Accommodation
The farmhouse has a large shady porch leading into the traditional oak floored and beamed snug with huge open fireplace, comfy furniture, satellite television and DVD.
From the kitchen the stairs descend to a hallway and a lovely light and spacious beamed bedroom with glass door to the garden, a pretty bathroom and laundry room with washer, dryer and extra fridge space.
Back in the kitchen we go through a doorway into the converted barn with soaring timbers and huge window looking onto the garden and woods.
French windows open into the front courtyard and with two other large windows overlooking the fields and velux windows in the roof this makes a stunning and light and airy living space with a terracotta tiled floor, wood burner and double bedroom on the mezzanine.
Downstairs from the main living area is another charming beamed double bedroom with en suite bathroom.
The farmhouse is surrounded by lovely gardens with various shady seating, sunbathing and eating areas and an above ground plunge pool for cooling off.
Barlicou is 7k from Montaigu de Quercy, a lovely village with all amenities, a beautiful leisure lake with beach and boating and an excellent Saturday market. The superb mediaeval hilltop town of Lauzerte is 8k away while the larger towns of Cahors on the Lot river and Moissac on the Tarn are both of historical interest. Montcuq, 7km has a superb Sunday market.The region is rightly famed for its gastronomic prowess with foie gras, confit and magret of duck on most of the local excellent and reasonably priced restaurant menus. The wonderful full-bodied Cahors wine can be sampled at many local vineyards and the countryside is resplendent with bright yellow sunflowers and all manner of fruit trees.
There are activities such a riding, canoeing and for the more adventurous parachuting locally.
