Najac ,one of France’s most beautiful villages , is less than 10km , and Cordes sur Ciel , voted France’s most popular village is 20 mins drive away .
The house has been recently restored to give a most easily managed family home whilst retaining its original character with all new electrics and plumbing ,air conditioning / heating to all principal rooms , and full insulation to all external walls and loft. It comprises lounge, dining room , modern kitchen / breakfast room with walk in larder ,cloakroom with shower and a further large reception room or 5th (double) bedroom . On the upper floor , 3 double bedrooms ,two of which have large en-suite bath/ shower rooms plus a 4th single bedroom and a family shower room .
Externally , in addition to the large stone barn which would be ideal for conversion to two or more gites , or for the stabling of horses , there is a 12x6m salt water swimming pool , recently re-lined ,and a stone built former bakehouse which houses the pool filtration system.
Being close to two of the area’s principal tourist attractions and just 40 mins from historic Albi with its Cathedral and art museum dedicated to Toulouse Lautrec , the house is ideally located for B & B guests and, after conversion of the barn, for a Gite enterprise.
The nearly 6.5 acres of excellent grass land, presently cut annually by a local farmer, would suit those seeking an equestrian property.
