Renovated manor house and independent guest house set within 11 hectares of rolling countryside just 2 km from Bergerac. Offering approximately 280 m2 of accommodation, a 310 m2 outbuilding, swimming pool, landscaped parkland, pasture and woodland, the property combines privacy with convenient access to amenities and transport.
Situated just 2 km from the historic centre of Bergerac, this attractive property enjoys an elevated position with panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Set in the heart of the Périgord Pourpre, an area known for its vineyards, rolling landscapes and rich heritage, it offers a peaceful rural setting within easy reach of town amenities.
Bergerac can be reached in approximately three minutes by car, while the railway station and Bergerac Dordogne Périgord Airport are also close by. The location provides a convenient balance between country living and access to shops, restaurants, cultural attractions and transport connections.
The Main Residence
The principal house offers approximately 180 m2 of living space and has been tastefully renovated, retaining period features that contribute to its character. Its symmetrical, south-facing rendered stone façade, topped by a traditional local tiled roof, gives the building a balanced and understated elegance.
The ground floor opens into an attractive travertine entrance hall, with decorative mouldings and a ceiling rose. High ceilings of approximately 3.30 m enhance the sense of space. To the left, a double sitting room benefits from south- and west-facing windows, original parquet flooring and mouldings. Opposite, the dining room continues the same style, with a decorative fireplace that is no longer functional.
The recently fitted kitchen opens directly onto the terrace, providing a practical connection between the interior and the gardens. A further hallway leads to a laundry room, guest WC, storeroom and a spacious garage-workshop. A cellar is also incorporated into the ground-floor level.
An elegant carpeted staircase leads to the first floor, which is currently arranged as the owners' private accommodation. This comprises a substantial bedroom of approximately 35 m2, a contemporary shower room with double basins and a walk-in shower, a dressing room, a study and a separate WC.
On the second floor, a further bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room. The adjoining attic space offers potential for conversion on both sides, subject to the necessary permissions.
Independent Guest House
Adjoining the manor house, the single-storey guest house provides approximately 100 m2 of additional accommodation. It can be used independently or in conjunction with the main residence, offering flexibility for extended family, visiting guests or a potential hospitality activity.
The principal living area is a spacious sitting and dining room with a wood-burning fireplace, creating a welcoming setting for everyday use and entertaining. Two well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, while the recently renovated bathroom includes a bath and a separate WC.
A large, fully equipped kitchen completes the guest house. The two dwellings are connected via a shared linen room, allowing convenient movement between them while retaining the option of separate use.
Outbuildings and Further Potential
A substantial detached building provides approximately 310 m2 of floor space and is currently used as a double garage. Additional facilities include a storage room, a lean-to and a workshop.
The outbuilding requires renovation but offers considerable scope for adaptation to suit a future owner's requirements. Depending on the relevant permissions and technical feasibility, possible uses could include leisure facilities, additional storage or space for professional, agricultural or other activities.
Swimming Pool and Grounds
The property extends to approximately 11 hectares (27 acres) of gently undulating land, combining landscaped parkland, meadow, pasture, woodland and natural hedgerows.
The grounds immediately surrounding the manor house include established ornamental trees, among them magnolia, oak and lagerstroemia, which provide shade and seasonal interest. Further from the house, the land becomes more rural in character, with areas of meadow and pasture currently occupied by three ponies, together with wooded sections and natural boundaries that blend into the surrounding countryside.
A resin-shell swimming pool measuring approximately 9.5 x 4 m, with chlorine treatment, provides an attractive addition to the outdoor living space.
Access is through an electric gate with a video entry system. Although the land is not entirely enclosed, hedgerows border parts of the property, helping to provide privacy while maintaining its natural character.
Potential
Combining a renovated manor house, a connected single-storey guest house, substantial outbuildings and 11 hectares of land, this property offers considerable flexibility in a highly convenient location close to Bergerac.

The extensive outbuilding also offers scope for further use, while the combination of parkland, pasture and woodland provides space for equestrian interests, leisure activities or simply enjoying the surrounding countryside.
With Bergerac, its transport links and amenities just a short distance away, the property offers rural privacy without isolation.
