The Legacy and The Lifestyle

Bien venue ! We are Jayne and Adam, the current custodians of this 1789 Manoir. Originally from North Wales and the Sussex Coast in the UK, we were drawn to this corner of the Périgord Vert by its rare combination of historic grandeur and tranquil seclusion. Our goal has been to preserve the "soul" of this stone estate while evolving it into a residence that meets the demands of modern, global living. Built on the cusp of the French Revolution, the Manoir stands as a testament to 18th-century local craftsmanship. Behind its iconic stone archway, you’ll find a home bathed in light, defined by original oak parquetry, towering ceilings, and a Grand Salon that has hosted centuries of history. It is a property that offers "character" without the fragility often found in heritage estates. One of the most unique aspects of the estate is its high-specification infrastructure. Unlike many historic properties, this Manoir has been engineered for effortless maintenance. Equipped with superfast fiber optics and smart-controlled heating, the home remains efficient and connected, whether you are in residence or managing it from afar. A "Lock-Up-and-Go" Sanctuary: Situated at the end of a private *impasse* within a secure hamlet, the property offers total peace of mind. It provides the security and "easy-care" nature of a luxury apartment, but within the context of a private French estate. Our landscaped park and our neighbours' walnut groves provide 360-degree views and biodiversity without requiring the intensive labour of a working farm. The Best of Both Worlds We have cherished the "village-fringe" lifestyle—being able to stroll to the neighboring farm shop for organic produce or drive minutes to the golf courses, lakes and markets of Excideuil and Thiviers, all while remaining entirely unoverlooked in our private space. As we prepare to hand over the keys to the next custodians, we offer not just a house, but a turn-key transition into the French dream. This is a residence for those who value history but refuse to compromise on modern ease, security, and comfort. Feel free to chat to us immediately via the WhatsApp bubble. If you're in a different timezone to us, then we'll respond as soon as we can. **Welcome to the Manoir.**
