Farm cottage

Superbly situated restored stone fermette for sale of around 130 m2 of living space, old stone barn, source, central courtyard, vegetable garden, all set in around 4000 m2 of flat land surrounded by countryside on the banks of the river just outside a small sleepy village near Montignac in the Perigord Noir of the Dordogne.

In the farm house there is a large living room with old stone fireplace with insert wood burner, old stone sink, pise floor, exposed stone walls and exposed beams and doors and windows on both the south and north sides of the house (55 m2), a small fitted kitchen with tiled floor and adjoining laundry area (12m2), and a cosy lounge with original stone fireplace, exposed stone walls, beams and north door to the courtyard (15m2).

Stairs from the living room lead up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and a landing : a master bedroom with superb view across the countryside to a local chateau (17m2), and two smaller bedrooms (7.5m2, 8m2) and a bathroom with bath and shower over, wash basin, bidet and wc (10m2). All the bedrooms have carpeted wood floors and exposed beams.

Opposite the house on the north side is an old stone barn (approx. 95m2 ground area) housing a boiler room for gas-fired central heating, a garage and a workshop and garden tool store. At the west end of the barn are ruins of the old pig sties.

Between the house and the barn is a pretty landscaped courtyard with small summer eating terrace, a mix of grass and gravel paths, flowering shrubs, flower beds and flower pots with unspoilt views over the countryside around and a traditional stone porch for an entrance to the property.

On the west side of the property is a natural source and on the south west side within the stone walls of a ruined building is a well-established and good-sized vegetable garden. The rest of the grounds are a mix of flat grassland open to the countryside and numerous ornamental and fruit trees (apple, walnut, plum) and on the barn there is a dessert-grape vine.

Entrance to the property is via a privately-owned driveway.

A light and beautifully maintained property suitable as either a primary or secondary home in a quiet, private location surrounded by beautiful countryside in walking distance of the river and only a short drive to a pretty market town of Montignac with all amenities.
