Rare opportunity to purchase a mediaeval dwelling, once part of the former Benedictine monastery. The house opens onto a broad stone terrace for sociable summer evenings and the walled swimming pool terrace is both private and secure.
The ancient fireplaces invite you to cosy up on winter nights. Quirky old interior with more modern bathroom and kitchen. The garden plot, a short walk away, offers plenty of opportunity for growing or just enjoying the space.
Just a few minutes' drive from Albi for all amenities and lovely strolls through the winding streets, or a meal with a view of the impressive cathedral. The village is in the heart of an area popular with tourists seeking an authentic French experience: ancient fortified villages, beautiful scenery, great food and wines, local events and bigger festivals where newcomers are welcomed by the warmth of the people and the sun.
As it was once part of the fortified sector of the village, the house has its back turned to the road and the front is hidden from view. From the road, enter the once-fortified enclosure via the double gates and through the covered entrance (room for parking if desired). Ahead, beyond the stone terrace, is a grassed area bordered with flowerbeds. To the right, the front of the house. White stone walls of 60 to 80 cm
