Property Description

Auv 1226: Detached house, large barn, wells, calm, views, 3,849m2 In a peaceful rural location in a small hamlet near Marcillat-en-Combraille, this detached house offers 118m2 of living space, a large stone barn and several outbuildings, set on 3,849m2 of adjoining land. Originally built before 1900, the house has a characterful asymmetrical façade with a covered arched entrance. The interior is dated and requires modernisation, but the house offers spacious rooms, plenty of natural light and a practical layout. The ground floor comprises a central hallway, a 16m2 living room, a 17m2 bedroom, a spacious 20m2 dining room and an adjoining 10m2 kitchen. The living room and bedroom have wooden floors and tall windows. The dining room is equipped with a wood-burning range cooker. There is also a shower room and a separate toilet. On the first floor are two bedrooms of approximately 17m2 each, a spacious landing and a small toilet/wash area. There are several attic spaces above the living accommodation. Beneath the house are several cellars and storage rooms, a boiler room and a separate room housing the oil tank. Beside the house stands a large stone barn with an impressive open interior, a high roof structure, large access doors and former stables on the lower level. Several smaller outbuildings are situated around the property, including a garage/storage barn and older stone buildings. Some of these buildings require repairs. The grounds consist of grassland surrounding the house and outbuildings, with mature trees, hedges, several wells and natural springs. The setting is peaceful and rural, with attractive open views across the surrounding fields. The house has oil-fired central heating, a wood-burning range cooker and a 150-litre electric water heater. The water, electricity, heating and sanitary installations are believed to still be operational. The property is connected to an old septic system which does not comply with current regulations. Most of the wooden windows are single-glazed. A characterful property with three bedrooms, numerous outbuildings and ample storage and workshop space, ideal for anyone wishing to modernise a country home to their own taste.
