, and the studio above. Hot water is provided by a heat-exchanging water-heater, installed in 2011. Drainage is currently to a septic tank, but the local commune are planning to install mains drainage in the near future.
