Full Description
** UNDER OFFER ** This is a stunning and rare opportunity to own this character property! This beautiful and historic traditional stone property has been renovated to the highest standard throughout, retaining some original features from its early history as a Knights of the Templar chateau. The property is set in a charming, peaceful and picturesque hamlet on the outskirts of Martiel and only 15 minutes from the large town of Villefranche-de-Rouergue, a very popular tourist location.
The property has been tastefully renovated to a very high standard and no expense has been spared on the finishing. The property offers four-bedroom accommodation, 2 of which are located in the tower. There is a large, stylish and modern fitted kitchen located on the ground floor of the tower. The house is well insulated and is completely double glazed and benefits from dual purpose air conditioning/heating units throughout. In addition, there is a large wood-pellet burning stove in the lounge for additional ambience.
Swimming pool with a large terrace which has an electronic cover and has an automated testing set up.
Situated next to the swimming pool is a new open 3-bay barn that has electricity, water and a connection to the septic tank, so is ideal, if desired, for development into accommodation (subject to the required planning consent) for guest/letting accommodation for extra income or for the larger or extended family.
Renovated Pigeonnier complete with the Knights Templar emblem still over the door, possibly dating from the 12/13th Century.
The whole property sits in a fully enclosed garden with electric gates. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with flower borders by the house and swimming pool, shrubs and trees. There are open views across fields from the back of the garden and it is a very private and tranquil space.
This exceptional property really needs to be seen in person to reveal its special character.
