DLB 343 - 275 000 Euros (AFI)

Nicely situated, 4-bed exposed stone house with around 175 m2 of living space, double garage and large garden in the heart of a pretty mediaeval market town on the banks of the river Vezère in the Périgord Noir of the Dordogne.

On the ground floor is a small entrance from a quiet street leading into an open plan kitchen/dining room with chestnut floor (20m2) leading through to the living room with chestnut floor and French windows to the terrace and garden (11m2) and a bathroom with wc, also with door to the garden (6m2).

An original wooden staircase from the kitchen leads up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms (19m2, 16m2, 13m2), one with balcony overlooking the garden, and all with original wood floors, a bathroom with both full-sized bath and separate shower, wash basin and wc (9m2) and a first-floor living room with traditional cantou fireplace (14m2).  

A staircase from the first floor living room leads up to the top floor where there is a recently converted attic with exposed stone walls and beams and chestnut floor providing a large fourth bedroom (40m2). 

From the smallest bedroom (13m2) there is a staircase leading up to a second attic with beautiful exposed timberwork which could be converted into a further bedroom or an en-suite bathroom.

Also from the first floor living room is an original wooden staircase leading down to the double garage where there is the gas central heating boiler and a laundry area, the rest of which is mainly used for storage. 

The garage has double doors on the street side and access to the garden at the opposite end (55m2).  This property was originally two dwellings and could easily be separated again if the new owners wished to rent out on either a permanent or holiday basis with a separate access for each dwelling.

At the back of the property is a large enclosed garden and one of the largest gardens in the town centre, mostly grassed with a terrace against the house, flower beds, an apple tree and peach tree, a vegetable plot and a variety of ornamental plants and bushes, and enough space to install a pool.  

A spacious property with lots of further potential for conversion or expansion in one of the most popular cosmopolitan market towns in the area with all amenities and lots of things going on.

A nice place to live in either summer or winter... suitable as either a primary or secondary home.
