Description

A48095SHH24 - Potential uses could include a boutique hotel or maison d’hôtes, gîtes, serviced accommodation, wedding or events venue, retreat or wellness centre, restaurant with rooms, or a multi-generational residence. The scale and layout could also lend themselves to specialist accommodation such as a senior living or care project, subject to the necessary permissions.

With C-rated energy performance, mains water, a private 100m well and excellent infrastructure, this is a rare opportunity in a beautiful and accessible corner of the Périgord Vert.

The property is not a finished business, but it is considerably further advanced than a typical renovation project. Several areas are already renovated or usable, while other parts require finishing or refurbishment. This gives a new owner the possibility of opening and generating income relatively quickly, while completing the remaining works over time.

CURRENT ACCOMMODATION

A two-bedroom house and a one-bedroom apartment have been fully renovated and are ready to occupy or let.

A further two-bedroom apartment is close to completion and requires only finishing touches.

The former hotel rooms are structurally sound and usable, although they would benefit from updating and freshening before being put back into operation.

There is also a one-bedroom house and a studio apartment requiring renovation, providing further potential accommodation.

When fully developed, the property could provide approximately 10 to 11 letting units in addition to an owner's accommodation.

RESTAURANT AND HOSPITALITY

The property includes a stainless-steel professional kitchen in which is largely equipped and ready to be brought back into service, together with a substantial dining area. The kitchen incorporates the following zones, vegetable prep, washing up, service, storage/reserve, refrigeration, also a laundry room with washing and drying machines.

This opens up a number of possibilities, including a restaurant with rooms, breakfast and brunch service, afternoon teas, private dining, weddings, celebrations and other events.

The scale of the property and its existing infrastructure make it particularly well suited to a bed and breakfast, boutique guesthouse, holiday rental or mixed hospitality business.

The grounds also include a productive vegetable garden and greenhouse, offering the possibility of developing a more distinctive food-focused or farm-to-table concept.

POOL, WELLNESS AND FURTHER POTENTIAL

The swimming pool and pool house require renovation. This could become one of the most attractive features of the property, either as a restored swimming pool and leisure area or potentially as a wellness, spa, or treatment space.

The separate buildings and different areas of the estate also allow considerable flexibility. Accommodation, private living space, hospitality areas and future projects can be kept relatively independent of one another.

A PROJECT THAT CAN DEVELOP IN STAGES

One of the main advantages of this property is that the work does not all have to be completed before it can begin to fulfil its potential.

The renovated house and apartment could be occupied or rented immediately. The second apartment requires only finishing work, while the existing hotel rooms and restaurant provide a substantial base from which to develop the business.

The remaining renovation projects can then be undertaken progressively, according to the new owner's plans and budget.

This makes it an interesting proposition for someone who wants to establish a hospitality or tourism business without starting entirely from scratch.

POTENTIAL USES

The property could lend itself to a number of different projects, including:
Boutique-hôtel ou chambres d'hôtes
Bed and breakfast with restaurant
Gîtes and holiday accommodation
Restaurant with guest accommodation
Wedding and events venue
Wellness or retreat centre
Afternoon tea or private dining venue
Multi-generational residence with rental accommodation
A combination of private residence and hospitality business
Specialist accommodation such as a senior living or care project, subject to the necessary permissions.

The existing buildings, professional kitchen, accommodation, grounds, pool area and extensive parking provide a substantial infrastructure from which to create a bespoke business.

THE GROUNDS

The estate extends to approximately 1.3 hectares and includes private parkland, a field suitable for animals, extensive parking, a vegetable garden, greenhouse, ornamental ponds and a fountain.

There is also a private 100-metre-deep well with pump, used for irrigation and providing an additional water resource alongside the mains supply.

CONSTRUCTION AND CHARACTER

Although parts of the property date back much further, the principal buildings were constructed in the 1950s and substantially extended and rebuilt during the 1990s. Period features and traditional materials were incorporated into the later construction, including hand-carved stonework, fireplaces, staircases and vaulted ceilings.

The result is a property with the appearance and atmosphere of an older Périgord estate, combined with the advantages of more recent construction.

The property has an energy rating of C, which is notable given its size.

LOCATION

Situated in the peaceful Périgord Vert, between Verteillac and Cherval, the property enjoys a rural setting while remaining within easy reach of local amenities.

The area is known for its wooded countryside, traditional villages, markets and gastronomy, and offers strong potential for tourism and holiday accommodation.

Bordeaux international airport is approximately two hours away, while Angoulême provides TGV connections to Paris.

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.
