Character former schoolhouse with spacious living areas, covered terrace & historical significance
Situated in the village of Saint-Antoine-de-Breuilh, on the edge of the Dordogne and close to the Gironde border, this unique former schoolhouse combines history, character, and flexible living space.
Ideally located near the towns of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande and Pineuilh, the property enjoys easy access to shops, schools, restaurants, cinema, hospital facilities, and SNCF rail connections to Bergerac, Bordeaux, Libourne, and beyond via the TGV network.
At the heart of the famous wine region, with Saint-Émilion only 27km away, this property could suit a variety of lifestyles — from a spacious family home to a creative or professional project.
The former classroom has been transformed into a spectacular living area filled with natural light and centred around a cosy fireplace. This impressive space could equally lend itself to yoga classes, dance workshops, artistic activities, or other professional uses (subject to necessary permissions).
This charming property offers generous volumes throughout and retains a fascinating connection to local history, being the birthplace of Théophile Cart (1855–1931), an important figure in the development and promotion of Esperanto in France.
The house is double-glazed and benefits from electric heating, with reversible heat pumps providing both heating and air conditioning in the main living spaces.
You enter via the entrance hall (5.4m²), which leads into the main living areas.
* Reception Room / Bedroom 4 (11m²): A versatile room suitable as a small sitting room, office, or ground-floor bedroom.
* Kitchen (12.6m²) & Dining Room (16.5m²): Modern fitted kitchen with integrated oven, induction hob, extractor fan, and central island. French doors open directly onto the garden and covered terrace, creating an excellent indoor/outdoor flow.
* Large Living Area (72m²): The former classroom of the school, now transformed into an impressive reception space with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a fireplace. This room offers enormous flexibility for entertaining, creative pursuits, or professional activities.
* Shower Room (5.8m²)
* Separate WC (1.2m²)
The ground floor layout allows for comfortable single-level living if required.

The upstairs landing (5.5m²) gives access to:
* Bedroom 1 (17.6m²)

A staircase from the landing leads to the loft space (27.6m²), which could potentially be converted into additional accommodation or hobby space.
Historical Significance:
The property bears a commemorative plaque marking it as the birthplace of Antoine Théophile Cart, a prominent linguist, President of the Linguistic Society of Paris, professor at the École des Sciences Politiques, and one of the leading early defenders and promoters of Esperanto in France.
This historical connection adds a unique cultural dimension to an already distinctive property.
