About this property

Renovated Stone Barn and Guest Houses

Set on the edge of a small, friendly hamlet in the Lot, this sympathetically renovated stone barn is accompanied by a gîte and an ancient pigeonnier. The property offers approximately 206 sq m of living space, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and four reception areas, across three buildings. Its 2.25 hectares include landscaped gardens, a wildflower meadow and extensive woodland.

The main barn, approximately 126 sq m, retains exposed stone walls, old beams and its original manger, which provides an attractive division between the living room and the double-height kitchen and dining room. The living room has a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, with electric radiators providing additional heating. Also on the ground floor are a hallway, a mezzanine area suitable for occasional use as a third bedroom or for storage, a large bathroom with walk-in shower and bath, a walk-through pantry and wine store, and a part-glazed utility and garden room. Upstairs, a galleried landing includes office space and a ceiling fan, alongside two double bedrooms and a shower room with WC and washbasin. Three large covered terraces extend the living space outdoors.

The pigeonnier, approximately 41 sq m, has a ground-floor living area and a large shower room. Upstairs is a spacious bedroom and sitting room, featuring the original pigeon holes and double doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. Electric radiators are fitted throughout. The gîte, approximately 39 sq m, has a large original fireplace with a wood-burning stove, a seating area, space for bunk beds and a shower room on the ground floor. A mezzanine double bedroom is located above.

The enclosed and walled gardens feature mature trees and shrubs, two wildlife ponds with a cascade, vegetable plots and fruit trees. Beyond them are a wildflower meadow, a stream and extensive oak and chestnut woodland. There is parking for at least six cars within the garden, with further parking outside. The sale includes a cooker, hob, dishwasher, extractor fan, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge-freezer, ceiling fan and garden shed. Some interior and garden furniture may also be included by arrangement.

The property is close to Lherm, a lively village with a bar and restaurant, a mairie and a microbrewery. Cazals, Prayssac and Catus are all around a 15-minute drive away, while Cahors and its railway station are approximately 35 minutes away. Bergerac Airport is around 1 hour 15 minutes by car and Toulouse around 1 hour 30 minutes. Located in the Occitanie region of south-west France, this peaceful rural setting combines village amenities with convenient access to nearby towns and transport links.
