** New** Charming cottage set in the grounds of a majestic manor house,

This spacious cottage, rich in history, has been tastefully renovated and transformed into a beautiful holiday home. Set in the grounds of the Manoir de Mercier, former home of the family of Brigitte Bardot, in the heart of the village of St Cybranet, it is just a stone’s throw from the pretty river Céou (tributary of the Dordogne).

When you drive through the gates, from the church square, you will appreciate the inner courtyard, the immaculately maintained grounds and the driveway lined with hundred year old plane trees. The cottage was built in the 1700s and was the former guardian’s home when the manor was owned firstly by a wealthy merchant, Joseph Mercier; then the governor of the Ivory Coast; and then by the Bardot-Canale family.

INTERIOR DESCRIPTION:
**********************
* The front door opens directly into the open plan living room, offering:
- A cosy sitting area with sofa, coffee table, lamps and flat screen smart TV
- A round wooden dining table and four chairs
- A beautiful painted, high quality kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, kettle, toaster and all the necessary crockery and utensils.

* A spacious and bright bedroom offers a large double bed (150cm wide), bedside tables, lamps, chest of drawers.

* The brand new shower room proposes a large walk in shower, vanity unit and washbasin and heated towel rail.

The cottage is all on one level, and benefits from central heating and wifi.

EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION:
*********************
* A completely private, semi covered terrace is accessible from the kitchen. You will find a table and chairs, ideal for al fresco dining, and 2 sunloungers for soaking up the sun.
Private parking is available in the square in front of the gates to the Manor or within the grounds, next to the cottage.

NB The manor itself is a second home for the current owners who live in the UK. They may be present on site, but their outside living space is found on the other side of the manor, and the cottage remains completely private and independent. The grounds are not part of the cottage or the rental except for access, as it has its own private terrace.
