It is just on the border of the Dordogne in the department of the Lot-et-Garronne.
Just six kms away is the lovely town of Lauzun, with its Chateau which is open to visitors in the summer months, a beautiful tranquil park with picnic tables and a large lake.
There are two restaurants in the village, a small hotel, a pharmacy, tabac, village shop, 2 banks and the most wonderful little bakery.
The road to Lauzun from the property is gently undulating and a safe route to cycle along.
For main supermarkets Miramont is about nine kms away.
The historic bastide town of Eymet is only 12kms away and boasts a fabulous pizzeria, many shops, cafes, galleries and restaurants.
A great experience in the summer is the weekly night market when locals and tourists gather in the town square for a bustling market full of local arts and crafts, clothes and regional produce.
Bergerac Dordogne airport is 30 minutes away.
Bordeaux and Toulouse international airports are 1.5 and 2 hours respectively.
The nearby surrounding areas are full of vineyards, orchards, chateau and typical historic French towns with daily markets and lots of things to see and do.

Through the front door and you are in the kitchen/diner which is approx 3.5 x 4 m. This has a tiled terracotta floor and original pantry style cupboard.
Typical of French kitchens, it has an old porcelain sink and drainer unit, free standing furniture and cooker. There is plenty of room for a dining table and chairs.
The loft could be converted to provide additional accomodation with stairs leading to the loft from the kitchen.
Due to the thickness of the old stone walls the kitchen is very cool in the summer and cosy in the winter.
To the right of the kitchen is the lounge, this is approx 3 x 4 metres, it has beautiful views over the garden and village. It has lovely long wooden French style windows with wooden shutters.
The lounge has old oak floorboards and a wooden panelled ceiling, the walls are rustic and white washed with a feature wall of exposed stone. It has a grey marble fronted open fireplace with a tiled hearth and grate for burning logs.
This room is cosy in the winter and bright and airy in the daytime.
To the left of the kitchen is the bedroom, this is approx 3.5 x 3 metres. This also has terracotta tiled floor and a wood panelled ceiling, It has French style PVC window in a small bay, with wooden shutters to side road.
Off the bedroom is the bathroom, with a hand basin and shower. Next door to this is the macerator WC.
Adjoining the house are the outbuildings.
Firstly there is a small barn which is double storey which could accommodate further bedrooms/ bathroom or a self contained holiday home.
There is a staircase to the main house loft area in this barn.
Next to the barn is a small single story room and an old shed area with the original out side toilet.
These out buildings would make a lovely addition to the original house or could be kept as a separate unit for guests or letting.
It's a property with tons of potential and sensibly priced. Well worth a visit.
