Detached, Stone-Built Country House, Montcaret, Dordogne

Property Description

Situated in an elevated position on a quiet country lane, this beautifully renovated 4 bedroom/2 bathroom stone-built country house enjoys magnificent views over the nearby vineyards and the Dordogne Valley beyond. The house stands in just under an acre and a half of land and has a large, in-ground pool. It is just 2kms from shops and restaurants and a station for Bordeaux in 35 minutes.

Although in a very quiet position, the house is not isolated. The owners have refurbished the house with great respect for its original looks and feel. They have retained many of the original elements of the house such as the bread oven, the Girondine tiles and the exposed stone walls and beams. The house is so laid out that a portion could readily be separated as an independent annex for guests or for letting.

The rooms are bright and the accommodation, measuring 250m² of habitable space, consists of, on the ground floor, the kitchen (30m²), sitting room (30m²), the cellar, utility room and shower room. Also on the ground floor is a second kitchen (25m²)and a second reception room (26m²) containing the old bread oven.

On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms (25m², 16m², 19m² and 18m²) and a mezzanine space which serves as an occasional bedroom for guests. Also on the first floor is the family bathroom and a second shower room for the annex/gîte.

The outbuildings include a pool house, a barn which acts as the wood store and a garden shed. Heating for the annex is provided by a ground source pump system and the main house is heated by wood-burning stoves.

The plot measures 5526m² (1.37 acres) and includes many well-established trees and the large swimming pool. The views are superb.
