There’s nothing more lovely than an old stone building renovated with taste and style. And this 19th-century barn is a standout. Surrounded by woodlands and fields, the property includes a lovely natural garden with large lawn and shade trees.
Near the house are a pretty swimming pool with stone tile terrace, landscaped flower beds and arbored terrace with outdoor dining furniture. The view is out over the lawns to the fields and hills beyond. Inside, the house has been beautifully renovated featuring exposed stone walls, stone tile floors, heavy beamed ceilings and attractive contemporary furnishings. Entry is into the spacious open-plan living room with kitchen and dining area. This exceptional room is light and bright with cathedral ceilings and several sets of French doors opening to the grounds, one of which is set into the frame of the original barn doors. In the sitting area is a Burgundy-colored upholstered sofa and two rattan easy chairs grouped in front of the fireplace. Stairs lead to a mezzanine den with additional seating, music system and television. A low wall with built-in shelves separates the living room from the dining area with pretty wood dining table for 6 people. Opposite is the fully-equipped galley-style kitchen with colorful tile counters and yellow wood cabinets. A corridor from the sitting area leads to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. All of the bedrooms have wood beds, pretty bedcovers and exposed stone features. The bathrooms have attractive stone tilework. There are also separate toilet facilities off the living room. A wonderful restoration in the Périgourdine tradition near a scenic riverside village. |
