Behind the standard, rendered façade lies a surprisingly large property, teeming with character. The original farmhouse and barn have been lovingly restored and extended to create a warm and welcoming 4-bedroom family home. It is surprisingly light and spacious and there is a good flow between the living spaces and the bedrooms. The accommodation is all on one level but there is room to extend up into the loft space if required. Comprising a main house, a 1-bed separate cottage and a pool, the two properties offer considerable flexibility in terms of accommodation either as incoming-generating propositions or as an excellent solution for extended families. It is possible to live in the main house and rent out the smaller cottage, or vice versa. The current owners have successfully pursued both options.The setting epitomizes rural tranquility, yet you are not far from amenities. There is a charming hilltop town just 5 minutes drive away with schools, a bar-restaurant, a Butchers and two grocery stores, among others and another charming riverside town with commerce just as easily accessible in the opposite direction. Sainte Livrade sur Lot is just 10 minutes drive with its fantastic weekly market and Villeneuve sur Lot, a much larger town, is 15 minutes drive. With some enchanting summer night markets just 10 minutes drive away, a very friendly golf course the same distance away, this property has everything on hand for tourists, family visitors and indeed the future owners themselves.
