A surprisingly spacious Stone Farmhouse with Guest Wing and Swimming Pool, set in a quiet rural hamlet near Montcuq, Lot.

This renovated stone house offers 4 bedroom centrally heated, double glazed accommodation plus on the lower ground floor an independent 2 bedroom guest wing, or Guest Gite if income would be interesting.

Gated entrance to gardens of some 600m2, with the swimming pool on a raised area of terraces.

Views to the countryside.

The main house has a spacious living room (30m2) with beamed ceiling and fireplace, beamed kitchen with basic fitted units and another fireplace. 3 double bedrooms on this level plus a shower room.

Upstairs is the fourth bedroom.

On the lower ground level is an apartment (45m2) comprising living room, 2 bedrooms and a shower room. This could be let. Alongside the house is a 90m2 games room that could easily be converted to further accommodation ( subject to planning) or used as workshops.

From the front courtyard a few steps up lead you to the 8m x 4m swimming pool with tiled terraces around, and country views.

Taxe Fonciere is approx. 845 euros a year.

Septic tank is up to current standards.

A good value property, in good condition in a country location yet close to popular villages with shops and restaurants such as Montcuq, Lauzerte and Montaigu de Quercy.

The department of Lot is a land of beautiful landscapes and dramatic gorges, slow moving rivers, beautiful villages such as Puy-l'Eveque and Rocamadour, and the vineyards of Cahors - other highlights included the Upper Dordogne Valley and the Causses du Quercy Regional Natural Park. Largely unspoiled by the passage of time, the Lot department of France is a delight to discover and explore.

The Lot & Quercy region in the South of France covers three French departments (Lot, Lot et Garonne, Tarn et Garonne) and is what remains of the ancient province of Quercy, to the south-east of the Perigord (Dordogne).

Situated between Bordeaux and Toulouse the area experiences hot dry summers and cold dry winters. The region has a micro climate that is drier and warmer than the regions to the north (Dordogne, Limousin), and is characterised by warm late Autumn months.

The Lot department is proud of its fine, local produce - from the truffles, to confit of duck & goose, to dark Cahor wines and the goat's cheese of Rocamadour - you won't be disappointed.

Three rivers flow through this department, the Dordogne to the north, the Cele in the centre and the Lot to the south. The first two rivers are generally given over to kayaking and canoeing. Boat trips are more popular on the Lot and provide an enjoyable way to see the villages and vineyards that drop down into the river.

Worth visiting are the medieval centres of Cahors & Figeac and the 25,000-year-old prehistoric caves (Grotte de Pech-Merle) near Cabrerets.
