Haute-Vienne (87). Châteauponsac. Pretty One-Bedroom Country House in a Beautiful Location

Property Description

Ref. CD-3102 This is a very special opportunity to obtain a home with an abundance of charm and character!

Situated in a sleepy hamlet just a few minutes' drive from the ancient fortified town of Châteauponsac, this delightful, bijou bolthole is cocooned by nature and offers superb views over the Gartempe Valley, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Entering the house, you arrive in a bright and airy kitchen and dining area which measures 13 m² and benefits from a tiled floor and range of fitted units for storing provisions, etc. A wood burner gives this room a cosy, lived-in feel. Neatly placed next to the kitchen is a shower room (9.5 m²) with a toilet, where you will find feature walls of exposed granite.

Returning to the kitchen, a wooden staircase leads to the first floor and into a living room which also measures 13 m². This room benefits from two large picture windows which overlook the unspoilt countryside and the river that runs peacefully by. A bedroom of 9.5 m² completes this level of the house.

Throughout the house you will find many character features, including beautiful original wooden floors, exposed stone walls and original wooden beams. The whole house is heated by the wood burner, but there are also electric radiators for those colder mornings and evenings. The windows are double glazed, and drainage is via a septic tank.

Outside you will find two useful outbuildings and a small, easy-to-maintain garden. A perfect spot for enjoying an aperitif at the end of the afternoon or for al-fresco dining during the summer months.

Most day-to-day amenities such as shops, supermarkets and restaurants can be found in Châteauponsac, or in nearby Bessines-sur-Gartempe, a 14-minute drive away. A Benedictine priory, a Romanesque church and houses from the 15th and 16th centuries complete the historical heritage of this charming little town, while nature lovers are sure to enjoy the Chemin de I'Osmonde Royale, a long hiking trail which offers beautiful views of the town and the Semme and Gartempe valleys.

The house is conveniently located near the North-South A20 autoroute (13 km), there is a railway station at La Souterraine (23 km), and an international airport at Limoges (53 km).

All in all, this is a superb property in a beautiful location, which has the potential to be used as a primary residence, a lock up and leave holiday home or even a gîte.
