Fully Renovated Country House with Gite, Authentic Dovecote

Property Description

Let yourself be seduced by this estate of historic appearance and exceptional beauty, located in a quiet area a few minutes from the lively village of Laroque Timbaut. The estate consists of a country house with an authentic dovecote, an adjoining gite, a spacious barn and well maintained wooded grounds with majestic cedars. Behind the electric gate, a driveway leads to the gigantic barn, which houses covered parking for 2 cars, a workshop and also a space to renovate. Next to the carport there is additional parking for at least 2 cars. On the other side of the driveway is the main house with its adjoining gite. Large tiled terraces surround the two residential units on the south and west side. Enjoy the tranquility of this beautifully maintained park to infinity. The majestic cedars on the south side provide the necessary cooling in the summer. The beautifully restored country house will seduce you immediately. The authentic tower, the high old stone walls, the wooden windows with stained glass are reminiscent of a small castle. We enter the house through a beautiful hall, which connects the different spaces of the house. You will notice the feeling of space throughout the house. The ground floor is very welcoming, thanks to the terracotta floors, wooden ceilings and old stone walls. The authenticity of Quercy at its best. On the left side of the hall is a spacious and bright living room. Through a double door you have immediate access to the terrace. On the other side of the hall you will find a huge French country style kitchen, complete with a large fireplace. Need even more storage space? No problem, behind the kitchen is a large laundry room and a separate boiler room. From the hall you can access the first floor via the 14th century stone staircase which has been beautifully preserved in the old dovecote. You would think you were a noble in the Middle Ages. Take the time to enjoy the view of the park and the valley, before going up to the first floor. The medieval atmosphere is enhanced by the original parquet flooring, which was preserved and restored during the renovation. As on the ground floor, this floor has high ceilings, wooden beams and old stone walls. The master bedroom has a tidy and symmetrical appearance thanks to the two pairs of oak closet doors on both sides of the faux fireplace that reach to the ceiling. Behind the doors on the right side is a large practical dressing room. Also on the first floor you will find two additional spacious bedrooms and a bathroom with bath, shower, WC and double sink. Finally the medieval stone staircase takes us to the second floor, before ending in the dovecote. The 2nd floor is currently set up as a games room, but is in fact a complete studio under the roof, as you will also find a separate sleeping area and a beautiful bathroom with double sinks and free-standing bathtub. The main house and the gite are connected by a corridor. You access the gîte from the kitchen of the main house. This well-rented gite is located entirely on the ground floor and is therefore wheelchair accessible. The relatively small area was optimally exploited; separate toilet, shower room, kitchen area, living/dining room with fireplace and finally a beautiful bedroom with mezzanine. Thanks to the three beautiful double glazed doors, you can immediately access the terrace from each part of the gîte. This small castle is surrounded by a beautiful park and a forest on a site of 2.17 hectares in total.
