Rarely is such a property available . An enclosed corps de ferme, located in a tiny hamlet, yet completely private, with 1.5 hectares of land. Located in between Najac, Parisot and Villefranche de Rouergue.
The property is screened from the other properties in the hamlet by a tall stone wall, and the buildings are grouped around an intimate inner courtyard.

A totally renovated stone barn combining the best of what’s new with many original features is located on one side of the courtyard. No expense has been spared in the transformation of this former agricultural building into the most ultra-modern living space. It has to be seen to be really appreciated. The barn benefits from full oil-fired central heating and ample insulation.
At courtyard level: Open plan living space comprising a 55m2 dining area with an 8m2 ultra-modern kitchen area at one end and at the other a glass and metal screening wall with door to an office/study (or possible bedroom) 25m2. Dining area details include original Loire stone flooring, beams, tv area with stone shelf, and an ultramodern oak and steel staircase leading up to first floor, and in the office area, oak flooring and a modern inset fireplace. The office has access to the terrace and garden.
Off the entrance area is located a luxury bathroom, 4m2, with suspended basin unit and bath with shower mixer. Independent wc.
The first floor is made up of two areas. The first is a galleried area either side of the staircase which is currently used as guest bedroom to one side and additional office to the other side. From the office area is a doorway with a short flight of steps which leads down to the master bedroom, 25m2, with feature beams, gabled ceiling and oak floor. This bedroom has its own en-suite,3m2, with luxury washbasin with curved cupboard under, wc and shower.
Directly below the master bedroom, at courtyard level, is boiler / laundry room with workshop.


On the opposite side of the courtyard is a stone farmhouse offering approximately 140m2 of accommodation over two levels. Although totally habitable, the property is in need of some refreshing. Ideal as a guest cottage,having three bedrooms.
Stone external staircase leads to Kitchen/living room, 40m2, with traditional French country style kitchen, original cantou (fireplace), chestnut floor, beamed ceiling, and old stone sink.
Shower room with wc. Bedoom 1, 30m2, beamed ceiling, chestnut floor, built-in cupboard.
First floor: Stairs up to Bedrooms 2 and 3 occupying approximately 70m2 of living space with beams and mansarded walls.
On the ground floor of the farmhouse are two large caves (store rooms) of 25m2 and 40m2, both with stone floors. Immediately to the left of the farmhouse is a stone building housing the original bread oven.
.
In addition, on the lane side of the courtyard, alongside the iron gates, is a covered area currently used as shady terrace. There is also a stone hen house and a working well.

Directly behind the courtyard, facing south, is a large level garden, mainly laid to lawn with part low stone walls along the boundaries. Behind the garden is a large field which is part of the property. This field is currently used by a local farmer.
