Why spend a fortune on a villa by the Med when this house is available at half the price? The property has been a gîte with a regular clientele for some years.
A path to the left of the barn leads to the house, with entry via a veranda which is a real sun trap even in the cooler months. The ground floor consists of one large lounge with a stone floor, wood-burning stove and a kitchenette in one corner. A spiral staircase leads to two en suite bedrooms above this room, and behind the main house is an annexe with a bathroom/utility room at ground level and a wooden staircase up to a third bedroom. The wood stove provides ample heating for the house but there are also electric radiators in the two main bedrooms, and there is full double glazing, and a new water heater. The property is on mains water and mains drainage.
Attached to the house is a storage shed and there is a small garden to the rear. The pump for the pool was replaced last year and the pool area has been fenced off in accordance with new regulations. The barn opens on to the street, with space for two cars or potential for conversion.
In the heart of a quiet village with a restaurant/grocer’s shop, the property is only 30 minutes from Limoges airport, and main commerce in Confolens or St Junien is a 20 minute drive.© |
