Ali Wright, Independent Agent, says: | Former railway station constructed in 1889 with original fireplace!
Now a lovely four-bedroom house of 160m² with gardens, salt water swimming pool, caretaker’s house and enormous loft-style building surrounded by the Forêt du Landais, 25 minutes north of Bergerac.
| The centerpiece of this property is the former waiting room of 56m², with stunning beech floor, stone fireplace and four tall double glazed doors giving on to the garden on two sides. The property has been sympathetically, and well, restored and further enlarged with a conservatory kitchen of 24m² to the side of the house.
A glazed front door leads into the hall with door to dining room with the original station fireplace and tiled floor, another to the extensive cellar, and to the upper floor via a pretty staircase. There are four bedrooms of which three are doubles and a bathroom with shower stall, corner bath and twin washbasins. Separate WC. There is plenty of storage space.
Heating is by gas-fired Godin stoves in the majority of rooms. The living room fireplace is vented at the rear which permits warm air to rise to the upper floor. All the windows are double glazed.
As well as the house being delightful, there are surprises in store in the garden.
A modern, hexagonal, one bedroom guest house occupies a corner of the garden adjacent to the 12 x 6m salt water pool. Four of the hexagon’s walls are covered in silk fabric, the floor is beech and the views of the garden are superb. There is a small but complete kitchen and bathroom with shower and WC.
There is a gas heating system for the pool.
Then there is a summer house, a small part of which is currently used as a laundry room. It has three large glazed sliding patio doors and is used as an artist’s studio. It could be converted to a second guest cottage.
The gardens are very well maintained. There numerous and interesting plant and tree species many of which were planted in 1889 when the house was built!
At the far side of the property is a building of nearly 500m² over two floors, a part of which dates back to the time of steam that is reflected in the architecture. Once used as a saw mill, then, more recently, a silk printing workshop there a so many uses to which this building could be put. Not least of which one or two loft conversions. It has fairly new aluminum windows, some of which are floor to ceiling, wood floors and part gas heating.
