Ref: OPEN. LE TOURON, 19120 QUEYSSAC-LES-VIGNES. CORREZE/LOT region. Napoleonic Farmhouse, Barn and Land. Queyssac-les-Vignes. Southern Correze / Northern Lot

The property is situated a few minutes from the small hilltop farming community of Queyssac-les-Vignes in unspoilt countryside between Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne and Carennac, both on the banks of the river Dordogne and is set at the end of a short cul-de-sac drive.

The house, built in 1801 with older origins, barn and useful little chicken house form a charming tree shaded cobbled courtyard.

The house is on three levels. The lower level, originally the cave, has a small, 50 square meters, totally self-contained studio apartment with its own terrace and good letting potential. The apartment could be extended to occupy the total cave area of about 75 square meters.

The middle level, first floor on the ‘best view side’ and walk into the garden and terrace on the other side offers, a good sized (6 by 6 meters) living room with dual aspect windows and a Jotul wood burner, also a similar sized split level kitchen/diner with triple access windows plus another wood burner. Both these rooms have exposed beams and new double-glazing.

The upper level has two small bedrooms, separate toilet and basin plus the master bedroom, needing some work, with an en-suite bathroom.

Overall summary. The property is structurally sound with a roof in good order and offers good headroom throughout with some fine beams. The fosse septique and electrical wiring were installed about sixteen years ago. Hot water is via an immersion heater. Gas cooker, wood burners, fridge and the like are included in the asking price. However some work will be needed to bring the accommodation up to modern British standards.

The barn, 14 meters by 7, built shortly after the house is in reasonable condition and could well be connected to make an extension to the house, another house or two letting properties. The roof timbers are in good condition but the roof needs re-tiling.

The garden and grounds. The land immediately around the house, with walnut and fruit trees, amounts to well over an acre and is included in the asking price. Additional land, about two acres including two small oak woods are available should it be wanted (if not we will keep it for the bird life!) plus other parcels of land if required.

The immediate area. Le Touron overlooks a delightful valley, meadow and walnut trees on the valley floor and rough grazing and woods on the rising land, with far views to the other side of the river Dordogne beyond. Betaille a five minutes drive away along the valley floor, beside a stream, has excellent local shopping as does Puybrun and Vayrac, with everything, banks included, both under ten minutes. LeClerc, the nearest large local supermarket is at Bretenoux/Biars, only 15 minutes away.

The area in general. Whilst tourism is on the increase (as it is in most of France) the area remains remarkably tranquil with people still living at a much more relaxed pace than in Britain. This very special corner of France, full of charming and ancient villages, their auberges and weekly markets, remains the true France.

Travel connections. Car. Motorway at Souillac 30 minutes. Brive-la-Gaillarde 40 Minutes. Train. St.Dennis-les-Martel and Biars both 15 minutes. Brive-la-Gaillarde 45 minutes (all with connections via Paris to London). Air. Terrason (?2006) 50 minutes. Limoges 1 hour 40. Rodez 1 Hour 40. Toulouse 2 hours. Bergerac 2 Hours. Coach. Brive-la-Gaillarde 45 Minutes.

Conclusions. A very pretty house in a lovely position in one of South West France’s most beautiful regions, with active small farms (mainly Walnuts, strawberries, asparagus, vines, beef and lamb, Foie Gras and Confit), attractive villages, almost all with primary schools, college in the towns and the Lycee in St. Cere, going to prove that this small corner of this wonderful country is still very much alive and well.

Price 235.000 euros. Approx: £162,068 plus notaires fees.
