Spacious Pretty Stone Maison De Maitre with Pool and Small Lake.

Property Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! Lovely 5-bedroom 'Maison-de-maître' house with lots of charm and character is situated in a quiet, village in the Haute-Vienne dept. All rooms have generous dimensions, with a generous mature garden at the rear with a swimming pool, that are not overlooked. Another small plot opposite the house as a possible veggie plot is included.

Beyond the first part of the garden, are steps down into a more informal garden with a small private 800m pond behind it with an area of woodland of approx 2 acres providing chestnut and oak wood for your stoves. A side gate leads out to a shaded public path runs alongside the lake down to the river Bandiat, and beyond with a circular woodland walk.

The house has a large attached stone garage on 2 floors, once the village dance floor. In the courtyard behind the house is a large stone barn with its own fenced garden space behind. There is a well for free garden water and 2 small stone hangars for storage. All the garden spaces are fully enclosed. The swimming pool is heated with a heat exchanger and is completely private.

Entry is via a large entrance hall, with the kitchen on one side and the living room on the other. Both rooms benefit from newly installed solar automatic electric shutters (installed in 2021) to keep the house cool. The kitchen has a wonderful large stone fireplace with a wood burning stove and feels instantly welcoming and homely. Behind the kitchen is a bright office room overlooking the rear garden, with internal access to the boiler room and garage. Back out to the hall to the large living room that also has a big fireplace with a wood burning stove.

The house has oil central heating and retains authentic cast iron radiators throughout. Lots of nice original wooden floors too. The property was entirely double glazed in 2021.

Further down the entrance hall is a newly installed modern shower room and a separate WC. Beyond this is a cute seating area inside a wooden glazed porch – a great space to watch the birds in the garden or just have a read and a snooze.

On the 1st floor are 5 double bedrooms and a bathroom. One of these bedrooms could easily be converted to be either an en suite bathroom or another family bathroom (subject to necessary permissions). Finally on the 2nd floor... a great bonus is a huge loft room that is the whole width of the house (111m) with splendid, exposed roof beams, good head height, old oak floors and double glazed windows that could easily be used as a separate apartment (subject to necessary permissions) - with a bar and kitchenette there its a great entertainment area too!

A few minutes away is the village of Marval for a nice bar/ restaurant and a little supermarket. 15 minutes away are St Mathieu with its pretty lake and restaurant and good amenities, Piegut, with its vibrant weekly market is 15 minutes and many other nice villages are around that area. A local food van conveniently comes twice a week to the village with anything you need to order from the local grocery store too! Limoges airport and its city with everything you need is just 45 minute’s drive.

A lovely spacious home, full of character in a sweet village. It could be the one for you.
