This house is that rarest of gems. It is a traditional Quercy stone farmhouse of grand proportions in a tranquil, rural position that is ready to move into - such houses are not uncommon. So, the relative rarity is that it still offers huge potential to develop - both in the main house and in the adjacent barn - and this unfinished potential is reflected sensibly in the price. With over 4000m2 of flat terrain (and the potential to buy more adjoining land if desired), this house will allow the well-informed buyer to add value by undertaking relatively simple works if desired. The advantage here is that the hidden work in the main house - central heating, electrics and roofing is all complete and will stand the closest of inspections. The ground floor rooms are full of character with 2 inglenook fireplaces and old style eviers - stone sinks - in a number of rooms where walls are mainly of exposed stone and traditional tiled floors. The first floor, currently partitioned into 6 bedrooms is a large space where a significant proportion can be used without any restriction on head height. The space might be remodelled to create fewer but grander spaces if a couple or smaller family move in. Outside, the 360 degrees gardens are bordered by fields and woodland and the view from the terrace and immediate garden area is impressive and far-reaching.
The property is accessed along its own lane and has one neighbour whose house sits to the far side of the barn. Its closest community is Engayrac, a small hamlet located close to the very popular village of Beauville (approximately 4 minutes by car). Centred on a historic square, Beauville has a bank, 2 bar restaurants, bakery, hairdresser etc and is renowned in the wider region for its weekly night markets in the summer months and for lively broacantes and vide greniers. Engayrac is particularly convenient for access to Agen (20 minutes) where the full range of commerce can be found and a TGV link to Paris. Further afield, airports at Toulouse (1 huor) and Bergerac (1 hour 10 minutes) are within easy reach.
