Property description

In a small hamlet, 10 minutes from Verteillac, this large farmhouse and converted outbuildings , currently run as a registered gite business, offers further scope for a fabulous family home with maison d'amis or granny annex.
The current owners have chosen to offer accomodation for couples only, generally excluding children and have achieved annual earnings of about 15,000 euros for last year, but there is certainly scope to change the format to provide a higher income.

Accessed from the courtyard the owners accomodation centres on a large barn conversion of 120 sq metres of living/dining room with built in, open plan, characterful kitchen, attractive mezzanine, feature fireplace with logburner and french doors to terraces and pool. With its stone-tiled floor this is a fabulous room for parties and entertaining, in fact previous owners considered opening a restaurant!

A door leads up a few steps to a bedroom suite with a beamed double bedroom, with chestnut flooring and origional built in wardrobe.
Opposite is a family bathroom with corner bath, w.c. and bidet and a dressing room with vanity unit.

There are extensive cellars with laundry and boiler rooms and a linked spacious and light office/reception area.

GITE 1 adjoins the owners accomodation and is accessible from it although it also has its own entrance from the courtyard and a rear access to the gardens, pool and terraces. It comprises a living/dining /kitchen room with exposed beams and open fireplace, a double bedroom and a separate shower-room with w.c.
This area could easily be altered to provide owners accomodation totalling three or even four bedrooms and still retain two letting gites.

Both Gite 1 and the owners accomodation enjoy gas fired central heating.

GITE 2 adjoins the office but has its own front door from the courtyard. On the ground floor is a fitted kitchen /dining room with logburner, whilst up the marble stairs is a cosy, romantic bedroom/sitting room with en-suite shower-room. Exposed beams and a great view over the valley to a local chateau are features.

GITE 3 is an adjacent single storey house with extensive storage cellars. It has its own private garden, detached garage and patio overlooking countryside. It is separately metered for electricity and water and could provide a long term letting opportunity. It comprises of a living/dining kitchen with logburner, a small study area/ second bed space, shower-room with w.c. and a light spacious double bedroom.

Accessed from the front of the property are a large garage/workshop with storage over and an outbuilding converted into a mini gym with wall mirrors and fitness equipment.

From the office a door leads into a 120 sq metre enclosed barn, currently divided to provide a games area with snooker and table tennis, and a clothes drying area with barn door access.

Outside the property is surrounded by easily managed gardens with fruit and nut trees, large paved terraces provide ample leisure areas and the 10x5 metre swimming pool has stunning countryside views. There is also a parking area and wild flower meadow, with a well and an arbour, just across the lane.
