The building has a lovely feel and character, with the wood burner in the fireplace, under the massive beams leading up to the mezzanine. Plus all the practical benefits of a brand new kitchen and dining area, with its own external dining patio, and wholly refurbished bedroom and bathrooms in a simple yet comfortable style, that lets the property express its own character.

There's a lovely feeling of old country charm and tranquility in the farmhouse. We're in the hamlet of St Martial, part of the commune and village of Ligueux, one of the smallest communes in Acquitaine with just 170 residents, but surrounded by lovely, varied countryside, including vineyards, woods, orchards and fields. A lovely place for a country holiday, but close to major centres like Ste Foy la Grande, Bergerac and St Emilion.
