Exclusive agency- at new price.
Set back from a departmental road, and approached via a private drive, this really attractive character house has been renovated recently with taste and enthusiasm by the current owners.
Steps lead up to a covered porch where you enter the property into a large open plan lounge / dining room of 41m2, with a magnificent Cantou fireplace. This room oozes character with wonderful exposed stone walls and wide floorboards. Within the fireplace, the owners have installed a 'Jotul' wood burner, and this heats the whole of the house. There is plenty of space, good light and one end has a dining area, with a mezzanine floor above, and double patio doors leading to a rear terrace.
The kitchen of 16m2 is a wonderful mix of old and new, with an island unit, (granite top), and free standing units that have been reworked to fit this atmospheric room. A large Rangemaster /Falcon cooker is installed, and attractive tiling on the walls. All original features have been preserved during the renovation, and old beams from the 1st floor incorporated into the kitchen units etc where possible.
Also on this floor, is a WC / cloakroom, bedroom & bathroom. There is also a useful hatch access to the lower ground floor studio without having to go outside.
Stairs lead out from the dining area to the mezzanine level, and the master suite, where you discover a large bathroom, with a corner bath, and double sinks, once more, a nice mix of old and new styles. The bedroom is very spacious with a dressing area / study area off.
Downstairs is a wonderful artist's studio 44m2, but this could equally be used as a 3rd bedroom, or even a workshop for a DIY enthusiast. Built on the bedrock, the owners have used reclaimed timber for the floors. There is also a workshop of 23m2, and some small store rooms, useful for storage. Another room has been reclaimed which is currently used as a store and accessed via a bridge from the outside.
The property benefits from a new roof, windows, plumbing & electrics, plus a fosse septique in conformity. The owners have also incorporated plenty of insulation, so that the house is “snug” even in the depths of winter. The use of beautiful wooden doors and floors is a really attractive feature.
Outside, the sloping land extends to 1.3 ha surrounded by mature trees. It would be possible to keep a horse here, or other livestock. There is an above ground pool, a natural pond, and the wildlife includes 2 resident peacocks to add a touch of glamour. There is also planning consent for a 3 bay carport, for which the hard standing is already in place.
Less than 10 minutes from Meyssac, Collonges la Rouge and Beaulieu sur Dordogne, this property is well placed for visits to several of “les plus beaux villages de France”, with no less than 6 within 30 minutes.
