Le Bourg is a wonderfully understated address for this 13th century gem in the heart of the sought after village of Verteillac, where the north west Dordogne gives way to the Charente. An extremely versatile property, it was formerly run as a chambres d'hotes and could be again, equally suitable as a permanent home or holiday bolt hole.
Once inside, one is immediately enveloped by a cloak of calm, and centuries of peaceful history.But that is only part of the story, this is no museum, happy as either a family home or a party house, this is a vibrant, modern and chic home. The eat-in kitchen has many a tale to tell, and leads in either direction to a large family room or the 200m2 walled courtyard garden. The garden has an in-ground swimming pool and is bathed in sun and shade.
High beamed ceilings, fireplaces (one monumental in the grand salon), original stone and wooden floors add to the character of this ancient property. The four bedrooms are all ensuite, two have baths in addition to showers, and there is an occasional 5th bedroom in the vaulted cellar which has a separate shower room close by.
Located 45kms from Angouleme with its TGV station and 65kms from Bergerac with its well serviced airport, one is also within a comfortable day trip to Bordeaux or the coast at La Rochelle or Royan.
