Originally two cottages and now a beautifully renovated spacious family home, this village house is situated on the edge of a village with restaurant within walking distance and local shops just a 3 minute drive away.  The accommodation is extremely versatile and could be moulded to suit many requirements.  The pretty garden surrounds the house and there are useful outbuildings & plenty of parking.  

The house has been a much loved family home for the last 13 years and has hosted many great gatherings of family and friends.  The spacious living areas, well provisioned BBQ area, large garden and layout of the bedrooms mean there's plenty of space even when the house is at capacity, yet it remains a very comfortable home when it is just the owners in residence. 

There is a total 268m2 habitable space.  The property would lend itself to being a B&B (subject to necessary permissions) if that is of interest, but currently a private home, here is the layout:

The garden extends around the property giving a good degree of privacy.  There is a well in the garden as well as a terraced BBQ area.  There are two large barns as well as a third barn used as an open hangar for parking three cars under cover.  The barns cover an area of approximately 200m2.

An area of garden beyond the barns covers approximately 800m2 and would make an ideal small holding or allotment area.  Subject to the necessary permissions, it may even offer the potential for development, but this would obviously need to be thoroughly researched with the local authorities to check for viability.

Situated on the Charente/Dordogne border, the property sits on the edge of the village, just a 20 minute walk from the local restaurant and 3 minute drive from the local shops in St Severin.  There is a hotel in the village that does an excellent take away on request.  In the summer months, there is also an excellent pop up restaurant called Guinguette.  The village holds two annual wine and food evenings in the summer which are always very sociable affairs and a great chance to meet all the locals. There are excellent walking trails in the area that take in the woodlands and lake near the village and the Poltrot river adventure playground is particularly popular for families.

Verteillac, Riberac and the riverside town of Aubeterre are all with in 15 minus.  Périgueux, with arguably the best weekly fresh produce market in the area, is also within easy reach.

It's a 5.5 hour drive from the north coast and a choice of 3 airports, Bergerac, Bordeaux and Limoges nearby provide excellent transport options
