Ref.G448 House of character 220 000 € ^FAI

Situated in a charming residential hamlet on the banks of The River Dordogne, this delightful 18th C stone house enjoys a south facing aspect looking over the river. Not only beautiful views, but straight out of the door in any direction, there are tranquil walks along the lanes and quiet narrow roads.  This really is a desireable and sought after location, not too far away from the thriving village of Gensac and the bastide town of Ste Foy la Grande where there are supermarkets, shops and other services.

The house is separated from the garden, by a little road, of 3 metres width.  Basically the garden is maintained grassland leading down to the river, where one can moor a small boat or go paddling/swimming.  Ideal position for summer barbecues looking across the river.

Large light rooms with plenty of original and interesting features, including an impressive stone fireplace, and original locally quarried floor tiles. The spacious integral garage has a very convenient internal door into the kitchen. Currently two good sized upstairs bedrooms, but a third could readily be made available by utilising the mezzanine floor.
