The dream of a French rural retreat does not always work out so if you want the best of country life with the advantages of nearby commerce, plus a well-built home with no work needed, this one is simply the best in this area.
A long driveway leads down to the extensive basement of the house, comprising a double garage, laundry room and a storeroom. Internal stairs lead up to the main living accommodation – a large L-shaped lounge, fully fitted kitchen, good size bathroom, separate wc and three bedrooms. The house is tastefully decorated throughout, has full double glazing and electric heating; it would also be possible to install a fireplace in the corner of the lounge, and the basement could be converted into further accommodation.
There is a large lawned garden with mature trees all around the property and an additional field to the rear overlooking wooded countryside.
On the edge of an historic market town which is a popular tourist attraction, there is a supermarket a short walk from the house; the town has several bars, two banks, an English tea room and one of the best bakeries in France. Limoges airport, with daily services between France and the UK, is less than an hour’s drive. © |
