This pretty cottage and converted barn lie at the end of their own through the forest and offers real peace and seclusion. Perched 350 feet above the River Lot, the situation gives spectacular west-facing views of the river and steeply-wooded valleys. These can be enjoyed from any of the four terraces as well as from the pool surround. The house, with its thick granite walls, tear-shaped local slates and inglenook fireplace, is typical of the region. It has been extensively modernised, retaining oak beams, wood floors in sweet chestnut and old French furniture. All rooms give superb valley views.
The barn is 50 metres from the house and has been converted into a spacious and comfortable fully-furnished and self-contained alternative to the house or an annexe to it. Built into the side of the hill, it has two storeys, both having access to terraces through French windows. A large oak table can seat six indoors as an alternative to al-fresco meals.
The large garden has flowering shrubs and shady seats with views over the valley. There are stone built barbeques, together with terrace furniture and sun parasols for both the house and barn.
The swimming pool is behind the barn with lovely valley views and patio furniture. The area has a fence and gates for safety.
Ancient tracks contour through the natural woodland giving miles of walking and the chance to see a wide range of wild life. The old market town of Entraygues-sur-Truyere is a fifteen minute drive away.
