This property is situated just 5 minutes from the ancient wine producing village of Duras with its imposing hillside Chβteau standing guard over the valleys and plains below. Here you will find shops, restaurants, schools etc. The larger bastide town of Sainte Foy la Grande is only 15 minutes away.  Bergerac International Airport which operates low cost flights from most parts of the UK is just 40 minutes away and Bordeaux with its wine, culture and International Airport is reachable in less than an hour and a quarter.
 
Typically, this house features all you would expect from an old farmhouse in this part of the region, exposed stone walls and beams, original floor tiles and barns crying out for a new lease of life. The kitchen and Lounge are in beautiful condition whereas the rest of the house needs some redecorating and modernization. Make no mistake the house is very habitable but would benefit from an imaginative eye here and there. The real 'piece de resistance' is the parkland garden, and indeed the current owners spend most of their time in it enjoying the outdoor life eating 'al fresco' at any and every opportunity. They have even installed a summer kitchen/covered dining area with water and electricity supplied for cooking, refrigeration, music and lighting. What more could you want!
