Property Description

Detached stone and slate Manor House(350 sqm), with a tower from the 16th century, lies in the countryside, in the area of Chasseneuil sur Bonnieure, with a land area of 7.41 acres(30 000 sqm). Heating : ancient central and wood. Chapel. Ancient gate house. Works needed : new kitchen and bathrooms, modernisation and decoration. The property is 300 meters from a dual carriage road with traffic. There are two access roads : one via a private lane that takes you to the from via one of the farms, and a second private lane from the mill. The property has been empty for some years now and needs renovating however it has retained many original features. The general structure is good, the walls are sound. The slate roof needs redoing. The septic tank is not to current standards. The property will probably need both the electrics and plumbing verified and changed. The current central heating system, oil fired, will need to be verified and renewed. As well as the main Logis, there is a detached old hunting lodge and a private family chapel. There is also an old gate lodge and stables to renovate with the original arch-way (roof has unfortunately partially collapsed) into the grounds. The annual land taxes will be between 3-4000 euros(again this will be determined when the new boundaries have been registered). It is necessary to point out that the main road, not a motorway but a duel-carriageway, is being extended and the widening will bring the road closer to the grounds. There is however woodland belonging to the property between the road and the Manor. However, the upside to this extension is that there is easy access to a good road system and the county town of Angouleme with its daily train links to Paris, Bordeaux etc can be reached in under 30 minutes. Limoges airport is approximately 45-50 minutes away.
