DESCRIPTION

One of those tiny villages in the Périgord that seem to have stood the test of time without losing their identity; a few old houses, traditional architecture and the ever-present countryside combine here to create a particularly peaceful and authentic setting.

Verteillac, a lively village with shops, amenities and a market, is about 6.6 km away.

In the heart of this pretty village, behind its unassuming façade, lies a property of quite unexpected proportions.

With approximately 360 m² of living space, seven bedrooms, spacious reception rooms, an inner courtyard, a large enclosed garden, a 12 x 6-metre swimming pool and over 1.66 hectares opening out onto the rolling countryside: this house offers a rather rare combination of the atmosphere of an authentic village home and the sense of space found in a country estate.

The property is organised around a pleasant inner courtyard and comprises several interconnected sections, reflecting the evolution of this historic building over time.

A beautiful and spacious entrance hall immediately sets the tone.

To the right lies one of the house’s centrepieces: a spectacular living room of approximately 70 m².

Its generous proportions, original beams, stove and mezzanine create a particularly warm and impressive living space, perfectly suited to large family gatherings or long evenings with friends.

On the other side of the entrance hall is a large room that could serve as a games room, an additional lounge or a family room.

The ground floor also comprises a kitchen opening onto a terrace, and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, providing a sleeping area without having to go upstairs.

A conservatory and a workshop complete this level.

The first floor holds even more surprises.

Spread across different parts of the house and accessible via three staircases, six further bedrooms offer a wide range of layout possibilities.

Three bathrooms ensure that family and guests are well looked after.

The different levels, the exposed roof structure, the original beams, the wooden floors and the unusual layout give the house a very distinctive character.

This is no run-of-the-mill property, but a home that has been built and transformed over the generations.

And it is outside that the contrast with its village setting becomes truly spectacular.

From the house and the courtyard, the grounds extend to the rear over approximately 1.66 hectares.

Gradually, the village fades from view, giving way to a wide-open vista of the fields and the surrounding countryside.

The 12 x 6-metre swimming pool benefits precisely from this privileged setting.

Situated in the garden behind the house, it enjoys a lovely aspect and a particularly pleasant panoramic view of the rural landscape.

The house currently features varying levels of finish.

Some parts have already been upgraded, whilst others retain an older character and can be modernised to suit the future owners’ tastes.

Its very spacious layout provides an excellent basis for creating a remarkable family home or a holiday home capable of accommodating several generations and numerous guests.

Heating is mainly provided by individual electric radiators, supplemented by a ‘Flamme Verte’-certified wood-burning stove.

The windows and doors are made of wood and metal, with a mix of single and double glazing.

The property is connected to the mains drainage system.

A garage of approximately 52 m², accessible from the street, completes the property.

With its seven bedrooms, multiple living areas, huge living room with mezzanine, inner courtyard, large grounds and swimming pool overlooking the countryside, this property offers a combination that is hard to find: plenty of space, a distinctive architectural character and the atmosphere of a Périgord that has remained profoundly authentic.
