Midi-Pyrénées, Lot, Souillac, France

Very nicely presented and renovated 7 bedroom property with swimming pool set in over 2 acres in the heart of the Dordogne Valley, full of character and with income potential.

The stone house dates back in part to the Sixteenth Century and offers seven bedrooms, large reception rooms, delightful character features, an independent stone barn, pool and large garden.

This classic French house has a long and interesting past as an Auberge providing refuge to travellers through the centuries.

The house is ideally laid out to continue as a business if desired, but is equally suitable as a large family home with spacious rooms spread over three floors and independent access to the first floor rooms, if required.

The well presented property has retained many of its original character features including a lovely polished stone floor in the dining room, beautiful woodwork in the salon and a delightful vaulted room currently serving as a very stylish office.

The top floor offers a 30 metre room currently used as a games room which could serve as an additional bedroom suite or very large home office area.

The building appears to have been well maintained.

Outside the stone barn is fully independent of the house and could offer additional accommodation opportunities (subject to permissions).

The large garden has been very well planted with mature trees and the swimming pool is not overlooked.

The garden opens onto a wooded area and to countryside beyond, giving a real feeling of space and rural living, despite the property's proximity to the bustling town of Souillac - ideal for shopping and travel connections.

The property is set back from a main road and there is traffic, however once through the gates this large stone house is private and surprisingly peaceful.

Properties of this size and charm in a village location are hard to find and this one is absolutely worth a visit.
