Perched on the hillside with MAGNIFICENT VIEWS over a fairytale valley, a 14TH CENTURY knight's templar PETIT CHATEAU in the Dordogne valley.

The house has been beautifully restored whilst retaining all of its character features; stone walls, huge oak beams, fireplaces, windows...It has 5 BEDROOMS, 4 of which are en-suite, and a vast loft space on the first floor that offers potential for 2 further bedrooms and a bathroom.

There are around ¾ of an acre of MATURE GARDENS surrounding the house, and the possibility of more land if desired. Outside there is a swimming pool, terraces with wonderful views, a courtyard, meadowland with fruit trees and access to the river Dordogne with the possibility of fishing.

The area is known as the Dordogne valley because it is close to the Lot/Dordogne border and the Dordogne river runs through the valley below. The house is located just outside a pretty medieval village with a shop, restaurant/bar/hotel, as well as many other restaurants close by. The medieval market towns of Bretenoux and St Céré are 6 and 9km away respectively, with wonderful architecture, a wide range of shops, restaurants, bank, supermarkets etc. The city of Brive-la-Gaillarde is about a 40 min car drive.
