The house is about six miles from the village of Entraygues-Sur-Truyere, which is a very pretty village on a river with a medieval centre, a castle, a bank, post office, small supermarket, a few cafes and restaurants, the usual collection of butchers bakers and
ironmongers, a campsite, outdoor swimming pool and an infant and primary school. It is also well-known as a friendly place.

For a big supermarket and building supplies you go to Espalion, about half an hour's drive away. Rodez, with Ryanair flights from Stansted is an hour and a half.

The house is in a U shape, with one third being the house (renovated) and the other two thirds are barns which are solid but which need complete renovation if you want to live in them. There is a courtyard in the U which faces southwest, has a gorgeous view and gets the most amazing sunsets.

We have laid all the pipework for central heating, including underfloor heating in the kitchen - a boiler and radiators need to be put in. For a summer house, it's fine as it is. There is a big open fire in the living room.

The garden is on a fairly serious slope but there is a flat bit at the bottom which the estate agent assured us is 'piscinable' ie you could get a swimming pool on it .

The house is part of a hamlet called Encassagnes, which is marked on large-scale maps.

The house has double glazed windows, roof insulation, electric hot water tank, bottled gas cooker, septic tank. A phone line comes to next door.
