Description

The main part of the manor house dates back to the late 14th and early 15th centuries, although it is thought that the origins of a dwelling in this location go back to Roman times. An extension with a new facade was constructed in the Renaissance period and is now further enhanced with a stunning wisteria. This is a site where battles have been planned over the centuries, from well before the French Revolution through until WW2, where it became an important part of the local Resistance. It is even thought that Prince Henri stayed in the house before he became King Henri IV. Nowadays, the property is much more peaceful, set in a countryside location just outside a lively village around 30 kilometres from Bergerac with its international airport.

Renovations in the manor house are well underway, with double/triple glazed windows and underfloor heating keeping running costs low. The renovations have been undertaken with great care to maintain original features, including numerous fireplaces dating from medieval times through to Louis XVI. The ground floor has a double height kitchen with Godin cooker and stone sinks. The gallery is being used as a sunny dining room, overlooking the terrace that used to be a courtyard in the past. The main salon and a study has been renovated and an additional reception room is next on the list. On the first floor, there is further work to be done to create two further large bedrooms with dressing rooms and bathrooms. The vast attic gives further options for more rooms if required. The building is not classified as a Monument Historique, so further development is possible.

The guest annexe has been used as a gite and is renovated to excellent modern standards with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a large living dining room. In addition a large barn, found between the manor house and the gite provides further opportunity for development.

Outside is a formal terrace area with well, gardens around the buildings, a swimming pool and over 2 hectares of mainly pasture land, including a moat and a shelter for horses.
