House (near Eymet) in Dordogne, Aquitaine

Property. Ref: GYM-APS3032 Date Added: 17-April-2017 Map / Approx. Location

Situated in an elevated position, walking distance from the centre of a pretty village with amenities, this low-maintenance villa with its lovely views is ideally suited for either a holiday home, or year-round living.

Built 15 years ago, this property offers all the benefits of a modern home such as a wonderful, large, open-plan Main Living Room with a fitted kitchen off it. Other benefits include all rooms to the front of the property leading out onto the fabulous South-facing terrace through French doors, offering glimpses of the views throughout the property. The majority of the accommodation is single story. In addition, it is fully double-glazed.

Outside, there is a fabulous, large (50m2) South-facing terrace with lovely views down over a pretty patchwork of tiled roofs, across to the village church and the beautiful rolling countryside beyond. This large terrace is a wonderful extension to the living space, perfect for hosting summer parties and BBQ's or just simply dining al fresco during the warmer months.

The village itself is popular and desirable as it has all basic commerce, an excellent primary school and a wonderful Summer night market. It is equi-distant - 5 minutes - from the stunning medieval towns of Eymet with its vibrant, year-round Expat community and from Miramont-de-Guyenne with its commerce and large supermarkets. A highly sought-after location and a low-maintenance property at an attractive price point.
Early viewing recommended.
