ABOUT THE PROPERTY:

Le Pré, located in the small hamlet St Paul de Serre, is a perigordian farm complex consisting of a large, beautifully renovated barn and an old farm house. In total there are over 300 square metres of living space fully centrally heated.

At the heart of the property and accessing all the buildings is a delightful walled in courtyard (safe for children) with table space for 15 under the hangto with gas barbecue. This is a favourite dining area on warm summer evenings.

The Old House is comprised of a ground floor with kitchen and dining area with table space for 8. A large wood oven creates a snug atmosphere on autumn evenings. On the first floor there are 2 double bedrooms and a fully equiped bathroom. The Old House also has french and british satellite TV and a video player .

The main living area is located in the former barn and consits of a magnificent open fireplace, 2 lounge areas and dining table for 15 guests. This spacious area also has a full-sized snooker table, HiFi, british satellite TV, video and DVD players. It accesses the courtyard which is at a lower level and the south terrace through large french windows.

The barn was built in 1832 just after the Napoleonic wars. The 'Old House' was built in the 18th and extended in the 19th century.

St Paul de Serre is located 15 minutes south of the Dordogne capital Perigueux which boasts a roman town (Cité Romaine) as well as a medieval quarter and a magnificent romanesque cathedral. Within easy reach by car are some of the most magnificent castles in Europe, Beynac, built in the 12th century by the English king Richard I Lionheart, and the french castle, Castelnaud on the other bank of the Dordogne river. This whole area is steeped in history, illustrating the conflict between the French and English kings of the 12th century. Also in the area are other sites well worth visiting: the lovely monastery at Cadouin with its artists' workshops, the medieval town of Sarlat, the birth place of the famous poet Etienne de la Boetie. Those interested in things prehistoric should visit Les Eyzies!
