Aquitaine, Gironde, Libourne, France

Charming and characterful Nineteenth Century 'maison Bourgeouise' in a quiet area of Libourne close to the river and the bastide, set in over half an acre of mature enclosed grounds with swimming pool.

This beautiful 6 bedroom house of 400m2 overlooks its enclosed gardens and grounds with a pool, and has side access from the street. The river is just steps away, and a garage for 2-3 cars is available opposite the house.

The style is typical of mid-19th-century architect-designed houses, with its cornerstones, high ceilings, and well-proportioned rooms. It shares a wall with another similar property to one side.

The entrance halls are tiled in traditional black and white and open onto the kitchen (37m2), which has just been completely renovated and features an open fireplace with a seating area, making it ideal for families. The kitchen also opens onto the recently covered terrace (20m2), which provides access to the laundry room.

The large living room (50m2) has dual aspect windows and includes a formal dining area with French doors leading to another terrace.

A practical office/workspace (20m2) is located off the entrance hall.

On the first floor, the master suite overlooks the gardens and features a spacious shower room, a large walk-in wardrobe with ample storage, and a spiral staircase leading back down to the kitchen. One of the other bedrooms has its own shower room, and the two remaining bedrooms share a large bathroom.

On the top floor, there is a landing with a bedroom featuring an en-suite shower room and a very large sixth bedroom (46 m2) which is ideal as a dormitory or a huge playroom. A games room is located to the side, with additional storage space at the rear.

Under the house, there is a boiler room equipped with an Oertii gas boiler providing heating and hot water, and for wine enthusiasts, there are two vaulted cellars.

The enclosed garden extends over 2,000 m2 and features a 10 m x 5 m chlorine swimming pool with a liner and a depth ranging from 1 m to 1.8 m. The pump has recently been replaced and is housed in a wooden shed that also includes a workshop and access to the 30 m well which provides irrigation for the garden.

On the other side of the street, there is an adjoining garage (47 m2) for 2 or 3 cars equipped with a tilting door and an electrical connection.
