Alright, so here is the new property description, written as though by a busy agent in a big global network, with the requested features and style:
So, I've recently taken on this property in Beaumontois-en-Périgord, which honestly is a great opportunity especially for those who want to settle in the beautiful south-west of France. I'm getting lots of requests for these stone houses lately, they don't come up very often, and this spot is quite handy for people who want to live close to both nature and history.
Let me set the scene a little. Beaumontois-en-Périgord is right in the heart of Aquitaine, in the Dordogne region, which a lot of expats will know is pretty famous with foreign buyers. The air is clean, the landscape is green, and here you really get the feel of living in a French village but still just a short hop from bigger towns like Bergerac for all your shops, transport, or a night out in town.
Now, living here isn’t like living in Paris or London – you’ll need a car, for sure, because public transport is limited, but in return you get tons of space, privacy and that French rural lifestyle that is getting harder to find these days. The climate is temperate, winters are usually pretty mild (might get a few frosts, but very little snow) and summers are warm but not stifling. It’s a really good place for those who enjoy being outside, with loads of walking, cycling routes, and of course you can head to the local markets almost every week. There’s a real community feel, especially among those who've moved here from abroad – quite a few English speakers around, so you won't feel isolated if your French is not perfect yet.
About the property – this one's a proper stone house, so if you’re dreaming of solid walls and traditional shutters this could tick a lot of your boxes. Plus, it’s already been renovated, so you don’t need to worry about starting from scratch, but there’s still potential to personalise it if you want. Always good for families wanting to make a home of their own and not spend years living among building works. With 230 square meters, it’s got space for a good-sized family, or lots of guests if you’re thinking of having people over from back home.
When you walk in, there’s a hallway that opens up into a bright living room with a pellet stove – really keeps it toasty in the winter. Then you've got a dining area, and the kitchen is already fitted. There’s a wine cellar (which, honestly, in this region is almost essential with all the great local wines), an office area if you work from home, and a separate toilet for guests. Upstairs are four bedrooms – all with these chestnut wood floors, which do bring a bit of character and warmth to each room. The house also has two bathrooms (one is actually a shower room), both of good size and both with toilets, so no long waits in the morning if you’ve got kids or guests.
Storage isn't a problem here with all the outbuildings, so if you have bikes, garden tools, or fancy getting into French hobbies like preserving fruit or winemaking, you'll have the space for it. There’s a laundry room, storeroom, boiler room, an old barn (so much potential here, maybe even art studio or guest house eventually), a 26 m2 garage, plus a big barn that’s about 200m2 – honestly you could do a lot with that space, and a big drying shed if you’re into gardening or pottery, it's good for projects or storage.
The garden here is pretty impressive, just over a hectare, which is more than enough space for a family to enjoy. You can grow your own veg, have chickens if you want, or just sit outside in the shade with a book in the afternoons. There are mature trees, feels very private, good for pets or kids. The property is all fenced in, so no worries about security or animals wandering off.
Alright, I’m not going to say it’s perfect, every house has its bits and bobs – old stone properties do need a little ongoing attention, so keep that in mind. But the hard work’s been done already, so you can move in and take your time doing the bits you want. It’s not some city pad, so don’t expect minimalist lines and all mod cons, but that’s the point for most people who buy here.
Living in this part of France is really about the pace of life; it’s slower, people have time for each other, you shop at markets, you make friends over long lunches, and there’s always something to discover - from medieval villages, to kayaking on the Dordogne river, cycling, hiking, or just enjoying the peace and quiet. Life in Beaumontois-en-Périgord is about quality. Schools are good, people are welcoming, and you’ll really feel part of the area.
