Description of Farmhouse in Limousin:

Fully renovated 3 bed farmhouse/smallholding with attached barn and land. Ideally situated on the edge of a hamlet, within easy distance of shops etc

The house has about 165m2 of living space. It is an old farm house that has been beautifully renovated to an extremely high standard and there is no work to do! An ideal property for someone who wants to live “the Good Life” without living in a building site! The house had a completely new roof, tiles and timber, in 2005 and a new septic tank /fosse toutes eaux installed in 2007, which conforms to all current regulations. The house is double glazed throughout. Heating is by the two woodburners and there are electric radiators in all rooms as back up. The house has mains electric, mains water and drainage is to the new septic tank. Telephone and broadband are connected.

On the ground floor you enter into the hall (12m2) with exposed beams, tiled floor and stairs to the first floor. On the left is the sitting/dining room (24m2) with exposed beams, parquet floor and original granite fireplace with fitted woodburner. From the sitting room is a door to the office (12m2) with parquet floor and telephone point. On the right of the hall is bedroom 1 (24m2) with exposed beams and parquet floor. At the end of the hall is the kitchen (20m2) with fitted wall and floor cupboards, fitted electric hob and oven, small woodburner and views over the land. To one side of the kitchen is a good-sized shower room, with shower, basin and WC and connections for a washing machine and 200 litre hot water heater/chauffe eau. To the other side of the kitchen is the back hall with coat hooks etc, space for the deep freeze and door to the back garden. Beyond this is another room (16m2), currently used as storage.

On the first floor there is a huge landing area, which could be used as a study area or there is plenty of room for a spare bed for guests, carpeted floor and exposed A-frame beams. Off the landing are bedrooms 2 & 3 (both 21m2) with carpet and exposed beams, and also the bathroom with bath with shower over, basin and WC, heated towel rail, exposed beams and cushion floor. Off one of the bedrooms is another room (12m2) which is currently used for storage, but which could easily be made into an ensuite bathroom, exterior connection to the septic tank is already in place.

Attached to the house is a large stone barn (approx 150m2) which is divided into 3 sections, the centre one being full height and with mezzanine floors on either side. It would be easy to extend the house into the barn and we have been given to believe that planning permission would not be a problem. There is also a large stable in the barn.
To the side of the barn are 4 old pigsties which are currently used as poultry housing. Beyond this is an area of grass with small duck pond and access to the veg patch. There is an extremely productive vegetable garden with raised beds and a very large polytunnel (7m x 18m). Water for watering the garden and stock is from a well with electric pump.

Behind and to the side of the house is the garden of approximately 3500m2 with fruit trees and shrubs and also the field of approximately 2.5 hectares. The field is entirely fenced and has several beautiful mature oak trees which offer excellent shade and shelter to stock. The whole plot extends to approximately 2.8 hectares which is all in one block attached to the house.

The property lends itself to a variety of uses – ideal as a smallholding as the land is all in one block attached to the house and is visible from the kitchen! Ideal for horses, plenty of room, off road riding etc. Ideal for a family – a more traditional way of life and lots of countryside to play in with good schools within easy reach!
