This 3 bed village house has been fully renovated and is in immaculate condition. The property is located in one of the regions prettiest villages, St Yrieix La Perche. There's an excellent selection of shops, restaurants and cafes, all within walking distance. The property has a lovely outdoor space to the rear and a large double garage.

The property is triple-fronted and, in years gone by, was one of the main bakeries in the village. Although the property has been fully renovated, many of the original features still remain, for example the original bread oven is still intact and the wooden staircase and inglenook fireplace are integral features of the house.

The property has mains gas, double-glazing, underfloor heating, mains drainage and a fast and reliable internet connection. The external shuttering on the windows and low-maintenance terrace/garden make it easy to 'lock and leave'.
