Fully renovated 19th-century stone farmhouse

This is a lovely stone farmhouse on three floors, with a very large main bedroom (about 25 sq m) with ensuite, plus three well-appointed attic bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room. There is a third bathroom with bathtub on the ground floor, plus an under-stairs toilet.

The house also benefits from a large sitting room and a dining room with beautiful floor-to-ceiling fireplace (formerly a bread oven). Other original features include many exposed beams, original wood floors and a stone fireplace in the master bedroom. The fully fitted cottage-style kitchen is adjacent to the south-facing patio and garden.

In the grounds, of about 1,000 sq m, the 10mx5m saltwater pool is surveyed by a graceful willow tree. The large terrace overlooks the surrounding countryside (a small, verdant valley). There is a possibility of acquiring a further 350 sq m of adjacent land.

The house is located in a small, quiet hilltop hamlet, where most of the properties are French-owned and lived in permanently. There is a working farm, and sheep pass daily in front of the house - very 'Manon des Sources'!

It is 3kms to the nearest village with bar/restaurant and shop, and 10kms to the nearest supermarkets, either at the small market town of Mareuil or the picturesque and historic town of Brantome.
