C18th Manor house near Bergerac

Beautifully renovated C18th Manor house with pool, cottage and pretty riverside location, This estate has been restored over the past 5 years with loving detail, and a wealth of original features such as oak beams and stone walls has been retained. Set in a attractive hamlet, this property is only a couple of minutes walk from the nearest village with shops and restaurants, The principal Manoir, built in 1791, has 8 bedrooms and 5 Bathrooms and is set on three floors. Three large reception rooms – all with stone fireplaces – offer excellent areas to entertain. The first floor has 5 bedrooms – four with private bathrooms, and presents an opportunity to run a hospitality business. A two-bed master suite on the top floor has a bath in one bedroom and wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Another large bedroom on the other side of the property would also be ideal to create another individual suite. The ground floor features polished stone flooring, with new carpeting upstairs. The cottage (100m2) has two bedrooms and one bathroom, with modern kitchen and lounge dining area. With separate driveway, this gite is ideal for clients, or guests & family, Another large outbuilding, currently used as a store-room, lends itself to converting into further accommodation. And a pretty Pigeonnier - used a wine cellar – could provide even further development opportunities. The gardens of 6000m2 (1.5 acres) have a selection of mature fruit trees, shrubs and a large vegetable patch. A seating area opposite the River Dordogne is a delightful spot to soak up the sunshine. A new swimming pool (5m x 10m) is also a lovely spot to enjoy the sunshine, A new oiled-fired boiler was installed four years ago, and the property also has an alarm system. A nearby lane, between the property and river, means there is an inevitable level of road-noise. But this is not intrusive, and is very quiet during evenings and the weekend. The town of Bergerac, and it's airport, is 20 minutes away, and the city of Bordeaux 1 hour 10 minutes,
