Photos and Description of this Prats du Perigord holiday barn
A superbly converted old, stone built barn with private pool.
Summary:
Situated high in the beautiful hills of the department of the Lot, above the village of Concores, lies a superbly converted old, stone built barn, with oak beams, full of charm and character, set in extensive grounds, with fantastic views, particularly from the delightful swimming pool and sun deck, over woods, open fields and countryside.
Ideal for lovers of nature as the wildlife is prolific (binoculars will be found in the kitchen).
The property is extremely spacious with a magnificent lounge, large, homely kitchen / diner, large, sunny bedrooms and with the added facility of a wide mezzanine area suitable for use as another bedroom / study / occasional "quiet" area.
Nestled in the pretty hamlet of Gouléme, the village of Concores is at the bottom of the hill (2kms) where you will find a boulangerie for your morning croissants / bread (a must in France!), a small general store and a tennis court.
St Germain du Bel Air is approximately 5kms distant; a charming village with a supermarket, general shops and Plan d'Eau.
The main town is Gourdon (15kms) which is a medieval market town full of shops, supermarkets restaurants, and pavement cafes.
The property is ideally placed for visiting all the attractions of the virtually unexplored department of the Lot, the beautiful Dordogne region and is perfect for a calm, tranquil and peaceful holiday.
