Rural Paradise in Central France

Description

Looking for peace and privacy without being isolated? Passionate about gardening and wildlife? This charmingly renovated stone house close to la Souterraine and Limoges combines the ability for sophisticated living with a peace and tranquillity that is hard to find these days. It sits in a quiet little hamlet where cows are just as likely to pass through as are cars.

The house (214m2) has been tastefully modernised while losing none of its rustic character and charm, with exposed beams, quarry tiled floors and fine old doors. The rooms are large and sun-filled with a kitchen that looks out onto an unspoilt pastoral scene.

There are three bedrooms with potential for more — one of the living rooms has a shower room adjacent that makes it suitable for an additional downstairs bedroom. Equally, a large attic can be used for additional sleeping or living space. The large barn (73m2) adjoins the house. There is scope to easily develop part of it to create a gîte or increase the size of the house by 30m2.

The garden (1,533m2) is every gardener’s delight, filled with colour all summer long. The main garden is behind the house, accessed by a wisteria covered archway. It is a totally private enclosed space that soaks up the sun all day, perfect for outdoor living. The view opens out onto the vegetable garden with a verdant valley beyond where Limousin cows graze and roe deer venture out from the woods. Over 50 bird species have been seen from the garden.

Communications are excellent. There is rapid access to Paris or Toulouse via the quiet A20 motorway or fast trains from la Souterraine. Limoges airport has frequent Ryanair flights to the UK and beyond.

This is a private sale with no agent’s fees in the price. Send for a PowerPoint presentation of this property or request a viewing.
