Description
VILLENEUVE-SUR-VERE | CORDES-SUR-CIEL - Located between Albi and Cordes-sur-Ciel, this 19th-century property is accessed via wrought-iron gates opening onto a gravelled courtyard. Carefully restored since 2022, it features a traditional dovecote and perfectly reflects the charm and rural heritage of the Tarn.
The main entrance leads into a welcoming hallway where several original features remain, including the wooden staircase. The living room, of over 30 sq m, opens onto the bright dining area and adjoining kitchen. A beautiful fireplace with a recent wood-burning insert creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
From the living room, a French window opens onto the large, south-facing terrace, which is not overlooked. This access could easily become the link to a potential extension - for example, an insulated veranda - providing additional living space while preserving the architectural harmony of the house.
The terrace forms a very pleasant extension of the main living area and would also allow for the installation of a swimming pool in its natural continuation, all within a peaceful and open setting.
The ground floor also includes a shower room and a separate WC.
On the first floor, a spacious study leads to a mezzanine-style principal bedroom with direct access to an outside stone staircase. This area enjoys lovely views over the surrounding countryside and complete tranquillity.
The top two levels of the dovecote house two further bedrooms with open views over the 2.3 hectares of land, where local wildlife - including deer - is regularly seen.
Original materials have been respected and enhanced, giving the property an authentic and harmonious character. All windows are double-glazed, ensuring good insulation, comfort and energy efficiency.
Outside, a landscaped area with a pergola, together with a former workshop and a renovated garage, offers further potential for adapted use, depending on requirements.
Set on the edge of a small hamlet, in a very peaceful and unspoilt environment, the property enjoys excellent privacy and the absence of any disturbance, perfectly illustrating the relaxed way of life of this beautiful corner of south-west France.
