Not only is this recently renovated barn a very comfortable home, but it also offers to pay for your new life in France via its cattery located in the grounds. The present owners have built up a successful business caring for cats whilst their owners are away and there is still potential to develop it further.
I entered direct into the spacious kitchen with its newly fitted units and dining area to the rear. Beams and exposed stonework throughout mean the origins of the old barn can still be seen. The under floor heating on both floors uses a heat pump so you can enjoy turning up the thermostat on the coldest days and not worry about your electric bill. The lounge, like the rest of the downstairs is tiled and there is also a rear entrance hall, and WC, below a mezzanine landing. The bedrooms are all double size and as well as the modern bathroom, the master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and WC.
The cattery building is located in front of the house and has 10 pens that could take 3 cats each, if they know each other. The business appears well established and the owner can offer a wealth of advice for buyers about the set up. If that does not give you enough to do there is a small 2 room cottage attached to the rear could be renovated. It has a new roof. The other outbuilding is a small barn with 2 loose boxes. The land has yet to be landscaped but has lovely views over rolling countryside.
The property is situated in a quiet hamlet 10 minutes drive between the tourist towns of La Rochefoucauld and Chasseneuil, both have a good choice of shops and restaurants. Limoges and Angouleme are the nearest airports and links to TGV trains.
