Located on the banks of the Vézère River, le Bugue is an animated town with a busy open-air market every Tuesday morning and a full range of shops, supermarkets, banks, cafés and restaurants.
Set in the center of town on a quiet street, this old stone house is a rare gem. Its honey-colored stone façade has been beautifully renovated and features a balcony with carved wood animal faces. Even rarer for a village house are its spacious stone courtyard with covered dining area and its large garden with trees, landscaped beds and swimming pool. Inside, the house has been fully renovated with quality materials, appliances and fixtures. The house is spacious light and airy with high ceilings, large windows, cream walls and terra cotta tile floors. The décor includes comfortable contemporary furnishings with antique accents. Stairs from the entry lead to the second floor and a large open-plan room with living and dining areas and kitchen. On one side are large windows overlooking the street. On the other side, French doors open to the large stone courtyard with summer salon and covered dining area. Stone stairs lead to the garden and pool. In the sitting area are two upholstered sofas and rattan armchairs grouped near a large wood coffee table. A wall of bookshelves, occasional tables and lamps complement this comfortable room. Adjacent is the dining area with pretty wood table and chairs for 6 people and built-in china cabinets. A wall with wood-topped counter separates the dining and sitting areas from the kitchen with all appliances, equipment and conveniences. The town house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. On the second floor off the living area is a spacious queen-bedded suite with rattan easy chairs. Completing this suite is a large tiled bathroom with separate tub and shower, double trestle sinks and toilet. The second bedroom with double bed is on the ground level. Adjacent on the hall is a bathroom with shower, trestle sink and toilet. Both bedrooms are well decorated with lovely bedcovers, curtains, side tables, lamps and ample wardrobe space. A Perigourdine pearl located in a lively market town. Note: the pool will be built and its surrounding garden landscaped during the winter and early spring of 2008. Photos will be available upon completion. This property rents on a Friday to Friday schedule. |
