Aquitaine, Dordogne, Piégut, France

A42923CHT24 - This handsome Maison de Maître offers an appealing combination of period character, substantial accommodation and exciting potential. Set in the heart of Piégut-Pluviers, it allows everyday life to be enjoyed on foot, with shops, cafés, restaurants, services and the village’s celebrated weekly market all close by.

The principal residence provides approximately 150 m² of living space. On the ground floor, the comfortable sitting room features an inset wood-burning stove and flows through to the dining room and bright fitted kitchen. A shower room with WC completes this level. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, three with their own washbasins, together with a further shower room, WC and dressing room. Above, a generous 62 m² attic offers excellent possibilities for conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.

Adjoining the main house is an independent one-bedroom dwelling of approximately 55 m². With its own living area, bedroom, bathroom and separate WC, it would be ideal for visiting family, long-term letting, holiday accommodation or a home-based professional activity.

The additional buildings are another important advantage. A 65 m² barn, spacious cellar and large garage provide excellent storage, workshop space or further development potential. Private off-road parking is particularly valuable for a property in such a central village location. With sympathetic updating, this could become an impressive family residence while also providing a useful source of rental income.

Piégut-Pluviers is a lively and welcoming village in the beautiful Périgord Vert. It is especially known for its large Wednesday morning market, which has been held in the village since the 17th century and attracts both local residents and visitors throughout the year. The village offers a good selection of everyday amenities, while its cafés and shops help create a friendly atmosphere without losing its traditional rural character.

The historic 23-metre Tour de Piégut, the surviving keep of a 12th-century fortified castle, overlooks the village and is open to visitors throughout the year. The surrounding countryside is ideal for walking, cycling and enjoying the lakes and forests of the Périgord-Limousin Regional Natural Park. Nontron is approximately 11 km away, while Brantôme, Angoulême, Périgueux and Limoges are all accessible for larger shops, cultural attractions and transport connections.
