This exceptionally pretty little corps de ferme is set in rolling pastureland bordered with oak trees, mid-way between the villages of Najac and Laguépie (8 km), both of which have a good range of shops and facilities including railway links to Toulouse.

The property is about a kilometre away from a small village, and approached off a quiet lane up a short private driveway. Surrounding the buildings are 2,200m² of well-maintained grounds including a parking area, a very pretty courtyard garden directly in front of the main house, an orchard, and an area to the rear which would be ideal for a pool.

The buildings, all built of local stone, adjoin one another, and consist of the main house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms, an adjoining 1-bedroom apartment, with cellars below, and an old open-sided stone hangar attached to the rear.

LAND: 2,200 m²

MAIN HOUSE
Stone steps lead up to a little terrace covered by a wisteria. The front door leads into a hallway (2.6 x 2.7m) which is the focal point of the house with doors off to the bedroom, shower room and kitchen, and stairs up to an attic bedroom.

The kitchen diner (4 x 5m) has a roof height ceiling, whitewashed exposed beams, and lots of natural light from windows to the front and rear, and in the roof. There is an old fireplace with a fitted pot-bellied wood-burning stove, and a stainless steel sink and worktop with an electric hob incorporated, and storage below.

A small wooden staircase leads up to the living room (3,8 x 5m) with a window to the front and side, a fireplace with marble surround and a fitted antique wall cupboard.

The main bedroom (5 x 3m) has a window front and rear and a parquet floor. It would be possible to knock through from here to integrate the house and gîte if you wished.

Directly above the bedroom is an area of loft converted into an open-plan style bedroom with a velux window.

The shower room is modern and tastefully tiled, and comes with a shower, basin and toilet.

Below the living accommodation are cellars, one with double doors, which would accommodate a car. Off this is a small store room. The largest cellar has a separate doorway. Adjacent are two cellars below the apartment. These were once stables and are now used for storage. There is a door leading out to the garden to the rear, and stairs leading up to the apartment.

APARTMENT
The apartment has a separate access to the side via a tiled terrace with a bamboo and perspex roof and excellent views over the surrounding countryside. Two sets of French doors lead in to the living room.. A third set of French doors leads out to a separate gravelled terrace.

The living room (7.9 x 4.7m) is a lovely light room with a kitchen at one end, reproduction terracotta floor tiles and a wood-burning stove. The kitchen consists of a range of storage units with a worktop above, a single bowl stainless steel sink, tiled splashbacks and shelving above.

A part-glazed door from the kitchen end of the room leads through to a small hallway with doors off to the shower room, cellar and bedroom. It is here that a linking doorway to the main house could be knocked through.

The bedroom (4 x 4.7m) has two windows, one with an excellent view.

The shower room has a toilet, basin with cupboards below, and a tiled shower cubicle. There are separate hot water cylinders for each living area in the cellars below.

This is a well kept and nicely renovated property with flexible accommodation, from which the current owners have had a modest rental income. You might however want to install a heating system in the main part of the house.
