4 bedroom country house and pool on the edge of a pretty village
€365 000

Originally a stone barn on the outskirts of the thriving village of Landerrouat, this sympathetic conversion now offers a comfortable and adaptable family home set within the wine region of Entre-deux-Mers and therefore enjoying its beautiful landscapes. Within a few minutes walk, the village offers a depot du pain and a bar restaurant, whilst further shops and services are available in the nearby towns of Duras and Monsegur. A comprehensive range of commercial and leisure activities are available in Sainte Foy La Grande, some 15 minutes drive away. Bergerac airport is about a 35 minute drive and Bordeaux airport can be reached in approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

A wealth of period features, such as revealed stone walls and timber beams tell the history of the property and yet provide the framework for a home with modern facilities, including high speed broadband internet. The open plan living space cleverly blends a vaulted dining room, a large newly fitted kitchen and a mezzanine lounge area. A large yet cosy sitting room is accessed from the dining room, as are the stairs to the first floor. These lead to a galleried landing, with the mezzanine lounge at one end and the master bedroom and en suite bathroom at the other. Three further bedrooms are located on the ground floor and served by the family bathroom with a separate toilet. The property is double glazed throughout, ensuring that the gas central heating is both efficient and effective, whilst in the sitting room there is also a wood burning stove. A covered terrace runs along the eastern side of the house sheltering the primary access to the house, which is through a fully glazed porch/garden room. Attached to the other end of the house is a double garage/workshop/wood store, which can be accessed both from inside and outside the house. Vehicle access to the property is via a driveway, which links two gated entrances, thus providing a drive-through facility.

The house is complemented by a manageable and well kept garden of just under an acre, which has several well defined areas and is securely fenced. The swimming pool (10m x 5m) with Roman steps, is set in one of these areas.
