Ref DOL/PRIVATE SALE/STOREY

The house is situated in a small village which is no more than ten minutes from the small market town of Brantôme, justifiably known as the Venice of the Perigord.

The house comprises two properties; the main part of the house was built just after the war in traditional style with the adjoining cottage dating from the 18^th century. After extensive renovations the two properties have been converted into a substantial yet easily manageable family home

Ground floor (sous-sol): large utility room with a shower (currently used as a laundry room); a single car garage plus two other general storage rooms – one of which where pot-plants are over-wintered.  

Entrance floor: steps to the Wisteria-covered & newly covered west-facing terrace-balcony from the courtyard lead directly into the Dining Room cum Kitchen. The Dining Room (29 sqm) has fully fitted cupboards, wood burning stove, large fireplace and the south-facing view from the main window is across the valley; the adjoining Kitchen is fully-fitted and overlooks the courtyard.

The door from the Dining Room leads to the stairs (beautifully restored original Elm) and on into the Drawing Room (65 sqm). This room has recently been fully renovated with the original attic floor above taken out whereby the main A-frame oak beams are now fully exposed. The south facing view is similar to that from the Dining Room and a new set of French Windows give access to the garden to the rear by way of a balcony. This terrace-balcony faces east and thus perfect as a breakfast area.

In the Drawing Room, there is a wood-burning stove and the dressed stone of the fireplace has been exposed to the ceiling (5m height). All of the original dressed stone has been restored (casements to windows etc) and the downstairs cloakroom is situated to the side of this room. Stairs to the side of the Drawing Room lead down to what was originally the cottage ground floor that now comprises a main Entrance Hall to the entire house (26 sqm) – with tiled floor, fireplace & exposed beams and a further room currently used as an office (18sqm), oak floored with exposed beams.

This entire side of the house has been fully restored to include re-roofing; fully insulated (including between floors); plaster-boarding; re-wiring with all wood treated and a new be-spoke front door.   .

First floor: comprises two bedrooms to either side of the stairs – both are en suite and similarly sized (35 sqm) and both have south-facing views and fitted wardrobes.

Second floor (attic): a large space (approx 45 sqm) within the exposed A-frame timbers that has been recently renovated to include full insulation, plaster-boarding and re-wiring and is currently used as a third bedroom when needed and storage area. This space could easily be further converted into either two bedrooms or used as a children’s bedroom cum play area.

Outside: Adjacent to the back of the house and cottage is a large concrete-floored barn on two levels; the roof is sound and the ground floor is used for wood storage, as an additional garage and is in the process of being re-wired.

Covered Terrace: To the side of the courtyard is a large terrace that faces south by west – originally ancient pig-sties. This space has also been recently converted to provide a perfect outside eating area to the side of which is a covered walk-way through to the garden.

Secondary barn: To the side of the original cottage is a smaller barn divided into three; one section is used as a tile store, another left empty and a third – that has direct access to the garden – is currently used as a (large) potting shed. To the side of that and against the back wall of the cottage is an original bread-oven.

The garden: has been fully planted with maturing shrubs and there are two potagers (kitchen gardens); one to the top of the garden and the other by the small lane that runs along the front of the house – this latter fully enclosed by a dressed-stone wall. The area is approximately 500 sqm and thus easily manageable and maintained. There are vines on most walls as well as a Black Hamburgh (a long distant relative to the Hampton Court vine planted by Henry V111) outside the front of the cottage entrance. Wisteria has also been trained across the entire front and sides of the house and, while maturing and flowering now, it will offer a superb display over the coming years.

The house is set within a small hamlet overlooking the valley of the River Cole with beautiful views year round and there is an excellent restaurant / bar in the main village some ten minutes walk away as well as a post office next to the Mairie. 

The house is about a half hour drive (dependant on the route chosen) from Perigueux. For weekly groceries etc there is a choice of Leclerc, Auchan and other hypermarkets, for day-to-day shopping then it is either Shopi in Brantôme itself or the similarly sized Atac (but a bit less pricey) in Thiviers.

By road we are about an eight hour drive from Calais or Boulogne and six from either St Malo or Caen. The péage has recently been completed north of Tours linking north and south thus, the journey is much easier than it used to be.

By air - Limoges and Bergerac airports are both between an hour and ninety minutes easy drive away.

By rail - the nearest link to the UK is via Angouleme / Paris / London.   

Viewing is essential and strictly by appointment only.

Ref FOL/PRIVATE SALE/BYRNE

An established rental business with a guaranteed income, our property is situated at the end of an isolated track with no immediate neighbours or passing traffic but is still within close proximity to all services, shops, markets, restaurants and the many and varied local attractions. 

Stunning historic Bastide (fortified) towns such as Sarlat, Monpazier, Domme and Rocamadour are close by and the numerous chateaux and the fascinating towns and villages of this most fascinating region will not disappoint you.  The Dordogne attracts millions of visitors each year, is steeped in history, stunningly beautiful, essentially rural and lives life at a gentle pace.  Our nearest town, Les Eyzies de Tayac,  is the world centre for pre-history and the surrounding caves hold the greatest concentration of pre-historic art on the planet.

The property is currently organised into a high-quality gite complex with the owner's house located within its own grounds giving privacy, but allowing easy contact with guests when required. 

The three self-catering gites are fully booking during summer months and provide a good rental income.  Purchasers could expect to improve on the current rental income if they wished to extend the rental season.  The property is flexible and a new owner might choose to reorganise the existing arrangements and occupy a different house, freeing the current owner's house for rental purposes.
