Renovated Railway House, Calm, Secluded, but Near Town.

Property Description

Our local agent Andy Portsmouth offers you this converted railway house (the railway is closed) with a stunning river and countryside view, only 2.5km outside the popular and historic small town of Availles-Limouzine. The old railway line is now a beautiful footpath, giving great almost flat walks or cycle rides into town or, 4.5km in the other direction to Lessac (with café and restaurant). Availles-Limouzine has an excellent restaurant, two café/bars also with hot food, a butcher, baker, grocery store, pharmacy, bank, repairs garage also with fuel, two doctors and two dentists. So here you have a secluded, characterful renovated house, on a quiet lane, yet close to conveniences and a nice community with a variety of events. The living room (16m2), with logburner, has windows on three sides, and opens to the kitchen with dining area and utility area (12m2 + 7m2 + 5m2). Vents from the logburner heat (and effectively so) the kitchen, and also the bedroom above. The whole house (doors included) is PVC double-glazed, and the walls boarded for insulation. Also downstairs, a shower room with WC. Good solid stairs with handrail lead up to two beautiful bedrooms - one (16m2) with windows on two sides and the vent from the logburner, and the other a stunning large 31m2 bedroom with ensuite bathroom and windows on three sides, and with air-conditioning, opening to the 35m2 terrace with a stunning countryside and river view - it's a beautiful view in all directions from there. Also upstairs, a large landing (12m2) that could serve as a study and/or guest bedroom (as it does now), and a shower room WC. The house has modern electrics, and the roof was replaced (and insulated) about 15 years ago, with interlocking tiles. The septic tank, about 15 yars old, requires some modifications in order to conform to the current rules (we have the diagnostic). A modern garage with electricity has a connecting doorway to the house, then next to that another garage large enough for two cars - both garages open at both ends. There is a large gated gravelled parking area at the front of the house, and also an access gate for vehicles at the rear. Behind the house there's a gravelled area including a base previously used for an above-ground pool, and a good-condition large concrete shed. This is a solid characterful house in beautiful, clean, tidy condition.
