Beautiful 3-Bed Farmhouse with Great Sense of Space, Duras, Lot-Et-Garonne

Property Description

This 3-bed farm house is simply, cool.  Clever renovation really makes the most of the indoor/outdoor spaces while retaining all the character of the original house.  There is a lovely terrace, a secluded swimming pool and a secret garden to explore.  A separate pigeonnier and other outbuildings offer plenty of space and potential.  There are no near neighbours, but the nearby village shops are just 2km away.  The best of both worlds.

There is a wonderful sense of space and light at the house.  This is created through the open-plan layout, the high ceilings and great large windows that really make the most of being able to open up and enjoy more of the outdoor lifestyle.

There are 4 spacious bedrooms at the property, 2 of which are on the ground floor with ensuite bathrooms, not to mention the space in the Pigeonnier which the current owners use to house any visiting teenagers.  There’s 170m2 habitable space in total.  Here’s the layout:

Outside

The views at the house are lovely and there are no near neighbours.  Peace reigns over the garden  that covers 3056m2 (approx 0.75 acres) and has a 10 x 4m swimming pool that is in a lovely secluded area of the garden, a super outdoor terrace for al fresco dining and an enchanting secret garden.   There is also a garage and workshop. 

Location:

The property is in a lovely quiet spot, it really is a place to get away from it all.  However, the house is not at all isolated.  The local village is 2km away where there is a restaurant/ tearoom, a shop, hairdresser, post office and a doctor’s surgery.

The beautiful towns of Duras, Eymet and Ste Foy are all around a 10 minute drive, and you can pick which one to head for depending on which weekly fresh produce market is on that day.  It is a wonderful area to explore.  Bergerac airport is just 30kms away.
