New reduced price. A wonderfully atmospheric stone village house with three bedrooms, formerly a convent dating from the 15th century.
The simple faade of this property belies the remarkable interior that greets you within. The sympathetic renovation has created a spacious and high quality interior whilst retaining a host of original features, most notably the three sizeable stone fireplaces. A castle used to stand on this site and evidence of this can be seen in the thick stone walls on the ground floor. After the castle was destroyed, a convent was built in the 15th Century utilising a section of the remains and was reportedly home to six nuns.
Across the road from the house is a beautiful Romanesque church, which forms the heart of this charming yet buoyant village that has a baker, a post office and a small village shop.
The main living space is located on the first floor with the main entrance to the property being via a flight of tiled steps. There is an open plan Dining Kitchen with exposed stone walls and a large stone fireplace with a wood burner. A doorway leads through to the Breakfast Room that opens out into the pretty courtyard garden. The garden faces southwest and is fully enclosed with a number of specimen trees creating a shady and private space in which to relax.
The large Lounge has two windows overlooking the village square and the church. It features a monumental medieval stone fireplace, wooden beams and exposed stone walls. A stone arched doorway leads through to a bedroom which contains the third of the wonderful stone fireplaces. There is also a shower room with W.C on this floor.
On the ground floor are two further characterful bedrooms, a shower room and a utility room. There is also a garage with large double doors and a useful storeroom.
The property is located in the highly sought after Perigord Blanc with its characteristic white stone properties set within rolling countryside. It is within a 5 minute drive of the small town of Verteillac whilst the international airport in Bergerac can be reached in about one hour.
