Maison De La Combe

Maison de la Combe is a charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom 15th century stone cottage situated within the walls of the beautiful medieval bastide of Domme, Dordogne offering comfortable accommodation for up to 6 guests. Situated at the top of rue Porte de la Combe, it is ideally located within a few minutes' walk from shops, bars and restaurants. From the picturesque front terrace, the front door opens onto a stylish large open-plan Living/Kitchen area: The Living area offers 2 comfortable sofas, TV with DVD and FreeSat, Sony Bluetooth speaker, 2 x coffee tables, elegant mango-wood cupboard and mirror with a selection of guide books and leaflets, clock, wooden dining table and 6 chairs. The larger-than-life fireplace holds a recently installed wood-burning stove to keep you cozy during the cooler evenings during the autumn and winter months. Wood is available at no extra charge. The Kitchen area is fully equipped with electric oven/hob/extractor fan, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, fridge-freezer, toaster/grill, kettle, coffee making accessories, ice maker, blender, and a good range of crockery and cooking accessories/utensils, iron and ironing board. Leading from the Kitchen area, is a private, part-covered patio area with patio table and 6 chairs where you can relax and enjoy alfresco dining to one side and rattan patio furniture to the other side. The open-plan wooden staircase leads both upstairs and downstairs: Downstairs set on the bottom floor is the large Master Bedroom (35sqm) consisting of king-size bed (180cm/6ft), large rug, 2 bedside tables and table lamps, wardrobe, chest of drawers, dressing table with stool and mirror, TV with FreeSat, 2 electric radiators and hair dryer. This is a cool room in the heat of the summer and has nice inward opening windows with window grill and shutter opening onto the rue Porte de la Combe. From the Master Bedroom there is a step down through a stunning Gothic style arch leading into an En-suite Shower Room (20sqm) consisting of a double sink vanity unit, large shower (120cmx90cm), electric towel rail and toilet. As this room is below road level and built into bedrock we have a installed a climate controlled dehumidifier which runs automatically to control humidity and maintain a comfortable atmosphere in the room. Upstairs set on the 1st floor the landing area leads onto: 1 double Bedroom consisting of a queen-size bed (160cm/5ft), 2 rugs, 2 bedside tables and table lamps, wall heater, hanging rail and hair dryer. 2nd smaller double Bedroom consisting of a small double bed (140cm/4ft), 1 rug, 1 bedside table and table lamp, wall heater and hanging rail. Bathroom with toilet, wash basin unit with 2 drawers and shower unit. The former owner, a local resident of Domme, had spent a few years sympathetically restoring this former Doctor's house to its former glory, retaining the magnificent fireplace set on the ground floor Living/Kitchen area. We have carried out further renovations to the property including the installation of a beautiful En-suite Shower Room to compliment the Master Bedroom downstairs. With the exceptionally hot summers France and Europe is experiencing, we have installed a portable air conditioning unit situated on landing which can be vented out of the Velux window on the landing with accompanying accessories. Due to local restrictions in Domme, we are not permitted to install a fixed air conditioning unit so we hope this portable unit will give comfort during hot weather. Please note, because of the open plan wooden stairs, care and attention should be taken at all times when using the stairs, particularly with young children. There is no bannister rail, but there are 2 handrails fixed to the walls. We are planning to make changes to this in the near future. There is also a steep step from the Master Bedroom into the En-Suite Shower Room. As there are no bedrooms on the ground floor it is not wheelchair accessible.
