HOUSES FOR SALE IN FRANCE

DLB 341 - 194 400 Euros (AFI)

Spacious old stone village house dating from the 13th century of around 150 m2 of living space on two floors with a convertible attic and adjoining garage and workshop in the heart of one of the most beautiful mediaeval villages with lovely views over the river valley in the Périgord Noir of the Dordogne.

The house is basically habitable with oil-fired central heating and fairly recent plumbing and electricity, but the whole house needs interior decoration and some replacement due to damage done by wood-eating insects.   

On the ground floor is a kitchen with red tiled floor (tomettes), east door and south window (16m2), leading on through to a utility area (4.60m2) and a bathroom with full-sized bath and large south facing window, wash basin and wc.

Under the utility area is a cellar housing the oil-fired central heating boiler and fuel tank.

Off to the right of the kitchen is a large living room with open fireplace, red tiled floor (tomettes), exposed beams and east-facing windows (25m2).

At the end of the property on the ground floor is a large garage and workshop area which could be made into further living accommodation or a downstairs bedroom with en-suite bathroom, or a B&B guest room. 

Stairs from the kitchen lead up to the first floor where there is a large open landing with south facing window and wood floor currently used as a tv room (11m2), an east-facing bedroom with wood floor (17m2), a large central room with wood floor and east-facing windows (34m2) and a third bedroom with both east and west-facing windows and wood floor (31m2).  All the bedrooms have high ceilings and lovely views on the gardens and mediaeval village around.

Off the landing is a second staircase up to the attic where there are three very large spaces with superb wood timberwork which could be made into further living accommodation.

To the front of the property on the south side is a raised flower bed which could be made into a small terrace for sitting outside as this property currently has no garden or outside seating area.  However, an adjoining piece of land may become available for sale at some point in the future. 

A charming property with lots of space and potential in one of the most sought-after villages of the Perigord Noir.  Once restored, this property would be ideal for all-year-round holiday rentals with easy maintenance.

Facilities:  mains water, electricity, drainage, ADSL.  Oil-fired central heating, large garage/workshop.

Legal fees:  12 200 Euros (approx.)
