With clever use of space following the architect-led renovation, this characterful stone village house with five bedrooms has an enclosed garden and a large stone barn. Surrounded by vineyards and oak woods the house is 10 mins from local shops and 35 minutes from Cahors.

The house has retained its original character and its layout is a little quirky.  The main living areas are on the first floor, accessed by a beautiful external stone staircase. An open-plan sitting room and kitchen extend up to the ceiling, with a pellet stove and skylight bringing light into the space. A separate dining room and principal bedroom suite complete this level.
