Property Description

Character stone house with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms in a calm village setting. This semi-detached home has a long association with the river just metres from the mature garden. The property has many original features such as carved stone pillars and original terracotta tiled flooring and a lot of potential for someone happy to do some renovations to create a super family home.

The large kitchen, downstairs shower room/lavatory and the living room all lead off the spacious entrance with its built-in cloak cupboard. The kitchen is really the heart of this home with two sets of double doors leading onto the pretty mature garden. The living room is bright and airy, double aspect, including a double door leading to the terrace. A laundry area, leading to the boiler room could easily be separated with by an internal wall from the kitchen (subject to any necessary permissions). Also from the kitchen, a well-proportioned dining room with original floor tiles and a beautiful working fireplace leads through to a office with its own separated entrance from the road.

The stairs lead up from the entrance hall to a large light landing and five double bedrooms, four of which have ensuite shower rooms. Two of the bedrooms lead onto a lovely balcony overlooking the river Dordogne. There is a large attic, accessed from the landing, with window openings above the bedrooms.

Outside is a pretty fenced garden with space for parking or potentially for a small pool.

Bergerac airport is 30 minutes away and Bordeaux airport just over an hour. 10 minutes from the pretty bastide town of Pineuilh or Sainte-Foy-la-Grande with it's famous Saturday market and variety of shops and supermarkets.
