Large Country Farmhouse Fully Renovated & Currently Run As A Successful B&B

Large 19^th century stone country house Set in the stunning backdrop of the Creuse countryside, this house has been lovingly restored and sits within a commune of eight.

Attached Stone Barns 296m2 on ground level. Pre disposed for expansion on either 2 or 3 levels. In the first part of the barn is a storage area housing the boiler & 2500 ltr fuel tank. The boiler was bought with expansion in mind and will supply enough heating and hot water for a further 4 bedroom gite. The second part of the barn is also currently being used for storage including a sit on lawnmower which is included in the sale. The barns would make beautiful Gites/Cottages (particularly the end one which has a large arched opening and also could have a separate garden using some of the land to the side of the property) or an extension onto the main house.

Outbuilding This is a tiled building which is part stone and part rendered breeze block. This has an attached pergola and is currently used as a covered summer outdoor eating area.

Land To the front of the house there is a 500m2 lawn with a large cherry tree in the corner edged by flower borders and the gravel driveway. The perimeter is fenced and has privet hedging planted around though it has not yet grown to full height. Behind the outbuilding the fosse septique and gravel filtration bed are installed. Also with expansion in mind, this 5000 ltrtank is large enough to cater for any extensions you may wish to make into the barns. To the side of the barns is the rest of the land which has been used for animals and is fenced off accordingly. This however would make a beautiful extension to the garden with room to install a swimming pool, orchard and vegetable plot.

The house is for sale fully furnished, and the price includes other items such as the website for the Bed & Breakfast.
