Pessac-Sur-Dordogne, Dordogne

Property Description

This magnificent 4-bedroom riverside house with self-contained 2-bedroom gîte is situated at the edge of a delightful village with shops and restaurants. It has been beautifully renovated and is shortly to be feature in a glossy home-interest magazine. It is centrally heated and has mains drainage. Bergerac Airport is 30 minutes away.

This superb historic village house was originally the home of the local ferry man. Situated at the edge of the village on the river bank, the house has been lovingly restored and today the property offers you something really special. 

The ground floor is made up of an enormous living room with open-plan kitchen (77m2), a pantry, utility room, a summer kitchen,  a boiler room and a separate loo.  The main living room/kitchen has a wonderful high ceiling (3.60m) , 'girondine' tiled floor, a wood-burner, great chandeliers  and stone pillars as well as having professional quality stainless steel kitchen equipment. 

Through large double doors, a  handmade staircase takes you up to the bedroom level where you will find the master bedroom suite (bedroom 20m2 with shower room 3.4m2 and a dressing room). On the same floor there are 3 further bedrooms (13m2, 16m2 and 17m2) as well as a bathroom with bath and shower. Antique doors, and wooden floors give the bedroom level a super feel which of course is further accentuated by the lovely views over the river from the master bedroom and another of the bedrooms.  

The second house offers you a good sized fitted kitchen, a big living room/dining room (28m2) with a balcony looking out over the river, as well as Bedroom 1. On the first floor you will find the larger Bedroom 2 (22m2) and the shower room with WC. The second house is linked to the main house via a corridor, which can either be left open to give you a 6 bedroom family home or closed to offer you two separate houses.   

The entire building has been insulated recently and also has the benefit of oil-fired central heating and mains drainage.  The garden (710m2) is either walled or fenced, with gates down to the towpath and the river. It has several terraces where it is possible to enjoy a quiet moment - or perhaps an aperitif. Being situated at the edge of the village, the house is easy walking distance from all the local shops, restaurants, the old port with it's summer bar, and there are many activities on offer such as canoeing/kayaking and obviously fishing. 

Here you really have the advantages of a country house while still being in the village. Bergerac Airport is 30minutes away, while the airport at Bordeaux is 1 hour away. The nearest station is Vélines which takes about 4 minutes in the car, and which has direct trains to Libourne and Bordeaux.  This very special property is being featured in 'Period Living' magazine.
