Riverside Property in Bergerac Town

Property Description

This lovely house is located in Bergerac town on the peaceful Voie Verte upper promenade/bike path of the Dordogne river. The location is ideal for those seeking an active lifestyle. Walk to the town centre in 15 minutes or take your bike for a ride on the V19 bicycle route along the river stretching 40 km from Prigonrieux to Mauzac. It is also great for those who enjoy water sports as the rowing club of Bergerac is a short 10-minute walk away. Tennis, rugby and football facilities are nearby and of course there are plentiful opportunities for line fishing.

Historic Bergerac with its charming medieval town centre offers 2 weekly farmers markets, numerous cafés and restaurants and many cultural activities. Bergerac is a hidden gem as many of the “local” expats will attest. One can live comfortably here without a car, easily take the train into Bordeaux, catch a town or regional bus for shopping or sightseeing and even fly out of the Bergerac airport to London, Edinburgh and Dublin (to name a few)! It is a great town for families with multiple educational possibilities and for retirees with many clubs to join.

The location in a safe and peaceful neighbourhood as well as sitting on the front row (high bank) of the river pathway ensures the absence of traffic noise. The house enjoys unobstructed, fantastic views of the Dordogne. It is South facing and bright inside.

The property has a lovely front garden and a large back garden for al fresco dining or for children to play in. There are various fruit trees (nectarine, cherry, almond, fig and olive) and flower beds. There is room for a pool and the garage could be converted into a pool house (subject to necessary permissions). The garden is fenced and secured with a gate.

The house is in excellent condition and has low energy costs, benefiting from both town gas and a reversible heat pump. It has beautiful, original pine flooring and a stunning wooden staircase. With an open floor plan, a full basement for your wine collection and loads of storage, this property is not to be missed! Early viewings are highly recommended.
