Description

Discover a charming manor-style home nestled in the heart of Limeuil, a village acclaimed as one of France's most beautiful. This six-bedroom property, set against the backdrop of the picturesque Dordogne River, offers a unique blend of historic allure and modern potential, making it an ideal choice for expatriates or overseas buyers looking for a taste of French village life.

Originating as a customs house for river merchants, this 342m2 residence retains its period charm while presenting numerous possibilities for customization. The house, which has been under the care of the same family for the last six decades, features an elegant gated courtyard entrance leading to a welcoming eat-in kitchen. Here, the original cobbled stone floor sets a rustic tone that continues into a convenient laundry room adjacent to the kitchen.

As you explore further, you'll find a series of rooms including technical spaces housing the boiler and pool equipment, as well as a workshop. A spacious room currently used as a games area offers further versatility. On this level, there is also an additional room which can serve as either an extra bedroom or a study, with direct access to the terrace, perfect for enjoying the serene outdoor setting.

Central to the home is a dining room situated in what was the formal entrance. This space is highlighted by its original tiled floors and an exquisite wooden staircase, leading up to a south-facing, sun-drenched salon. Double doors from the salon open out onto a large, shaded terrace that offers uninterrupted views of the river, providing a peaceful retreat or an exceptional entertaining space.

The upper floors house the sleeping quarters, including a principal bedroom with enchanting dual aspect river views and an en suite bathroom. Additional bedrooms vary in size and function, with potential for a dressing room or further en suite facilities. The vast attic, accessible via a secondary staircase, features vaulted ceilings and could be transformed into additional bedrooms or bathrooms with the appropriate permissions.

One of the property’s unique features is a two-bedroom annex situated above the games room, requiring renovation but offering great potential as a luxurious guest apartment or a separate dwelling by incorporating the lower games room. This space provides a creative opportunity for those willing to undertake a renovation project.

Outside, the property's nearly an acre (0.5 hectares) of mature walled gardens includes an old village laundry source and a sizable 10 x 5m swimming pool—a rarity in such a historic village setting.

Living in Limeuil offers residents a blend of cultural richness and natural beauty. The village is situated at the confluence of the Dordogne and Vézère rivers, providing abundant opportunities for water sports and fishing.
