Opis:

Charming renovated 2 bedroomed country property with an above ground pool near a Limousin village with shops, boulangeries, schools, cafes and restaurants, 5 minutes from a popular leisure lake and only 40 minutes from Limoges airport which has regular flights to the UK.

The property, ready to move into, and very private thanks to its position at the edge of a small hamlet comprises 2 small houses linked to create a comfortable easy to maintain home, a large separate well maintained barn currently used as a bar/games room, above ground pool and garden and woodland amounting to over 6000m2 of land.

A fitted kitchen (17m2) with a range of floor and wall units has a tiled floor and patio doors leading out onto the side terrace; A light and airy living room (26m2) has a tiled floor, exposed beams, a log burner and patio doors leading out onto the terrace; The modern bathroom (9m2) has a shower cubicle, wash hand basin, WC, electric radiator, LED lighting and cupboard for the automatic washer and the hot water cylinder; A corridor (7m2) with laminate wood flooring and a single glazed door to outside gives access to: Bedroom 1 (15m2) with laminate wood flooring, an electric radiator and patio door to outside, Bedroom 2 (10m2) with laminate wood flooring and a patio door to outside.

The property is double glazed throughout and is heated by the log burner in the living room and additional electric radiators.

The separate stone barn (56m2) had the roof entirely replaced in 2000. Within the barn there is a storage area with an earth floor, over which there is a mezzanine with a recently installed wooden floor. The rest of the barn (-42m2) has a concrete floor and electricity and during the summer months is used as a bar/games room. However, the space and the doors have been cleverly designed in order that the barn can be used as a garage over winter.

The well maintained attractive gardens include an orchard, log store, gated private driveway, graveled patio areas and an above ground 7m x 4m swimming pool installed in 2015.

The property is set in 6279m2 of mostly woodland.

About Limousin

The region known as Limousin, which consists of Haute Vienne, Creuse and Correze, has been incorporated in the new region of Nouvelle Aquitaine since 2016. The area is situated at the top end of southwest France and has often been referred to as France profonde or the French Lake District. To my mind, however, Limousin most resembles the Cotswolds in the U.K. It's a very good area in which to buy French property because of its beauty, accessibility and property prices.

Scenically, the rolling countryside of Limousin consists of meadows, woods, rivers and lakes interspersed with pretty hamlets and flower filled villages. It is typically very rural but one is never far away from a small bustling market towns and there are many picturesque riverside towns such as Beaulieu and the larger cultural centre of Limoges, famous for its porcelain industry. Just about every village and town has a weekly market and seasonal produce is reflected in the menus of the numerous, small local restaurants.

If you to choose to buy property in Limousin you will be buying into an area where the quality of life will be more important than the quantity of your possessions. There are very few chateaux in Limousin and most property is either delightful farmhouses or cottages surrounded by orchards and vegetable gardens or pretty village houses. Your neighbours are almost certain to be welcoming as long as you treat them with the respect that anyone who chooses to live off the land deserves.

In your new property in Limousin your social life is likely to revolve around aperitifs with friends and neighbours, trips to the market, tending your garden and the occasional visit to English or French speaking films, a concert, opera or ballet. Come the hot days of summer, swimming in the many rivers and lakes or lazing in the garden are a must, probably followed by a barbecue under the starry night sky.

Life in Limousin is as gentle as the
