Duras - Charming Country House with Attached Guest Accommod

Property Description

Ideally positioned just a short drive from the historic hilltop village of Duras--celebrated for its impressive château, vibrant weekly market, and array of shops, bars, and restaurants--this delightful property also enjoys close proximity to the beautiful medieval riverside town of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, renowned for hosting one of France's largest and most popular Saturday markets.
Nestled off a quiet country lane, the property is approached via a horseshoe driveway, offering both easy access and ample parking. This charming stone house, while in need of some modernisation, is entirely habitable and brimming with potential.
The single-storey accommodation includes a kitchen/breakfast room, a welcoming sitting room with a striking stone fireplace, and direct access to the attached barn--ideal for those considering future expansion (subject to the necessary consents). There are two generously proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom, while to the rear of the house, within the attached barn, a spacious utility room and separate boiler room provide valuable practical space.
Adjacent to the main house is the guest accommodation, featuring a large open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining room with a feature fireplace and an exceptionally spacious double bedroom. Two substantial attached barns present excellent potential for further development, subject to the appropriate permissions.
The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and offer sweeping views over the surrounding countryside and vineyards. Mature trees provide natural shade during the summer months, and the garden is dotted with a variety of fruit trees. The attached barns enhance the flexibility of the property, offering scope to create additional living space if desired.
This lovely rural retreat enjoys excellent accessibility to both Sainte-Foy-la-Grande and the vibrant riverside city of Bordeaux, with its international airport--making it an ideal choice for either a permanent residence or a holiday home.
