Description

A47102GUH33 - In Cavignac, a thriving small market town in northern Gironde, this characterful 354 sqm stone property immediately impresses with the elegance of its proportions and the attention paid to every detail. Renovated to a high standard, it offers an impeccable level of finish, combining the charm of period features with decidedly contemporary comfort. The fully enclosed and private 1,709 sqm grounds complete this refined setting — equally suited to family living or to developing a guest accommodation business, with no work required.

### Ground floor

The bright entrance hall leads to a lounge and a spacious living and dining room with impressive ceiling height, enhanced by a bespoke wooden staircase. The fitted kitchen, with ceramic worktops, is complemented by a separate pantry, currently also used as a utility room — a practical arrangement that keeps everyday household functions discreetly out of sight.

An additional flexible room can be used as a workshop or secondary office, depending on requirements. A second office, filled with natural light, completes this level and could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom or retained for professional use, making it ideal for someone wishing to work from home or accommodate a private practice. This floor already benefits from an accessible shower room suitable for people with reduced mobility.

Three wood-burning stoves add warmth and character to the dining room, lounge and office.

### First floor

The first floor comprises three independent suites, each arranged around a bedroom, fitted dressing room and private bathroom or shower room.

There is also a completely self-contained apartment with its own entrance, a living area with a fully fitted kitchen, a bedroom with additional sleeping accommodation and a private shower room. This particularly versatile layout is equally well suited to family use, visiting guests or paying accommodation.

### Grounds and outbuildings

The mature, private garden is arranged around a swimming pool with counter-current swimming system and spa area, together with travertine and timber terraces, a landscaped vegetable garden and a barbecue area.

A bespoke pergola shelters a fully equipped summer kitchen.

The property also includes a garage, workshop, double carport, two wells and a hard-surfaced parking area.

### Equipment and comfort

Heating is primarily provided by a heat pump covering approximately 90% of the property's requirements, supplemented by a gas boiler when outside temperatures fall to around -10°C. Three wood-burning stoves are also installed in the dining room, lounge and office.

The house benefits from fibre-optic internet, together with a dedicated boiler room and storage room.

### Works

No work is required. The current owners have invested approximately €200,000 in the maintenance and modernisation of the property. Improvements include the renovation of the exterior façades, installation of a hard-surfaced parking area, construction of a pergola, creation of an exotic hardwood terrace, installation of travertine paving, a new heat pump, upgraded insulation and humidity-sensitive mechanical ventilation, as well as the complete redesign and refurbishment of the kitchen.

### Guest accommodation potential

Beyond its appeal as a family home, the current layout — three suites each with a dressing room and private bathroom or shower room, together with a fully independent apartment with its own kitchen — means that a guest house or B&B project could be considered immediately, without the need for prior renovation.

The property was featured in 2016 on the French television programme *Bienvenue chez nous* on TF1, at a time when it was already operating as a guest house.

Any future use for tourist accommodation remains subject to the relevant regulations and permissions, which should be verified by the purchaser with the appropriate authorities.

### In summary

An exceptional 354 sqm character property offering beautifully presented accommodation and an impeccable standard of finish, equally suited to family living or a guest house venture. It comprises three suites with fitted dressing rooms and private bathrooms or shower rooms, a self-contained apartment with its own kitchen, a swimming pool with spa area, and fully enclosed landscaped grounds of 1,709 sqm.

A rare opportunity in the very heart of Cavignac.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
