DLB 347 - 318 000 Euros (AFI)

Beautifully restored, spacious and light exposed stone house dating from 1690 with around 120 m2 of living space, garage, parking for 2 cars and pretty terraced gardens set high up in the heart of a quiet but dynamic and friendly village with lovely views between Les Eyzies and Le Bugue in the Pérogord Noir of the Dordogne.

The property has been recently restored by the current owners and consists of a cosy living room with monumental fireplace, old stone sink, exposed walls and beams and tiled floor (28m2), an east facing kitchen/breakfast room with fitted units, pine floor and exposed beams (16m2) and a south-facing dining room with chestnut floor and door to a covered terrace with superb views (20m2).

Wooden stairs from the living room lead up to the first floor where there is a large landing (11m2) currently used as an office off which there are two bedrooms (16m2, 14m2,), both with fitted wardrobes, a shower room (6m2), an airing cupboard and a number of spacious fitted cupboards in the hallway.

All the rooms on the first floor have chestnut floors which have been carpeted for warmth and comfort and are painted white.

A second set of wooden stairs from the dining room lead down to the lower ground floor where there is a south facing guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom and its own separate entrance to the lower ground floor terrace and garden and to the entrance to the property making it ideal for B&B if desired.

Also on the lower ground floor is a workshop (10m2) and the central heating boiler room and laundry area (4m2). 

On the east side of the house is a hardcore for parking two cars, raised flower beds leading to the south facing gardens and the two lower ground floor terraces which in spring and summer are covered with splashings of climbing wisteria, clematis, and climbing roses.

On the lower terraces are a vegetable plot and a selection of  plum, prune, apricot and fig trees and two weeping willow trees.  At the bottom of the land is a garage with access from the country lane. 

The property has enough land for a pool and the current owners already have an estimate available.

A superb property in excellent condition and with lovely original features, suitable as either a primary or secondary residence, and located in a happy village with something always going on and a mixed nationality community... only 5 to 10 minutes to Les Eyzies and Le Bugue and the river Vezère, and only 15/20 minutes to St Cyprien and the river Dordogne.

A very cosy little gem with all modern comforts.
