In the barn there are 2 new hot water tanks (both 300 litres) and a Wiessman boiler with 2000 litre oil tank. The barn currently has a mezzanine level (33m2) which could easily be converted to a further bedroom and bathroom and have either its own access and/or an access from the main house if the work was to be completed.

A separate stone studio (18m2) with tiled floor and exposed stonework is also accessible from the courtyard.

LOCATION

Within easy reach of the village of Belves with all amenities and a weekly Saturday market.

This property is based in the Dordogne (often referred to by its ancient name "The Périgord"). Although times may have changed over the years the beautiful Dordogne landscape, in one of the most beautiful areas of France, continues to offer something to amaze and delight everyone. This ancient land, deep in the heart of sunny south-west France, is perfect holiday country; a magical place that will reward all those who choose to explore it.

The Périgord Noir where the vast majority of our properties are located, is the 'Jewel in the Crown' of the Dordogne for here, in the triangle formed between the rivers Vézère and Dordogne, you will find the greatest concentration of natural wonders and historic sites, and the loveliest stretches of both rivers. The area is bounded by four famous towns and this property is well situated within this boundary - Sarlat, a medieval treasure house; Périgueux, a thriving and sophisticated small city; Bergerac, shippers of wine since the Middle ages and Monpazier, an extraordinarily well preserved bastide built by King Edward I in 1285.

Less than 1 hour from Bergerac airport, 1.5 hours from Brive airport, 2.5 hours from Bordeaux airport/TGV station and 2 hours from Toulouse airport.
