EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! Nestled by the river, this charming ancient stone house is totally unique. Built in 1609 as a flour mill, it has its own island and a sluice gate controls the river alongside the house to prevent flooding.
Many original features remain inside, and the workings of the mill could be restored as some are still onsite.
The main house is heated by a wood-burning stove and some electric underfloor heating. There is also an open fireplace in the living room. All the living accommodations are above useful stone storage rooms and can be accessed by the full-length balcony.
There is potential to expand the current 3 double bedrooms and bathroom as a large 70m² attached room behind the kitchen (outside) which already has several window openings could be incorporated into the main house or made into separate accommodation (subject to necessary permissions).
There are 3 stone outbuildings at the rear and several stone storage rooms that are possible to convert (subject to necessary permissions). The balcony also gives lovely views of the river and gardens that surround the house.
The nearby village of St-Jean-de-Cole is known as one of the ‘Beaux Villages‘ in France and has some charming restaurants and bars. Every May there is a marvellous annual flower show which is very popular.
Thiviers is the nearest large town with its 3 supermarkets and many shops and services. The lively Saturday market is year-round but particularly popular in the Summer. In the other direction is Brantome, a renowned tourist destination known as the Venice of the Perigord because of its pretty river location, it also has a great market and many interesting shops and restaurants.
Perigueux, the charming capitol of the Dordogne is just a 30-minute drive while the city of Limoges and its international airport is about an hour away.
Work remains to fully update the property, but this will only add to its value. The potential to create a beautiful home is almost realised as a lot of the structural work has already taken place. You could keep horses on the land or provide camping (with necessary permissions).
Altogether a charming property with a wealth of character. If you have questions or would like to view, please contact us. More photographs are available. The house is set back from a road where there is some traffic at peak times.
