This newly finished barn conversion is the long term project of the owners, passionate about nature and preserving the environment. The property consists of two stone barns, dating from the 18th century, which have been lovingly restored and joined together with a contemporary extension, complete with a green roof. Natural materials, such as lime and hemp, have been used throughout, and old materials and furniture have been recycled to find new and valued use.

The entrance door opens directly into:
* a large open plan dining kitchen with central island. The kitchen is brand new and fully equipped with electric oven, hob, dishwasher, side by side fridge freezer, coffee machine, kettle, toaster.... a dining table and eight chairs is placed in front of the large french windows through which you will appreciate the pond just beyond, and watch the insects and birds come to drink!! The central island is built of mainly recycled materials, and mixes recuperated metal and wood with a modern design.
* a comfortable sitting room, opening onto the kitchen through an archway, with large corner sofa, armchairs, flat screen TV, coffee table and french windows opening onto a terrace.
* leading off the kitchen, a corridor leads to a shower room, with a large walk in, fully tiled shower with twin wash basins set on a natural wood unit. There is also a washing machine and tumble dryer.
* a separate toilet completes the ground floor.

A staircase leads to the first double bedroom:
* set in the first barn, and accessible from the corridor leading off the kitchen, the bedroom offers a large double bed (160cm wide), dressing table, hanging rail, table and two chairs, bedside tables and lamps. It benefits from a private decked terrace and direct access to the exterior.

The second sleeping accommodation is accessible via the spiral staircase leading out of the lounge:

Set at the crossroads of the Dordogne and the Lot, the house is ideally situated for visiting the main tourist sites of the region.
Although it is set in a beautiful and very quiet rural setting it offers the benefit of being 5 minutes drive to the pretty village of Daglan, which boasts a grocery, a boulangerie, butcher, restaurants, many local artisans, tourist information centre, and a thriving weekly market.
Bergerac airport is an easy 50 minutes drive away and medieval Sarlat is a 15 minute drive. All the 'must see' sights of the Dordogne are in a 30km radius from the house.
