THIS beautiful old farmhouse is brimming with charm and only five minutes from the village of Eymet in the Dordogne.
On the edge of the Bergerac wine region, it sits in over a hectare of land.
The house itself sits high above the land with a large south facing terrace that looks out onto a beautiful wildflower garden in Spring and a rose garden in summer with some rare breed plants.
In a very tranquil location, it's the perfect place to unwind.
The only noise to be heard is the breeze through the surrounding trees.
Bergerac and the airport are about 30 minutes from the property.

Property in the Dordogne like this one doesn't come along too often. This stone farmhouse many centuries old has no shortage of original features such as terracotta floor tiles, exposed stone walls and oak beams throughout.
The house is deceptively large witgh approximately 315 sq. mtrs of habitable space.
The entrance from the garden path is into a hallway with original floor tiles and stone walls. To the right, off the hallway is the ground floor bathroom (2m x 3m) with bath, shower, wash hand basin and wc.
Opposite is a large room (5m x 7.5m) with two steps up to a sleeping area, the lower part of which is large enough for a smallo sitting room.
The entrance hall also provides ample space for storage.
An elm staircase from the hallway leads to a landing halfway up and into a bedroom (5m x 5m) with french doors onto a west facing exterior staircase and a south facing window. These stairs could also provide spearate access top the entire top floor.
At the top of the stairs is a library (4m x 7m) and reading area with wood flooring and french doors onto the west facing exterior steps.
Off the landing onthe first floor is a door leding to a second large bedroom (10m x 7m) with two windows onthe south wall and french windows to the east side of the house.
This room could also make a superb sitting room.
Steps up from the library landing lead to a mezzanine dressing room, off which is a second bathroom (3m x 3m) with bath, wash hand basin and wc. There is a window looking east.
From the landing on the first floor a wooden spiral staircase leads down into the main sitting room (7.5m x 6.5m) with its huge original stone chimney. There are two laqrge windows on the north side and one looking east.
From the sitting room there are five steps down into the dining room (10m x 5m) with stone fireplace, original terracotta floor tiles and exit to south facing terrace and the garden.
The dining room leads into the kitchen (6m x 5.5m) which is bright and spaciousz with a corner breakfast area and a space that could also be an informal dining area, currently used as a sitting room. Triple doors from the kitchenh lead out onto the south facing terrace.
The land of approximately one hectare (2.5 acres) is bordered by the stream and would make perfect pasture for horses.
