Sarlat-la-Canéda, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France

Super stylish, 19th stone barn conversion, situated in a peaceful small hamlet, with fabulous views over the surrounding countryside.

Converted by its current owners in 2007 at huge expense, and presented in excellent condition, comprising a five bedroomed property with large open plan living space, exposed stonework, cathedral ceilings with a magnificent, beamed ceiling, and without doubt the best mezzanine floor I've ever seen, with huge potential to create games room/home office etc.  Sitting room with log burning stove and double doors onto the raised terrace - the perfect spot for al fresco dining, (railings about to be fitted)!  Modern fitted kitchen with integral appliances and doorway onto a covered terrace.  Stylish modern bathrooms with travertine lined showers.

Large ground floor which could easily be converted to create a separate apartment if required with workshop/ boiler room, storage, second rustic kitchen and garage.  With the modern comforts of double glazing, water softener, gas and granule heating systems.

All set in charming gardens with established trees, walled garden with central gazebo, two water storage facilities (5000 litres and pumping system), covered terrace and the essential 10 by 5m swimming pool with electric cover, pool house, sun terrace and pergola all with the most splendid views.

The Area

All just a short drive to numerous local restaurants and amenities, or the larger towns of Sarlat or Gourdon, both twenty-five kilometres away.
