Entrance to the main house is from the private driveway and forecourt through a beautiful entrance with stone pillars and wrought iron gates into the front courtyard and garden.  Central stone steps lead into the entrance hall off which is a cloakroom, to the left is a large dining room with stone fireplace surround seating 12, and a fully fitted kitchen.

On the right of the hall is a large living room with open fireplace and a library/study area.

An original stone staircase leads to the first floor where there are 4 good-sized bedrooms each with en-suite bath or shower room and lovely countryside views. 

Original wooden stairs from the 1st floor to the top floor where there is a central landing with stunning views over the Vezère valley off which are two large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. 

The whole house is centrally heated and all the bedrooms are air-conditioned.

Adjoining the house on the west side is a large two-floor barn which could be used for further conversion and the first floor alone would make a wonderful apartment with views over the countryside. 

In front of the barn is a grassed area edged with kitchen garden flower beds and climbing plants and a summer eating area with barbecue and gate leading to the private enclosed pool area which has both stone terrace surround and a grassed area. 

In front of the property is a large flat orchard with many fruit trees and a selection of flowering shrubs and flower beds.  There are also two large parking areas. 

To the east of the Manor House are the stone outbuildings recently converted to provide 4 separate rental units providing accommodation for smaller parties each ranging from 2 to 4  people, with their own private access courtyard , new enclosed pool and parking area. 

All the rental cottages are centrally heated and have woodburning stoves or fireplaces and have a mix of exposed stone walls and beams, making them very cosy in winter… and outside dining terraces for the warmer seasons.

The whole property has been furnished to a very high standard with country house style furniture and trimmings and has modern kitchens and bathrooms.   The furniture would be available for sale separately.

A really lovely property in a unique situation, restored with care to preserve all the original features whilst providing all modern comforts.
