Enchanting and historic Fifteenth-century logis ideally located on the doorstep of one of the top 10 most beautiful villages in the Limousin, Segur-le-Chateau.

Segur-le-Chateau can trace its origins back to the 6th century, and such was its strategic importance that a fortress has occupied the heart of this idyllic location for over 1,200 years. This historically significant property is immaculately presented and retains many original features, seamlessly interwoven with modern comforts.
An impressive stone staircase, substantial fireplaces, tower rooms, and exposed woodwork combine with generous, well-lit interior volumes to create a luxurious and characterful home.

Set within grounds of three-quarters of an acre, the mature gardens offer privacy, along with a choice of three outdoor terraced areas from which to enjoy views of the 12th-century citadel and the calming sound of the river. A formal rose garden and sculpted parkland leading down to the riverbank provide a truly captivating experience.

This unique property is set out on four levels:
Ground Floor :
A large modern fitted kitchen, with a heated floor, exposed beams, and ample space for formal dining. The centrepiece is a Godin stove with a double oven and gold accents, while modern conveniences are discreetly integrated within the bespoke joinery. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with custom storage and separate WC providing access to the lower dining terrace and rock garden.

First Floor:
Step back in time as you enter the main living room, which features an original stone fireplace adorned with a coat of arms. An arched door opens out onto the upper terrace and rose garden. Handcrafted iron dragon wall light fixtures supplement the generous window bay to ensure that the room's full glory is on display.
There is also a bright sitting room or occasional bedroom (used as an office at the moment) on this level which offers an uninterrupted view of the castle, the river, and the old mill.

Second Floor:
A generously proportioned master bedroom, en suite bathroom with WC and walk-in dressing room occupy 40m2, rewarding the owner with a real sense of space and comfort. A magnificent four-poster bed adorns the bedroom which is further embellished with an authentic fireplace, hand-carved wood panelling in the late-Gothic style, iron light fixtures and even a romantic balcony.
A charming tower room provides an additional private space which would be ideal as a study, painting studio, or snug.

Third and fourth floors:
Illuminated by windows on three sides, a spacious bedroom with dressing room and bathroom offers amazing views over the grounds and river.
A wooden ladder leads up to a fourth-floor turret room, capped with original solid timber framing.

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, and is connected to mains drainage.

This is an important turnkey historic property which has been tastefully renovated to exacting standards. Viewing is highly recommended.
