2 / 3-Bed Character Farmhouse, la Tour Blanche, Dordogne

Property Description

Just 2km from the ever popular vibrant village of La Tour Blanche, this beautiful farmhouse is bright, colourful, spacious and full of character! The walled garden is the perfect secluded spot for a glass of wine while the land that stretches beyond has a lot of potential, depending on what you might like to use it for.  The shops and amenities at La Tour Blanche are just 2km away.





The new owners may wish to modernise some of the facilitates, but the structure and character of the building offer the potential to create something really quite special.  The cathedral-style living area is large, bright and open.  Defined zone within this large space offer great flexibility.  Whilst there is a mezzanine area, almost all the accommodation is on one level so if you are looking for ground floor bedrooms, this house ticks the box.

Through the front door there is a large boot room with stairs to the mezzanine





Spacious kitchen with plenty of natural light


Adjoining walk-in pantry





Hallway 1 leads down to the master bedroom


Family shower room





Hallway 2 showcases the old bread oven &  leads to second sitting room with fantastic fireplace & Godin wood-burner.





Covered veranda leads to the two further good-sized bedrooms, both with terrace access and lovely views of the garden.





Bedroom 3 is in need of renovation but has an original fireplace and great potential.





The mezzanine is the ideal spot for a home office / reading nook / studio





There are two attic rooms leading off from the mezzanine.  Again, excellent potential for conversion (subject to planning permission)
