Elegant Riverside Character Home with Swimming Pool and Stunning Gardens

Ideally situated in the sought-after riverside village of Port-Sainte-Foy, just a short stroll from the historic bastide town of Saint-Foy-la-Grande with its renowned weekly market and everyday amenities, this elegant stone residence combines timeless character, spacious accommodation, beautiful gardens and a wonderful riverside setting.

Accessed through electric gates and a long driveway, the property is set within just over one hectare of landscaped grounds. The gardens extend to the banks of the River Dordogne, creating a beautiful natural backdrop.

Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hall immediately impresses with its beautiful original wooden staircase, setting the tone for the elegant accommodation beyond. High ceilings, large windows and a harmonious blend of wooden and tiled flooring create a home that is light, spacious and full of character.

The impressive approximately 40m2 lounge and dining room provides an excellent reception space for both everyday living and entertaining. Filled with natural light, it enjoys lovely views across the gardens and offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The fully fitted kitchen leads into the approximately 35m2 conservatory, a pleasant additional living space overlooking the gardens. The conservatory benefits from a WC and provides direct access to the terrace and garden.

A separate office provides an ideal work-from-home space, library or snug.

The first floor offers four generously proportioned bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, together with a spacious family bathroom and a large storage cupboard. Above, the substantial attic offers potential to create additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Outside

The gardens are every bit as impressive as the house itself. Well-maintained lawns stretch from the house towards the river, framed by mature trees, established shrubs and colourful planted borders, creating a peaceful park-like setting that changes beautifully with the seasons.

Positioned in front of the house, the swimming pool and its generous sun terrace provide an excellent space for relaxing, outdoor dining and entertaining while enjoying views back towards the house and across the gardens.

Beyond the formal gardens, the grounds continue to the River Dordogne, where a gate provides direct access to the riverbank. This beautiful setting offers an ever-changing backdrop of wildlife, mature trees and gently flowing water, while remaining within easy walking distance of the town centre.

The enclosed grounds are ideal for children and dogs and also include a productive vegetable garden for those wishing to enjoy home-grown produce.

A substantial hangar provides covered parking for three to four vehicles together with an excellent workshop, making it equally suited to vehicle storage, hobbies or practical workspace.

Completing the property is a full basement extending beneath the entire house, offering extensive storage together with excellent potential for a wine cellar, gym, workshop or hobby space.

Combining elegant period architecture, spacious family accommodation, beautifully landscaped riverside gardens and excellent practical facilities, this delightful home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy life on the banks of the Dordogne while being just a short walk from the vibrant centre of Saint-Foy-la-Grande.
