Spacious and comfortable detached villa in the Perigord Noir, with private pool, just above the river Dordogne. Sleeps 8 (4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) or outside peak season it can be, for a lower price, rented for 4 (same house but only with 2 bedrooms/2bathrooms) In a unique elevated setting, south facing and with splendid views of the Dordogne valley and hills beyond. No immediate neighbours. Inside, the property is built to a high specification, partly to an open-plan design and on different levels. Modern but incorporating a number of traditional features, it provides somewhat unusual but very practical accommodation, three of the four bedrooms having en-suite bath or shower-rooms. Very spacious (220 sq. meters), with a huge living room, the house is comfortably furnished and well-appointed for trouble-free holiday living, tiled floors throughout the ground floor helping to keep the place cool in summer. The upstairs bedrooms are carpeted. For outdoor living, a part-covered, 15mx4m split-level terrace extends along the full frontage of the villa (accessed via three sliding patio doors from the living room), while a second terraced area, accessed via railway sleeper steps on the west side, or via a flight of 18 steps with handrail on the east, all but surrounds the pool (10mx5m, depth 1-2m). The attraction of this area, an ideally sheltered spot for taking the sun (although it also has a shady pergola), is enhanced by a fully-equipped, newly-built poolhouse where poolside meals may be prepared and taken. The Anglo-French owners are represented locally by an English-speaking Dutch couple and contractors visit at regular intervals to maintain the grounds and pool. A very special property in a unique setting perfectly located for visiting the very best that the Dordogne has to offer.
