NEW ON A stunning Aveyronaise country house
This is a fine example of a traditional stone built Aveyronaise country house. Unusual because it has almost entirely been relocated and rebuilt from part of the original house in nearby Najac, a famous hilltop bastide village. It has 5 bedrooms, oil fired central heating, capacious garage, modern studio and lovely private gardens of over 1½ acres.
It is situated in a peaceful spot only 3 mins from a village with all amenities such as boulangerie, restaurant, school, doctor and pharmacy. The riverside market town of Villefranche de Rouergue is 15 mins drive and there are several other villages with amenities within easy reach. The airport at Toulouse can be reached in 1½ hours and Rodez in 1 hour.
