Description

Discover the timeless appeal of this enchanting Belle Époque country home, where period elegance meets comfortable village living. Rich in original character, the property features high ceilings, wooden floors, marble fireplaces, a private courtyard, and generous gardens, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.



Situated in a peaceful village setting, the house enjoys the tranquility of rural life while remaining just minutes from the vibrant town of Ruffec. Here you'll find a twice-weekly market, shops, restaurants, schools, a hospital, and a train station, offering everyday convenience within easy reach.



The ground floor opens into a spacious entrance hall, highlighted by an impressive hardwood staircase. To one side, a charming sitting room with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove provides the perfect retreat for cosy evenings. The elegant dining room, also centred around a fireplace, offers an inviting setting for family gatherings and entertaining. At the heart of the home lies a generous modern kitchen and dining area, where a further wood-burning fireplace combines practicality with authentic character.



Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a spacious family bathroom includes a bath, large shower, and WC.



Outside, a private courtyard leads to a sunny terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxed afternoons. The surrounding gardens and paddock offer plenty of space to enjoy the countryside setting. A substantial attached barn, currently divided into workshop and storage areas, is complemented by an open hangar, garage, and additional outbuildings across the courtyard. Together, these spaces present exciting opportunities for further development, guest accommodation, or holiday rental potential, subject to the necessary permissions.



Adding to the property's unique appeal is an original bread oven, a delightful reminder of its heritage and a wonderful feature for those who appreciate traditional country living.



Combining Belle Époque elegance, authentic charm, and remarkable potential, this distinctive village home presents a rare opportunity to create a truly special residence in the French countryside.

About Beaux Villages Immobilier, Gironde

3 Rue Robert Descorne, 33580 Monségur

Beaux Villages Immobilier specialises in property for sale in southern France. We pride ourselves on treating everyone – whether looking to purchase or sell a property – as an important individual, not a financial opportunity.

We all live and work in southern France and as buyers ourselves, we remember what it was like to take that leap of faith and trust an agent we didn't really know. We go the extra mile to take the stress out of buying a property whether your budget is €100k or €100 million.

France is the top destination of choice for property buyers in Europe. A stable property market, low crime, long life expectancy, low population density, diverse culture and world famous health, education and transport systems are frequently quoted. This has been our own personal happy experience.

Based in southern France, we are the first port of call for thousands of people each year who are looking to buy a home here.

Covering the entire southern half of France from the Atlantic coast across to the Mediterranean and the alps, our patch includes some of the prettiest villages and towns and most beautiful countryside and coast in the whole of France.

We have the know-how you need

Beaux Villages Immobilier is an estate agency with unbeatable local and legal knowledge; we are here to help every step of the way. Our central ethos is a complete respect for the life-changing events involved in buying or selling a property. So, if you have questions or need advice, fire away.

At every stage of the process from initial enquiry to the day of completion and beyond you will have a named contact in the company. Our expert sales team and dedicated, office-based administrative and legal professionals will be available at all times to take your call.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
