EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! Steeped in centuries of history, this eclectic property traces its origins back to the 1200s, carrying with it stories and character from across the ages.
In a peaceful and secluded setting, surrounded by mature trees, vineyards and rolling valley views, the house offers an abundance of charm and individuality. High-beamed ceilings, ornate panelled walls, bespoke fireplaces and five ground-floor bedrooms — some with private bathrooms — all combine to create a unique and welcoming home.
Cherished by the current owners for over 25 years as their much-loved family holiday retreat, the property has been sympathetically maintained to preserve its authenticity while introducing select modern comforts, including a superb 10 x 5 swimming pool with terrace and an upgraded heating system. There is also a substantial stone barn with a floor space of approximately 160 m² and a neighbouring cottage, both of which require renovation, but also offering an exciting scope for future projects.
The entrance hall lies at the heart of the property. To the left, a corridor leads to three double bedrooms, a shower room, a storage cupboard, a WC and a rear door to the garden. To the right, there is a laundry room leading to a traditional fully-equipped kitchen with open fireplace, statement chimney and matching extractor hood. The kitchen is large enough to serve as a formal dining space and leads through to the main lounge, where a cream stone fireplace and wooden flooring create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Beyond a grand hallway are the two principal bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. A further sitting room features powder-blue Georgian-style wall panelling, a pretty white marble fireplace, and two sets of ornate panelled doors, leading into another room with external stone steps — an ideal sixth bedroom or study. This room is believed to have been the house’s original entrance.
Beneath the property, the former kitchen remains as a character-filled cellar, now housing the heating system and a workshop. There is also a dedicated wine cave awaiting to be stocked.
The property is within walking distance of a bakery, a restaurant and a mini supermarket, offering convenience without compromising its sense of privacy and tranquillity, yet close enough to Bergerac which offers a further array of shops, supermarkets and world cuisine and not forgetting its international travel links too!
