Beautifully Restored Character 18th Century Dordogne Cottage with Private Pool - Hill Top House

HILL TOP HOUSE:

Hill Top House is a beautiful French stone farmhouse boasting its own private pool and gardens. It is located at the heart of the Perigord Noir, ideal for exploring all the sites that the Dordogne has to offer. 
The property is situated in a secluded tranquil location in grounds of a little over one acre on the small hill top above the village of Coux et Bigaroque-Mouzens. The village is a pleasant 15 minute walk via a small country lane where you will find a boulangerie, cave and a cooperative providing produce from local suppliers. 

The spacious open plan kitchen and dining room has oak parquet flooring and oak beams throughout. There is a large fireplace fitted with an efficient wood burning stove to add a cosy touch with a small bergere style couch and fireside chair. There is also an Essex Steinway piano which may be used with care.

The lounge and hallway continue with the oak parquet and oak beams. The lounge is light and spacious, has two large comfortable sofas, a flat screen TV (new 2016), and period furnishings.

Upstairs, there are three spacious bedrooms; the master bedroom with a king-size bed having an en-suite shower room with toilet and washbasin, and a separate dressing room. The other two bedrooms share a large family bathroom with a large shower and separate bath. Bed linens are of fine Egyptian cotton and the bathrooms are supplied with luxury towels.

There is free wi-fi access throughout the property.

The property is heated by an ecological ground source heat pump that supplies hot water to the underfloor heating for the ground floor and to the radiators upstairs in the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Outside there are a number of dining and seating options; there is a sheltered patio next to the house with a small round dining table and chairs and a garden bench; a larger dining table and chairs is situated under a pergola set next to the garage protected by a south facing wall where there is also a second garden bench; and next to the swimming pool there is a terraced area where the sun loungers and other garden chairs can be placed as well as positions for sun shades.

The rectangular swimming pool (10m x 5m) has roman style half round walk in steps and is flat bottomed making it ideal for children and adults alike. There is a further step mid length of the pool taking the depth from 1.3 to 1.5 metres.

The mature garden is generally flat and is ideal for children to run around and play. There is a large trampoline available as well as a badminton net and equipment and a ping pong table is set up under the hanger next to the garage.
