A36329EO24 - Own a Unique Piece of History: The Former Bergerac Powder Mill Director's House

Step into the legacy of the Bergerac powder mill, a landmark that played a vital role between 1915 and 1920.

Spanning an impressive 230 hectares, the site was a thriving community, featuring accommodations for 4,200 women and 6,000 men, a state-of-the-art hospital with 700 beds, three nurseries, and a primary school capable of hosting 400 children. At the heart of this bustling site, the Manor House served as the esteemed residence of the Director.

This distinguished property, constructed with robust reinforced concrete, stands as a testament to architectural integrity. The structure remains solid and free from any cracks, with significant upgrades completed in recent years including a roof renovation in 2012, modernized electrical systems, and under-floor insulation.

While the charm of its original wooden-framed windows has been preserved throughout most of the home, the top floor has been updated with practical PVC windows.
