A rare opportunity to acquire one of the Dordogne's oldest and most beautiful houses, located in Monpazier, one of the "beaux villages" of France. To sum up, this south facing property is one of the oldest in the town with fabulous views in one of France's most beautiful villages. Monpazier is only 30 minutes from the nearby Bergerac airport.? La Porte Sud is one of the earliest stone fortifications in the village of Monpazier; a 13th-century bastide town, founded and built in 1284 by King Edward I of England, who was also the Duke of Gascony. It was also the home to Eleanor of Aquitaine and Richard II of England for a time. Nearby is the Château Biron and the Dordogne River. The house, with approximately 120 square metres of floor space over four floors, has stone walls over a metre wide and the exposed wooden beams cry warmth, charm and a sense of peaceful history to all who enter. With an insulated roof and in excellent condition, heating is provided for via electricity for water, or by the wood burner and fire for general winter warmth (November - March) It has been sympathetically renovated over the years and comes with a clean bill of health and is certified as having No Termites, No Lead, No Asbestos and good electrical systems. Description of the house : The ground floor consist of the entrance hall with separate WC, an under stairs storage area, old stone features, wooden beams and tiled floor. Ascending the old wooden stairs to the first floor takes you to the Kitchen, which has been sympathetically designed to blend with the houses architectural heritage, yet combining all the usual modern appliances. Included in the sale is the beautiful large Godin wood burner, which is more than capable with its 10W thermal output of warming the house in the colder months. Continuing up the next flight of stairs brings you to the second floor living and dining area. Once the shutters have been opened on the four windows, light floods in to reveal a room of warmth and colour. Old stone tiles mix with the chestnut floor, wooden ceilings and large feature fireplace. The northerly views from the living room look directly up the street to the centre of the village, and in the opposite southerly direction across the valley to the never-ending countryside of fields and forests. Once again ascending the stairs brings you to the third floor with two bedrooms and the bathroom. The landing is well illuminated landing by one of six velour windows on the third floor. All rooms have features such as wooden exposed beams and pigeon windows. The upstairs is carpeted for extra comfort, but the carpet could easily be removed to expose the rich original chestnut wooden floor underneath.
