In the heart of the medieval village of Issigeac, this substantial five-bedroom stone house combines remarkable historic character with comfortable modern accommodation, established chambres d’hôtes facilities, independent commercial premises and a rare south-facing garden with private parking.
The property is believed to incorporate part of Issigeac’s former defensive fortifications, dating in part from around 1290. Its surviving features include substantial stone walls-approximately 1.5 metres thick in places-arrow slits, exposed beams, a former lookout walkway and a small chamber discovered within the walls. Carved stone faces uncovered in an old fireplace may date from the 15th century. The house has been sympathetically restored to preserve these elements while providing modern comfort.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors.
On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a separate WC, a characterful bar area with kitchen facilities, and a separate workroom. The bar opens directly towards the garden and provides an attractive communal space for guests. Also on this level is the commercial shop, which has its own independent entrance and offers potential for continued business use or rental, subject to the purchaser’s requirements.
The first floor contains the owners’ principal accommodation. At its centre is a particularly spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, with exposed stonework and original structural timbers. The modern fitted kitchen provides generous storage and preparation space. This floor also has two double bedrooms, one with a private shower room and WC, together with a separate family bathroom.
The top floor is arranged for guest accommodation and contains three individually designed double bedrooms, each with its own shower room and WC. Every guest room has individual keypad access and reversible air conditioning. A separate guest kitchen and dining area includes a refrigerator, induction hob, sink and storage, allowing guests to prepare meals independently.
Outside, the private south-facing garden provides a particularly valuable feature for a property in the centre of Issigeac. It includes a terrace and space for outdoor dining and relaxation. There is also a private off-road parking space equipped with an electric-vehicle charging point.
The property has double glazing and is connected to mains drainage. Its flexible configuration would suit a large family home, a home with guest accommodation, or the continuation of the established chambres d’hôtes activity. The independent commercial premises add a further opportunity for professional use or supplementary rental income.
Issigeac is one of the Dordogne’s most attractive and active medieval villages, known for its celebrated Sunday market, restaurants, cafés, artisan shops and historic architecture. All village amenities are within walking distance, while Bergerac, its railway station and international airport are easily accessible.
