Brantome (Dordogne) - Beautiful Maison..

A sympathetically restored 19th century Maison de Maitre offering authentic charm in a highly desirable location.

The four bedroom house sits on the edge of a small, neighbourly hamlet in 6 valuable acres of peace & privacy on the plateau above the 'Venice du Perigord'.

This property offers all the benefits of being in the countryside along with the conveniences of a small town with numerous bars, restaurants and shops. One of France's 'plus beaux detours' is but a thousand paces from your front door, but in the tranquility of your hilltop haven, Brantome's bustle can feel a million miles away.

The house and two barns form an L-shape around a pretty graveled courtyard with a stone capped well. The main entrance into the house is via a spacious Entrance Hall that is large enough to accommodate a dining table and has an oak staircase that rises to the upper floors. This area is open through to the stunning farmhouse Kitchen that is fully equipped with range cooker, dishwasher, fridge freezer, centre island and a good range of storage and shelving space.

Off the Kitchen is a Utility room with double sink and storage space leading to a washroom with W.C. and plumbed for washing machine.
A glazed door leads out into the covered outdoor snug

Also on the ground floor to the right of the entrance is a good sized room of 28m2 which could act as a Dining Room or second lounge but is currently utilized as a craft and hobby room. Originally this room was a bedroom and could be utilised as such again.

The main Lounge is on the first floor and certainly has a 'wow factor'. It covers 50m2 and has large windows to the front, and to the rear ½ glazed French balcony doors that open directly onto the terrace and garden, ensuring that it is flooded with light. The original wooden floorboards, exposed beams and stone fireplace with wood burning stove ensure it has bags of character.

To one side of the Lounge is a Study with an excellent range of fitted book shelves - this room could be utilized as a fourth bedroom. To the other side of the Lounge is the Master Bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite Bathroom.

The oak staircase leads on up to the second floor where there are two further double Bedrooms, both with ensuite Bathrooms.

The two barns are in excellent condition and extend to 220m2 in total - ideal for storage or workshops but also with the capability to be developed (in whole or in part ) into additional living space, perhaps a guardian's cottage, accommodation for a dependent relative or into holiday lets.

The bulk of the grounds face south west and are comprised of formal gardens (with several seating and dining areas, lawns, shrubs, trees and an ornamental pond) and large grassed paddocks which could be fenced for horses or other animals.

Brantome is a very popular tourist destination and has numerous cafes, bars and restaurants along with a mixture of local shops, a weekly fresh produce market and two supermarkets. Access to the property could not be easier with the options of Limoges airport (1 hour) or the TGV in Angouleme (50 minutes).
