About the home

Traditional honeyed stone farmhouse set in a hectare of land on the edge of the pretty village of Les Mazieres (there is a green path connecting the house to the village). Ideally situated between the delightful 13c bastde town of Villefranche de Rouergue and the ancient hilltop village of Najac (15mins). A colourful, welcoming home, attractively furnished and with views over the terrace, garden and pool to our own private wooded area meandering between two streams, a nature lovers paradise which is ideal for exploring.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The entrance is via a lovely vine covered stone staircase leading to a small balcony. This opens into the main living area; a very attractive and spacious beamed room; divided into a sitting room at one end with a log fire, whilst at the other there is a well equipped kitchen and dining area. All the furniture and fittings are of a high standard mixing traditional and contemporary. Also on this floor is the master bedroom, a delightful room painted in warm shades of ochre and blue, a beamed ceiling and a 6ft bed. A large shower room and utility area adjoin. Adjoining is a half barn with an ancient timbered roof which serves as a great games room with a full size teable tennis table.
Elm stairs lead to a mezzanine floor (single bed if required) and thence into two large bedrooms together with a second bathroom. One can be used as a double a twin or both, the other is a comfortable twin or they can be joined to make a large 6ft double. There are electric radiators in every room for the cooler months.

Further details outdoors:
There is a large terrace in front of the house with table, chairs, large parasol and B.B.Q., ideal for outdoor dining. A low stone wall with an arched gateway separates this from the rest of the garden; the lawn and the 10x5m swimming pool complete with sitting out area, sun loungers, parasols, badminton and boules. Beyond the lawn is our own wood with a mill stream and stream passing through on their way to the village and lots of room to walk and explore.

Conditions

Due to the fact that we have a swimming pool and two streams very young children do need to be supervised.

Master Bedroom

The Midi-Pyrenees / Aveyron region

The Aveyron boasts no less than nine of the most beautiful villages in France, more than any other department. It is an area of hidden deep valleys, dramatic river gorges ( the Aveyron, Lot and Tarn rivers are all nearby) and also rolling wooded hills and pasture grazed by the richly coloured Aveyron cattle. Conques, a World Heritage Site, the wonderful Cathedral and Toulouse Lautrec Museum at Albi, Cordes - an ancient Italianate hilltop village, St Antonin de Noble Val, Cahors and many atttractive villages on the Aveyron and Lot rivers, are all easily reached. A visit to the roquefort caves, the vineyards of Marcillac and Gaillac or Norman Foster's breathtaking new bridge at Millau, all make for an interesting day out.

The Najac / Les Mazieres area

The castle at Najac is perched high up on a hill overlooking the village and the river Aveyron meandering it's way through the valley below. Fanatstic views abound, fascinating countryside to explore by car, bicycle or on foot - there are several Grand Randonee walks in the area. For the more active - kayaking, rock climbing, riding, tennis, fishing, golf, river and lake swimming and even sailing. There is a wealth of restaurants nearby to suit all tastes; most amenities can be found within 10mins of the house. Villefranche de Rouergue is a real gem and boasts one of the largest open air markets in France every Thursday; the one at St Antonin de Noble Val on a Sunday morning is also well worth a visit.
