Haute-Vienne: Elegant Village Home with Independent Gîte and Barn, Minutes from Vibrant Mézières-Sur-Issoire

Property Description

Set in the quiet centre of Saint-Martial-sur-Isop and just a few minutes from the lively market town of Mézières sur Issoire, this beautifully presented village home offers a rare blend of space, style and flexibility. With a bright main house in excellent decorative order, a fully independent gîte, and a substantial barn, the property delivers that sought after Haute Vienne lifestyle: peaceful setting, generous land, and everyday amenities close by.
The kitchen offers a generous, well planned space with a freestanding island at its centre, setting a relaxed, social tone. It includes a range cooker, a butler style sink, and a distinctive wood fired range oven with a cast iron cooking surface - an authentic feature that adds both charm and practicality. The proportions easily support a dining area, creating a single, cohesive space for everyday living.
The living room is a large, airy space with a wood burner as its focal point, offering a bright and comfortable setting for everyday living. The room feels warm and inviting, with generous seating space and direct access to the rear entrance hall.
The rear entrance hall serves as the home's main everyday entry point, with convenient parking located behind the property. It offers a practical space for coats, shoes and outdoor gear and includes a WC.
The house has two independent staircases, each leading to its own upstairs area and creating two private bedroom wings.
The first staircase, accessed from a small passage off the kitchen, rises to a landing with a large double bedroom and its en suite shower room/WC. A door from this landing leads to a further staircase up to the current craft room/Bedroom 4; the top of this staircase is presently closed off but could easily be reopened if desired.
The second staircase is reached from the living room, via a door leading into the rear entrance hall. From here, the staircase rises to a small hallway with a large double bedroom and the main family shower room/WC, then continues to the top floor bedroom - a generous space with its bath, sink and WC set within the room. A "Narnia style" wardrobe provides a secret through access to the craft room/Bedroom 4, adding a unique and charming touch.
This arrangement offers excellent privacy, flexible use of space, and a touch of character that makes the upper floors genuinely memorable.
The property includes an independent annex, offering excellent flexibility for guests, family or rental use. It features a bright living room with a kitchenette, a shower room with WC, and a large double bedroom on the first floor. The annex also benefits from its own clearly defined terrace/patio area, set apart with fencing and providing a practical outdoor space for seating or dining - enhancing its appeal as a comfortable, self contained unit.
Outside, the property benefits from a range of useful outbuildings and generous outdoor spaces. These include a large barn, a second barn used as a workshop, and a one room stone cottage (not connected to utilities).
The grounds offer a large entertaining terrace, a spacious garden with a fish pond, a traditional well, and a plot previously used as a potager with a greenhouse.
The vibrant city of Limoges, with its international airport, is a convenient 45 minute drive away.
The Haute Vienne offers an outstanding array of unspoilt natural landscapes - hills, lakes, rivers and woodland trails that create the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as cycling, walking and canoeing.
The wider region is rich in leisure opportunities too, with rolling countryside, quiet lanes ideal for riding and exploring, and charming market towns and heritage sites to discover.
