Opis:

This property is offered for sale at a significantly reduced, non-negotiable price. Early viewing is strongly recommended.

Occupying an idyllic position in the hills above Riberac sits this charming four bedroomed house that has been renovated to extremely high standards. Originally a small farm cottage with attached barn, the barn has been transformed into a dramatic open plan living space opening out into beautiful gardens which feature a heated swimming pool.

There is an adjoining field that could be used for grazing animals but, with the right permissions, it could also be a lovely plot on which to build another house.

Prospective buyers may be interested to know that the vendor would be prepared to sell (via separate negotiation) much of the furniture in the house.

The former barn creates an impressive open plan living area with a full height vaulted ceiling and is complete with a top quality, fitted kitchen in one corner equipped with dishwasher, electric oven and an electric induction hob set beneath an extractor hood. There is space for a large dining table and to one end a stone fireplace with an open fire which complements the underfloor heating and creates a cosy area to relax in.

The original barn doors have been fully glazed so the area is flooded with natural light. There is an oak staircase leading to a large mezzanine level with built in storage cupboards - this is currently used as a guest bedroom but could also provide a really nice space for a study.

A rear lobby leads from the old barn and provides access to a downstairs w.c. and a Utility Room. Also on the ground floor is a comfortable Snug with a Godin wood burning stove and a Bedroom with ensuite Bathroom.

A staircase from the rear lobby leads to two further double Bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite Shower Room.

The house sits alongside a quiet country lane behind a low stone wall with an electrically operated gate providing access to a graveled courtyard, to one side of which is an open sided barn that provides covered parking for at least two cars. There are further stone outbuildings which contain the boiler for the oil fired central heating, the oil tanks and a workshop.

The gardens are fully fenced and are an absolute delight, with open views and plenty of mature trees and shrubs that provide a mass of summer colour. Keen gardeners will also be tempted by the large greenhouse.

The 9m by 5m salt-water swimming pool is heated via an aerothermic heat exchanger and enjoys the sunshine all day long. There is a dining terrace to the rear of the house which has an electrically operated sun blind to provide shade and shelter. The property benefits from a well with an electric pump, providing free water for the garden and the pool.

Despite the tranquil location, the market town of Riberac is within walking distance (alternatively 3 minutes by car) and offers plenty of local shops, bars, cafes and restaurants along with two large supermarkets. The Friday market is renowned for its provision of fresh, local produce. Access to the property could not be easier with the options of Bergerac airport (1 hour), Bordeaux airport (1 hour 20 minutes) or the TGV in Angouleme (45 minutes).

Agency fees of 5% are included in the asking price.
