An attractive 18th Century Water Mill with Guest Cottage, barn, mill race and Heated Swimming Pool, in 2.7 acres, not far from Montaigu-de-Quercy in the glorious sector of the Tarn et Garonne.

Renovated and with central heating (wood and oil) and double glazing, this is a comfortable home, needing an internal modernisation. Quiet end of lane location with the gardens all around and plenty of parking space inside and out. Entrance via the kitchen with tiled floor and fitted kitchen units, utility room, through to 38m2 beamed dining room with open fireplace, beamed living room (20m2). Steps up to a bright summer living room giving out onto the swimming pool terrace. Upstairs are 3 double bedrooms and a tiled bathroom. Possibility of a 4th double bedroom too.

To the side of the house alongside the millrace, an 8m x 4m heated swimming pool with generous sun terraces and a security cover.

Attached at the rear is the ancient mill itself on 3 floors, with the old machinery and even an electricity generator. There is a small stone cottage (left of house) offering 2 bedrooms, living/kitchen with wood burning stove and bathroom.

Behind is a huge stone barn. A characterful home for someone who is happy to smarten up the interior, and a possible renovation of the mill and cottage could provide 2 letting gites, for example.

Taxe Fonciere is approx. 900 euros each year.

Villages with shops and restaurants within 5 minutes.

Toulouse and Bergerac airports 75 minutes.

The department of Tarn et Garonne in Midi Pyrenees has many assets, a wonderful climate, cultural heritage, an interesting history, unspoilt nature and welcoming local residents.

Tarn et Garonne is composed of 30+ cantons and 190+ towns and villages all dotted around the rural landscape and in the hills that lead up to the Pyrenees mountains, the snow-covered peaks can be seen in the distance when the weather is good. A charming feature of the area are the historical monuments dating back to the Middle Ages: churches, ramparts, castles, abbeys, and bastides.

Set in the heart of the Gascony region, Tarn et Garonne was traditionally a hat-manufacturing area, you can buy them everywhere still and boaters are still made there, particularly in Sept-fonds which is worth a visit.

Climate is warm but pleasant and property prices are less than some neighbouring coastal departments, great 'second home' region due to the barmy summer weather but also a very popular place for retirees.
