DLB 324 - 284 875 Euros (AFI)

Superbly restored 3-bedroom exposed stone village house with courtyard, open fronted barn, small front terrace and parking space set in the heart of one of the most beautiful villages of the Perigord Noir overlooking the river Dordogne, just 15 minutes from Sarlat and within easy reach of Beynac, La Roque Gageac and Castelnaud.  Excellent rental potential.

On the upper ground floor with entrance from the front terrace is a large high ceiling living room with east and west facing windows, new oak floor and monumental fireplace with wood burning stove (36m2) and a large master bedroom (18m2) with en-suite bathroom with wc (6.5m2). 

A new set of oak stairs from the living room leads up to the first floor where there is a useful  landing space with a rare airing cupboard, two good-sized bedrooms (11m2, 10m2) and a large bathroom with wc (6m2).  All the rooms have new oak floors and exposed beams and are light and airy and all painted white with a mix of exposed stone walls.  

A second set of stairs leads down to the lower ground floor where there is a large semi-fitted kitchen/dining room (36m2) with newly tiled floor and exposed beam ceiling and a south door to the large courtyard and open fronted barn.  Next to the kitchen is a large storeroom with two windows which could be made into further living accommodation (20m2).

The courtyard is completely enclosed and private and there is an access through double gates into the street. 

The courtyard is gravelled with flowering plants in pots and some climbing plants and the floor of the open-fronted barn is concreted and ideal for eating outside in summer or even all year round in warm weather. 

To the front of the house is a parking spot and stone steps to the small front terrace and growing up the wall is a vine and a climbing rose.

The property is currently a primary residence but is also suitable as a secondary home or for summer rentals in one of the most sought after areas of the Dordogne and a very popular tourist region. 

A truly delightful homely property with mediaeval village views, ready to move into, and which needs to be visited to be appreciated at its best.
