18th CENTURY MANOR, SOUTH PERIGORD

The manor house is located a few kilometers south of the town of Bergerac in the Dordogne region, near a fortified town in the Périgord region renowned for its markets and summer events. Its location is ideal for family use or hosting guests; the proximity of Bergerac airport and its numerous flights to Europe and England is a significant advantage. The city of Bordeaux is a 1.5-hour drive away. The manor house is believed to date from 1720, as evidenced, though not definitively, by the engraved lintel above the kitchen door. The property is accessed via a beautiful tree-lined entrance leading to the wrought-iron gates and railings. The property comprises two buildings, each enclosed by railings and a stone wall: a beautiful Périgord-style longhouse, currently used as a guest house, to the left, and the manor house opposite, creating a superb landscaped garden with a fish pond. The rectangular manor house is built of white stone typical of the region and topped with terracotta tiles. Its living area is approximately 625 m² and it can easily be divided into two separate living spaces. A complete renovation was carried out between 2014 and 2017. The layout is as follows: - On the ground floor: a fully equipped kitchen opening onto the dining room, creating a comfortable 63 m² space with exposed beams, stone walls, and tiled flooring. This space also offers access to the terrace and benefits from dual aspect, ensuring plenty of natural light. There is also a generously sized living room of 80 m² with a stone fireplace, exposed beams, an office area, and a WC. The second part of the ground floor can be made private thanks to a beautiful wooden door. This section comprises two spacious bedrooms (23 and 18 m²) each with an en-suite shower room, a fitted kitchen, a living room with a fireplace and wood-burning stove, and a veranda extending from the living room, providing an additional room with direct access to the garden. -The mezzanine level: Accessed via a magnificent staircase in the living room, this level features a 16 sq m bedroom with a dressing room and ensuite shower room. -Upstairs: From the landing, just a few steps lead to a monumental room that can serve multiple purposes: gym, painting studio, or other creative pursuits. The 128 sq m space boasts exposed beams and stone walls, creating a beautiful aesthetic balance with the modern renovations. Opposite this room are three suites, each with a bathroom and dressing room (26 sq m, 20 sq m, and 17 sq m). At the far end of this room, to the left is an office, and to the right is a suite with a 25.5 sq m bedroom, bathroom, and dressing room. Basement: Located off the entrance, a door provides access to the Manor's vaulted cellar, where the temperature is ideal for storing your finest wines. The longère offers an ideal solution for entertaining friends. Its use as a holiday rental is the current option chosen by the owners. The character of this building has been preserved; its generous dimensions and windows offer dual aspect and abundant natural light. The living space of approximately 173 m² is laid out as follows: a fitted kitchen with an adjoining utility room, a dining room with travertine flooring and a fireplace, and a living room with original flagstone flooring, exposed beams, and a fireplace. A hallway leads to three bedrooms, each with its own shower room. The property includes a stone outbuilding used as a car park, and there is an old barn requiring complete renovation; only a few walls remain. The property extends over 8.8 hectares, including 3.4 hectares of non-contiguous woodland located 500 meters from the property. There are two entrances, each with its own wrought-iron gate, and one offers a beautiful
