Property Description:
Close to Montignac, with the river and the Lascaux caves. The house is approached through an iron-gated entrance, by a sweeping drive from a small country lane. A further impressive gated entrance is to be found giving onto a chemin rural to the west of the property.
The main house is renovated with a new roof, has double glazed hardwood windows and new volets in traditional style. The floors throughout the ground floor are of beech planking in Dordogne style.
Entering the house by the half glazed artisan made front door into the large entrance area with door to the left to the first bathroom containing shower, w.c. and basin in white. The utility room houses a new boiler, currently running on gas, providing constant hot water and central heating. The boiler could also run on oil.
To the right of the entrance hall is a new hardwood staircase leading to the first floor. The staircase lands into an open plan mezzanine with vaulted and heavily beamed ceiling and a double-glazed lucarne window.
A further double-glazed window to the east gives extensive views across to the pretty hamlet of Larres.
A door leads from this area to a corridor leading to two further rooms, with double glazed lucarne windows. The corridor features a large Velux window offering superb lake views.
Continuing from the front door at ground level, through an arch is a modern fitted kitchen/ breakfast room, with gas hob and electric oven and plumbing for dishwasher and washing machine. A double glazed window looks across the pasture to the east.
The kitchen leads into the lounge that is heavily beamed with traditional oak beams and has an original fireplace with a professionally fitted Jotul wood-burning stove, for cosy winter nights. There is an exposed stone “evier” as a feature on one wall in a recessed area. Areas of stone are exposed in the window reveals.
To the rear a French window looks across the lawn straight down to the lake. Two further French windows give onto the orchard and parkland to the front of the property.
A glazed door leads from the lounge down a short corridor to the bathroom with modern white suite and separate toilet. The floors here are beautifully tiled.
Two double bedrooms lead off from the corridor, one with views to the lake terrace and the other with views across the parkland and orchard.
To the south west of the house lies the stone fournil house with large bread oven and two useful rooms. Water electricity and sewers are connected to this building. There is a wc, utility sink, and hand washing basin fitted.
A large stone barn to the south west of the main house forms a courtyard effect, facing the fournil. The courtyard opens onto the lake. An attractive path meanders round the lake, which is well stocked with carp, and a causeway traverses it, forming an upper and lower lake. The lake area is over half an acre. Attractive trees and plants landscape the lakes. From the barn a long meadow leads to a marr or duck pond in a quiet tree surrounded grotto. This meadow has mature oak trees along its length. The orchards provide plum, cherry, walnut, hazel, apple, apricot, chestnut, and pear trees.
