Duravel, Midi-Pyrénées 46700

We are delighted to present this unique property, a characterful stone house built in 1766 and completely renovated with respect for its authentic soul. Unique because of the square layout of the buildings around an attractive courtyard adorned with a beautiful olive tree. Truly idyllic. In the beautiful courtyard, the tiled terrace opens directly onto the kitchen and living room through large sliding windows. The perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or an aperitif in the sunshine. The eye-catcher is undoubtedly the beautifully decorated and authentic pigeonnier, which is accessed via a sturdy stone staircase from the terrace. Surrounding this courtyard is a practical utility room, two covered parking spaces (47.5 m2) and a completely rebuilt open barn of 71 m2 with a workshop of 21 m2. This barn has the potential to be converted into guest accommodation, subject to planning permission. The house comprises a bright living room with a wood-burning stove, a hall with a cloakroom, a toilet, a storeroom/laundry room and a kitchen with a marble worktop. In the kitchen there is a baker's oven in immaculate condition and a genuine well, no less than 35 metres deep, with a glass cover. On the first floor there is a toilet, a bathroom with washbasin and shower and four bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. One of the rooms can also be accessed via the stone staircase in the courtyard. This magnificent property has been carefully and tastefully renovated over the years using high quality materials. The house has an insulated roof, double glazed aluminium windows throughout and heating is provided by a hybrid heat pump that combines an air source heat pump with an oil fired burner. Part of the 2 hectares of flat land surrounding the house is fenced and has an electric gate. From the beautifully landscaped garden there are beautiful views over the rolling hills of the Lot valley. There is a possibility to purchase an additional 2 hectares of woodland. Favourable, quiet location just minutes from a lively, pleasant village on the River Lot with a local supermarket, several restaurants and a weekly market. Prayssac, Fumel and the commercial centre of Montayral are also less than 15 minutes away. A rarity with immense charm in a prime location, this property is definitely worth discovering!
