Property Description

Standing in the heart of the Dordogne Valley, this beautifully presented stone house offers seven bedrooms, delightful character features, an independent stone barn, pool and large garden.

Tracing its history back to the 16th century, this classic French house has a long and interesting past as an Auberge providing refuge to travellers through the centuries. The house is ideally laid out to continue that history, if desired, but is equally suitable as a large family home with rooms spread over three floors and independent access to the 1st floor rooms, if required.

The well presented property has retained many of its original character features including a lovely polished stone floor in the dining room, beautiful woodwork in the salon and a delightful vaulted room currently serving as a very stylish office. The top floor offers a 30 m2 room currently used as a games room which could serve as an additional bedroom suite or very large home office area.

Outside the large stone barn is fully independent of the house and could offer additional accommodation opportunities (subject to permissions). The barn and house were reroofed in 2014 and both buildings appear to be well-maintained. The large garden has been very well planted with mature trees and the swimming pool is not overlooked. The garden opens on to a wooded area and to countryside beyond, giving a real feeling of space and rural living, despite the property's proximity to the bustling town of Souillac - ideal for shopping and travel connections.

The property stands at the edge of a village and is set back from a main road. Once through the gates this large stone house is private and surprisingly peaceful. Properties of this size and charm in a village location are hard to find and this one is absolutely worth a visit!
