Approached through electric gates and along a sweeping private driveway, the property immediately conveys a wonderful sense of space, privacy and tranquillity. The grounds gently slope towards the river, creating a beautiful natural setting and ensuring that the house enjoys an exceptional outlook.

The property is accessed from the north side, where a bright and welcoming entrance hall leads into the main living accommodation and features a striking staircase rising to the first floor. Designed to maximise both natural light and the spectacular surroundings, the principal living areas face south and open onto terraces overlooking the Dordogne.

Throughout the house, there is a wonderful feeling of light, space and calm, with a variety of generously proportioned reception rooms providing plenty of flexibility for both family life and entertaining.

On the ground floor, the house offers beautiful living spaces, with a 75m² living and dining room opening onto the park through large glazed doors, creating a wonderful connection between the interior and exterior. The fully equipped kitchen is complemented by a pleasant adjoining dining area, providing a convivial and practical space for everyday living. A bedroom, which could equally be used as an office, together with a separate WC, completes this floor.

The spacious principal bedroom enjoys direct views over the river and opens onto the outside through French doors. It benefits from an impressive en-suite bathroom with a large double jacuzzi bath, a separate shower and WC.

The property also benefits from a large double garage, secured by electrically operated sliding shutters.

The first floor provides three further bedrooms one with ensuite facilities together with a shower room and an exceptional 58m² living room, complete with exposed beams. This versatile space could be used as a family room, games room, additional reception area or simply as a spectacular retreat in which to relax.

Outside, the beautifully established grounds provide a wonderful setting for enjoying the riverside location. A heated 8m x 4m saltwater swimming pool, installed in 2021, provides the perfect place to relax and entertain during the warmer months.

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, together with reversible air conditioning in the majority of the house. Electric shutters are fitted throughout, while flyscreens to the windows and doors provide additional comfort during the summer months.
