La Roque is a beautifully restored stone farmhouse in the Quercy Blanc in

South-West France.  Part of the Lot, it is an area of unspoilt natural beauty with limestone plateaux, wooded hills and lush valleys.   La Roque is ideally placed for exploring the area’s picturesque villages and medieval bastide towns, its beautiful chateaux and the Cahors vineyards.   Situated in 40 acres of garden, meadow and wooded hillside and close to three medieval villages, La Roque is perfect for those who enjoy walking and the countryside, good food and wine, or just lazing in the sun by the swimming pool.   The house is approached up a no-through lane, which leads to a tiny farm hamlet.   The property overlooks its own tranquil meadow and valley and is private but not isolated.  The farmhouse and adjacent barns date from the early 19th century and have been fully restored to a high standard.   La Roque is full of character and charm and retains much of its period detail, with original terracotta tiles, beams and stone walls.  The house is comfortably furnished in period style and has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, sleeping a maximum of 8.

  The main entrance to the house leads in to a sunny hall and study/sitting room with a   TV   +DVD player to watch films. There are French doors leading out to a small covered terrace. The double-height beamed sitting room is light and spacious, with windows on three sides and it has a magnificent  stone fireplace and comfortable seating. A door leads out to the ‘bolet’, or covered terrace, which overlooks a walled courtyard and a large Quercy barn.   It is the perfect place to enjoy a lazy breakfast in the early morning sun or a shady meal later in the day.The large kitchen is well equipped with an oak table seating 8, an electric hob and oven, a dishwasher, a microwave, kettle and an extra large fridge/ freezer. A utility room is accessed from the side of the entrance steps, where the washing machine and tumble drier are to be found.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom (1) has a 6-foot bed and has wonderful views to the south and west, with French doors which open on to a balcony. The en-suite shower room (1) has twin basins and a good-sized shower and W/C. There are two further bedrooms, one with twin beds (2) and the other bedroom (3) with a large double bed, and a family bathroom (2), which has a bath with overhead shower, basin and W/C.   There is an additional large shower room (3) and W/C on the ground floor.  The fourth bedroom (4) is situated in the adjacent converted small barn, which is now a separate ‘maison d’amis’ with twin beds and an en-suite shower room (4).

  Outside the house is surrounded by lawns and terraces planted with lavender, box hedges and flowering shrubs. There is a large fig tree and a mature grapevine, as well as numerous ornamental trees. The south-facing swimming pool, which measures 11m X 5 m, is one depth throughout (1.5m).   and has lovely views and enjoys sun all day long. It is surrounded by a paved terrace and has both an alarm and an automatic electric cover.  Above the pool is a summer kitchen with a fridge, a sink and a barbeque, ideal for preparing a cool drink or a simple lunch.It also provides a shady place to sit in the heat of the summer.   The large Quercy barn is equipped with table tennis and other games. A leafy track behind the house leads to further woods and fields, where there are old vines and truffle oaks.   A leisurely walk here is the perfect way to explore both the local countryside and the abundant flora and fauna.
