Saint Estèphe (Dordogne) - Fully Renovated Four Bedroom Farmhouse, Close to Leisure Lake and Amenities

Property Description

LISTED EXCLUSIVELY WITH ALLEZ-FRANCAIS
Located in a peaceful hamlet sits this beautifully renovated, four bedroom stone farmhouse with delightful gardens and a stone barn. The renovation has ensured that the character of the property has been retained whilst incorporating insulation and double glazing to ensure thermal efficiency.
Although the property is attached to both sides, it enjoys considerable privacy thanks to the walled courtyard to the front and the extensive, parkland style gardens to the rear.
A private driveway passes through parkland style grounds to a parking area with two covered car ports. A graveled pathway then runs through pretty, cottage style gardens to the house, passing an above ground swimming pool and a series of small stone outbuildings.
A spacious dining kitchen sits at the heart of the house with a Rayburn wood burning range cooker that also supplies hot water for both the house and for the central heating system. The range cooker sits within an old stone fireplace whilst on the opposite side of the room is a modern fitted kitchen with an electric halogen hob set beneath an extractor hood and space for an American style fridge/freezer. The kitchen has external doors to both sides of the property, one leading into the garden and the other into a walled, cobbled courtyard with access to a cellar and the stone barn. The barn is currently set up as a workshop and provides plenty of storage for firewood, however it could also be used as a garage.
In addition to a ground floor w.c., the other room on this level is the double aspect lounge which has a range of hand built book shelves. It is focussed around a granite fireplace, within which sits a wood burning stove, and has French windows opening onto a deck overlooking the garden.
A solid oak staircase rises to the first floor landing which is large enough to act as a study or home office. There are two double bedrooms on this floor along with a well-appointed bathroom featuring double wash basins and both a corner bath and walk-in shower cubicle.
The staircase continues to the second floor where two further bedrooms have been created within the loft space, both with skylight windows. A section of the loft has been retained to provide useful storage.
There is a bar/restaurant within easy walking distance whilst the popular leisure lake of Saint Estèphe is only 2km away and offers a beach with supervised swimming, café, restaurant, kayaking, fishing and a children’s play area. The bustling market town of Piégut-Pluviers is just a 5 minute drive….it’s weekly market is the largest in the area with the entire town centre being filled with stalls offering fresh regional produce. In addition, there are a great range of local shops and facilities with bars, restaurants, boulangeries, butchers, delicatessens, clothes shops, banks and a post office. Limoges airport can be reached in 50 minutes whilst the TGV rail network can be accessed in Angouleme in a similar time.
