Beaux Villages are delighted to offer for sale this spacious stone-built country home, located in a hamlet of Dinsac, near the popular village of Le Dorat. This lovely house has benefited from extensive restoration, with the finished result offering many modern touches combined with traditional aesthetic like interior exposed stone and timber and newly-tiled flooring, all of which enhance the original character of the house. The property includes an adjacent house, also finished to a high standard, which is currently operated as a holiday gite, garnering high ratings on AirBnb and other vacation websites. There is a large well-maintained garden, which encircles the house plus two spacious barns.

The properties and garden are accessed by a private drive, leading to a gravelled forecourt. The ground floor of the main house comprises a newly-fitted modern kitchen with plenty of work and food preparation space, including an island in the centre. The walls are the original stone, fully restored, and the floors are newly-laid stone tiles. Extending from the kitchen is a spacious dining area which includes two large vertical-shaped radiators. This area benefits from plenty of natural light, coming in via the double-glazed patio doors and windows and is perfect for welcoming guests and entertaining.

Adjacent to the kitchen/diner is a comfortable lounge area, with wood-laminate flooring and inlaid ceiling spot lamps. The centrepiece of the lounge is a large wood burner set in the original fireplace, perfect for cosy winter evenings by the fire. At the far end of the ground floor is an office and utility room, which also includes additional space for storage.

The next floor up comprises two double bedrooms, decorated to a high standard plus a new bathroom comprising a walk-in glass shower, sink and WC.
There is also an extra room currently used as storage space which could be turned into an additional bedroom.

The adjacent self-contained house has its own external private entrance for guests plus an additional internal entrance for maintenance and cleaning. This property is set across three floors, with the ground floor offering a large open plan kitchen/dining area and lounge space. The first floor offers two bedrooms and a bathroom and the upper floor contains a third double bedroom and bathroom. As with the main house, this property is fully double-glazed throughout.

The peaceful and picturesque garden, which surrounds the property, is well-maintained with a spacious lawn area plus mature trees and shrubs and is easy to maintain all year round. Irrigation can be supplied by a working well within the grounds. There is a small pond in the garden plus a chicken house. Given its size, parts of the land could be portioned off further to develop a cottage garden. Opposite the house, within the grounds, are two large barns, one currently used as a gym, the other for garden and tool storage.

The pretty village of Le Dorat is just 3 minutes drive away and offers a supermarket, schools, doctors, veterinary surgeon, two bakers, a pharmacy, restaurants, bars and a cinema. There is also a weekly food market in the main square. 15 minutes away is the town of Bellac which has main supermarkets, pharmacies, DIY stores, butchers and the weekly farmer’s market plus additional bars and restaurants. Limoges Airport is located 45 minutes away.

This property is a perfect country home and offers the unique combination of privacy without being isolated from local amenities. The additional benefit of the on-site gite offers an immediate and ready-made opportunity for year-round income. Viewing is highly recommended.
