Barou is secluded location on an unmade country lane, yet only a short walk from all the village facilities of Montaigu de Quercy, make the location ideal and with that, the well-modernised house in 2 acres of land snuggles under a south-facing slope with an unspoiled view across the valley.
For smaller families or couples, this is the country hideaway you have been looking for... Don't delay!
Guests arrive at Barou along an unmade track and drive up a short slope onto a gravelled parking area with plenty of space for at least two vehicles within the fenced boundary.
Throughout Barou the colour scheme is light, and there are plenty of doors and windows to keep the house light and airy.
The main entrance to Barou brings you into the large Living/Dining room which also has a wood-burning stove and a convertible settee. The windows of this room enjoy a superb southern view across the valley.
Doors lead through to a well-equipped kitchen, with gas cooker, electric oven and dishwasher, and adjoining this is a Rear Lobby/Utility room with fitted storage cupboards, microwave oven, fridge-freezer and washing machine.
Bedrooms are found off the Sitting/Dining room. and as with the other rooms at Barou, are light and airy. The Double Bedroom has an en-suite shower room with WC and basin. The second bedroom has twin bunk beds and an additional Single bed.
Adjacent to the bedrooms is the bathroom, which has a bath with shower over, bidet and basin, and there is also a separate WC.
The very private outdoors area of Barou is pleasantly landscaped close to the house with a mixture of trees and shrubs.
Steps lead up from the house to the heated swimming pool and surrounding terrace from which there is a good view of Montaigu de Quercy's medieval fortifications on the hill to the west about 1km away. Measuring 11 x 5m, the pool is heated and has integral (Roman) steps. The water purity is controlled with salt. Security is provided with an alarm. The pool heating is included in the rental price.
A path leads along to a delightful Au vent shelter, with a barbecue area built onto the side. This has an electric light installed so that it can be enjoyed long into summer evenings. Steps lead from the Au Vent back down to the house.
The Au vent has been carefully situated so the view to the south over the top of the house is not obstructed.
Further shade for the afternoon is available under the open gable end of the house, with double doors into the house.
The remainder of the garden behind is largely natural, with a couple of benches placed higher up the slope to enjoy the sun and the view across the valley.
The combination of natural vegetation higher on the slope with the flowering plants around the garden make Barou a haven for butterflies, especially on warm sunny days, and several species will usually be seen in a short time.
