Historic Village House, Full of Character Features, Villereal, Lot-Et-Garonne

Property Description

This property dates back to 1484!  Fortunately, the home-comforts have improved somewhat since then, but the house has been renovated with such love and passion, many of the original elements have been beautifully retained and the views are stunning.  Situated close to the towns of Villeréal, Issigeac and Castillonnes, there are plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants to choose from.

Here’s the layout:

Ground floor:

Entrance hall and landing - 9m2
Small kitchenette - 2.2m2
Bedroom - 15m2 - with ensuite shower room - 5m2
Large bedroom - 30m2 - with ensuite shower room

Garden level:

Hallway - 3.6m2
Sitting room - 30m2 - with direct garden terrace access
Kitchen - 9m2
Bedroom - 10.6m2
Bathroom - 4.25m2
Bedroom - 10.6m2

The house is ready for immediate occupation, but the kitchen and bathroom could probably benefit from an upgrade at some point.  There is also an additional large room of 26m2 as well as 183m2 attic space currently not being used.  So, the property has the potential to create additional living space, if you’re looking for a project, but equally, you could just move in and relax.

Outside, the garden covers 1500m2.  Alongside very pretty borders and planting with lots of spots to sit and enjoy the sunshine or the shade, depending on the season.  There is also a lovely 26m2 terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, and it has to be said, the view is superb.  

Villeréal is a lovely bastide market town, dating from the 13th century, there are lovely historical features and of course the shady central courtyard that’s perfect for enjoying a coffee or lunch and watching the world go by.  Saturday is market day and not to be missed!  Some of France’s prettiest character towns tend to be over run with tourists in the summer, and dead in the winter.  This is not to case with Villeréal where there is a lively atmosphere throughout the year.  The shops, cafés and restaurants are as open in the winter as they are in the summer.

There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy.  Whether it’s horse-riding, swimming, fishing, hiking, cycling or golf - there’s plenty to do here and beautiful countryside in which to do it!
