Chartreuse With Character And Period..

In land occupied before the days of Charlemagne, this unique property at the heart of a small village is a record of the history of France written in wood and stone. It comprises a Chartreuse, once a monastery (XVII C) and a facing former Presbytery (XVI/XVII C). A courtyard garden with fountain lies between them. The land is enclosed in part by a 4 metre high XVII C wall, the enclosure being completed by a XII C fortified church, The Chartreuse is superb. With some 400 m2 of floor space, wooden beams throughout and large and elegant rooms it is nevertheless fully up-to-date with ADSL and full central heating. The former Presbytery has over 300m2 of floor space. Currently used as a delightful guest house and entertainment centre - including Sauna - it offers endless opportunities. It too is centrally heated. Among the many reminders of centuries past, the most notable are a mediaeval pigeonner and a 16m x 4m cluzeau - a subterranean vaulted chamber used as a refuge in time of war. Now a haven of peace and tranquillity, the property is totally private, yet within walking distance of village amenities and within easy reach of Thiviers and Perigueux. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
