Natural materials enhance the building's character, with classic eau de nil wooden shutters, high beamed ceilings, and a soft, neutral colour palette that fills the space with light. Exposed stone walls, natural travertine tiles, and wooden floors flow seamlessly throughout. A hidden first-floor terrace adds appeal, making it an ideal lock-up-and-leave property.

A hallway leads to a bedroom with double French doors and a stained-glass window, a study/dressing room with built-in wardrobes, and a stylish shower room with an Italian shower, double vanity, and storage beneath.

First Floor: The bright, triple-aspect kitchen-diner features contemporary units and a range cooker. A door opens to a private travertine terrace, ideal for relaxation and entertaining. Stone steps lead back to street level. A small laundry room and wc complete this floor.

A spiral staircase from the kitchen leads to the second-floor master bedroom, with en suite shower room and built-in wardrobe. The room offers fabulous views across the medieval village rooftops.

The quiet, picturesque village hosts a local market each Tuesday during the summer, whilst nearby Martel (one of France's Plus Beaux villages) offers shops, restaurants, and a year-round twice weekly market.

This property seamlessly blends contemporary comforts with the historic charm of its surroundings, making it ideal for those seeking a low maintenance home with easy access to the beauty of the Dordogne Valley and rural France.
