This charming old house is situated on the
edge of a peaceful hamlet in the Perigord Vert, yet is just 8km from a thriving market town offering
all necessary amenities. The property sits on half a hectare of land (5000
square metres) with a well, established fruit trees and lovely views.
Currently the house has 2 attic bedrooms
which could be converted to provide one large bedroom. There is also scope to
create an additional bedroom by converting part of the car port at the front of
the property.
There is a large barn (adjacent but not
attached to the house) which could be converted to provide additional
accommodation if required.

Agents comments.
This house is full of character and charm
and offers excellent value for money in this part of France. Whilst the house is
immediately habitable there is scope to improve the layout upstairs to make
better use of the available space. There is also the opportunity to create
additional living accommodation by incorporating part of the car port into the
house.
The barn is in a good over all condition
and provides the potential to create a second house and generate gite / rental income if desired.
