Summary
Although the house has no close neighbours it is also close to a lovely swimming lake, restaurants, bakeries, supermarket, doctor’s office and much more. Périgueux, the capital of the Dordogne, is about an hour’s drive away as is Limoges airport.

Two gravelled driveways connected together, with separate gates, facilitate access. There are two adjacent garages, with workstations accessible from the inside. Each has an individual electric door.

A large summer kitchen, equipped with a wood stove, a barbecue, electricity and a sink with hot and cold running water, usable all year round, adjoins the property. A covered terrace facing south and an aluminum pergola offer additional shade.

One enters the house through a porch that leads to a country-style kitchen equipped with a stove that can supply ten radiators. Behind the kitchen there is a discreet double room and a shower room. There are the steps that go down to the living/dining room, also equipped with a wood stove. This room gives access to the terrace through double glazed French windows. It communicates with a large living room/TV room.

One accesses the first floor by a wooden staircase leading to a landing with a Velux window, currently converted into an office. There is a large bathroom with an island bath and separate shower, as well as generous storage space in the easily accessible attic.

The second double bedroom has a window overlooking the garden facing south. The landing gives access to additional rooms; one serves as a dressing room with rooms on each side, one unfinished and the other serving as clothing storage.

Another staircase leads to a large third bedroom, which in turn gives access to an additional room currently used as a sewing/craft workshop. This room also offers internal access to the garage. The house could be divided into two separate dwellings, subject to obtaining a building permit; some plans are available.

This house benefits from double glazing on nearly all windows and a choice of wood central heating from the wood burner in the kitchen or from oil central heating. There is a double cave where the heating oil tank and the boiler are housed.
