Excideuil, Dordogne, France

Superbly restored stone house on nearly an acre with views across meadows on the edge of a tiny hamlet. - Tucked away in the hills in the Excideuil sector, nestles this lavishly restored 3-bedroom stone house on the edge of a tiny medieval hamlet of fewer than half a dozen ancient dwellings spread out in a semi circle. With the hamlet offering un-encroaching security, the house still enjoys peaceful views outwards across fields in a tranquil rural setting. The interior is well insulated, underfloor heating, very neatly finished, simple and open plan with an elevated covered terrace facing the west and the sunset. Outside there are outbuildings that form a secure courtyard as well as a garden and a meadow beyond. A perfect home or a family holiday escape which is ready to move into.
