An Extension for Today’s Living

Attached to the original stone house is a large conservatory, complete with double glazing. Behind this is a utility room, providing practical space for laundry and more. The conservatory acts as a link to the more recently built section of the house, which was constructed about a decade ago. While this newer part has a modern interior, its exterior was designed to match the old stone building, maintaining a cohesive look. This extended area boasts a large open-plan kitchen and dining room. Sliding patio doors open onto a terrace that gets plenty of sun. A staircase leads up to the master bedroom, which has an en-suite bathroom and its own rooftop terrace, offering a private outdoor retreat.

Outdoor Living and Potential

Beyond the main house, there’s a separate outbuilding. Currently, it’s set up as a summer kitchen, a storage area, and a workshop. This flexible space offers a lot of potential for different uses, depending on your needs – perhaps a separate guest suite, an art studio, or a dedicated hobby space.

The gardens surrounding the property are mature, with a variety of trees and well-established shrubs. You’ll find both lawned areas and gravel driveways, leading up to entrance gates. For cooling off on warm days, there’s a partly sunken swimming pool measuring 5 by 4 meters.

Local Amenities and Surroundings

One of the appealing aspects of this property is its proximity to local amenities. A short stroll down a pathway behind the house, accessible through the garage, leads you to a nearby village. Here, you’ll find essential services like a restaurant, a baker, and a butcher. For more extensive shopping and dining options, the popular market town of Piegut is just a short drive away, offering a supermarket, bars, and restaurants. The city of Angouleme is also within reach, about a 40-minute drive.

Nature lovers and those seeking outdoor recreation will appreciate the lake beach at St. Estephe. It features a snack bar, a restaurant, and canoe rentals. The area around the lake is perfect for walks and is particularly popular during the tourist season. This region of the Dordogne is known for its scenic beauty and numerous places to explore, making it an ideal base for discovering the surrounding countryside.
