Ancient millhouse with converted barn, very close to Dordogne river

Idyllic would be an understatement to describe this fabulous property! Tucked away in a beautiful valley with a stream running past it and flowing into the nearby Dordogne river, this 17th century mill house has been superbly restored and decorated with great taste and style!
The property consists of the original mill house, along with an adjacent barn with a 4-bedroom guest accommodation. The stream tumbles alongside the mill.
Both houses are surrounded by well-maintained parkland.

Mill house:
Lower level: This part of the mill house building is at the same level as the surrounding land, and has access to the terraces and parkland. What used to be the space with all the milling equipment has been cleverly converted into an entertainment area.
The original mill wheel has been removed but it’s clear where it once was.

First floor: A flight of stone steps leads up to a covered porch and the front door of the mill house. The front door opens into a vast open-plan living and dining area, with a monumental fireplace and windows on all sides, with views towards the river and the parkland downstream. To one side, a couple of steps lead into a small but fully equipped kitchen.

Second floor: A wooden staircase leads up to a huge open-plan bedroom with charming study area and ensuite shower room. This room features a cathedral ceiling and a superb back wall decorated with a black-and-white image of the mill itself. A small spiral staircase leads up to a further mezzanine area.

Barn:
Ground floor: Double glazed doors open into an entrance lobby with doors leading into two separate double bedrooms, each with bathroom and WC. There is also a large garage/workroom at this level.

First floor: A flight of stone steps leads up to the main living area of the converted barn, which features a huge open-plan living/dining room, with a fully equipped kitchen to one side. The cathedral ceiling gives this room an additional feeling of space. At the far end of this room, there are two further double bedrooms and a separate shower room with WC.

Outside:
There is one very large terrace in front of the mill house itself, which has a stone-built summer kitchen to one side, equipped with all the necessary for barbecues on sunny summer evenings. A further terrace looks down the valley towards the river Dordogne

Heating : Combination of woodburner and modern electric radiators.
Insulation : Most of the windows are double glazed and the ceilings are well insulated.
Electricity: The electrical installation is recent and in good condition.
Roof: The mill house still has its original tiles which seem to be in good condition and have been maintained when necessary. The barn roof was replaced about 15 years ago.
Drainage: The property is linked to mains drainage.
