About the Property

Poire Rouge, medieval merchants house in Combret, Aveyron, Midi Pyrénées.

A superb family house in the old village of Combret. A hidden treasure in this beautiful unspoiled part of France. A secret medieval hill town with little streets nestling in rolling countryside, houses with the thick stone walls redolent of the Midi Pyrenees. A land with a chequered history in both old and modern times. The secret within a secret is "Porte Rouge".

 

Open the big red gates and you will immediately feel at home. Your own private courtyard with romantic pool and barbecue, lit for late night outdoor suppers on balmy evenings. Large airy comfortable rooms with old beams and an open fireplace, in the sitting room, windows looking onto nearby country views.

An old farmhouse kitchen which whilst retaining its old world style is fully equipped with modern appliances. The house is listed as one of the 10 most historically interesting houses in the village carrying the French equivalent of a Blue Plaque.

 

There are 5 bedrooms, 2 with a double bed (one a four poster), one with 2 single beds and the remaining 2 with beds which can be either single or double. Two rooms have en suite shower and toilets, 2 share the main bathroom. The remaining room, one of the doubles, has a small kitchen and full bathroom en suite.

 

There is an auberge in the village within walking distance. Small shops and restaurants and cafés are a 15 minute drive away in the nearby towns of St Sernin and Belmont, as are tennis, riding, go karting, gliding and public swimming pools.

 

Around the village runs the River Rance where one may fish or swim in clean water. There are beautiful lakes 40 minutes away with facilities. Linen can be supplied should you not wish to bring your own charged at £15.00 per person.

Tea Towels are supplied. Washing machine, microwave, fridge-freezer, gas hob, electric oven, food processors etc.
