Fortified house, outbuilding and garden in a charming Périgord village
Set in the heart of the picturesque village of Paunat, overlooking its abbey, this mansion is unlike any other. Anchored to the hillside, it has a rectangular floor plan and a gable roof with large chimney stacks on each gable. 2 millstones bear witness to its history, perhaps an outpost of the ancient fortified castle whose ruins are nearby...
It has 3 stories with, on the ground floor: entrance hall, bedroom, shower room, wc, lounge/bedroom with fireplace. On the garden level, 2 beautiful rooms of 40m2 each: Kitchen/dining room with stone souillarde, wc, storeroom, sitting room with monumental fireplace and souillarde. 2 mullioned windows offer a lovely view of this authentic village. First floor: spacious bedroom, certainly needs to be partitioned to optimise the number of bedrooms, shower room.
Between the house and the barn is a large covered terrace with uninterrupted views. The barn is used as a cellar, workshop and garage, with a large bedroom and shower room above for family or friends (the access staircase could be improved). Garden shed, one-room cottage slightly separated in the garden. 1600m2 of terraced, low stone walls at the rear of the house add to the charm of the property.
