Bergerac, Dordogne, France

Electric gates and a sweeping drive lead to this property of exceptional style.  The renovation has been done expertly, achieving a contemporary interior without sacrificing the character of the building. It is in a sought after location, surrounded by vineyards, with only distant neighbours. 

Bergerac is the Dordogne's major wine producing town, peaceful, popular and with some of the finest medieval houses in the region.  The old town centres around Place Pelissiere which is a lovely square, edged with cafés and restaurants.  The market, held on a Saturday is a particularly good one and draws locals and visitors from the surrounding area. Within the town there is a tobacco museum, maison des vins showing the history of the local wines, summer concerts and boat trips along the Dordogne River.

The property has a total habitable space of 376m².  The entrance hall, which has a feature fireplace leads into a wide open space combining the sitting room, dining room and kitchen.  It has a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, stone walls and tiled floor.  The huge windows flood the room with light.  There is a separate laundry room and a study/workshop which could be converted into a further bedroom.  The master suite is on the ground floor.  It really is a "suite" with a sumptuous bathroom, dressing room and private terrace.

Upstairs is a cosy TV/cinema room, an office and two further bedrooms which share a shower room.

Outside there is a generous shaded terrace, ideal for relaxing poolside, with glorious views over  acres of vines and for enjoying outdoor meals in the fine weather which this region enjoys.  The pool measures 16m x 4m and is filled with salt water.

Quite separate from the main house is a fully renovated one bedroom apartment which is perfect for friends, family or even holiday lets.  It has a shower room and its own patio with pretty views from the open plan kitchen/sitting room.  Above the detached garage is a games/exercise room.  Given the volume of the space and light, it would be equally suitable as an art or perhaps photographic  studio

Although the property is in a rural spot, it is only a few kilometres from village shops and a number of popular small towns.  Bergerac would be the place for a larger shop, for the station and the international airport.  There are regular non stop flights from a number of UK airports.
