SOLD SUBJECT TO CONTRACT -

Surrounded by vineyards & woodland, this renovated 5-bed stone farmhouse is situated in a peaceful area, yet just down the road from the riverside village centre where there is a bar & grocery store. The gardens are pretty and spacious with a swimming pool, large barn & plenty of parking. Just 10mins from Ste-Foy-la-Grande.

The grounds cover just over 3/4 of an acre (3215m2).   The entrance opens onto a gravel parking area and gardens that are very well maintained, with lovely lawns, fruit trees and interesting planting.   The swimming pool is 11 x 5m and is fenced to standard.  There is a beautiful large barn, currently used for storage.  The roof of the barn has recently been redone and insulated. 

Location:

With vineyards on one side, and a small area of woodland on the other, the house is situated on the edge the riverside village of Eynesse, where there is a grocery store and bar.  Despite the proximity to the village centre, the neighbours are at a discreet distance away (at least 70m), so the property is not overlooked and it’s just a 750m wander down to the Dordogne river. 

Sainte-Foy-La-Grande, the renowned beautiful bastide town is just a 10 min drive away, or a 20 minute bike ride along the river.  The weekly fresh produce market in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande is reputedly the best in the entire south-west region!  There is also  a great selection of restaurants, shops, cafés and bars as well as useful amenities such as supermarkets, college, high school and a train station with direct links straight into Bordeaux and Bergerac, which is where the nearest airports are.
