Maison à vendre à Saint-Germain-les-Belles
Saint-Germain-les-Belles, Haute-Vienne, Limousin, France
Description complète
A typical Limousin farmhouse in need of renovation, with an adjoining barn, a well and outbuildings, situated in the middle of its ca. ¼ acre plot of land. It could be converted into a gîte (holiday rental) or would make a suitable main residence for a first-time buyer.The little houseThe house comprises two rooms separated by a landing, with a main entrance (south side) and a secondary entrance (north side). The former kitchen with an open fireplace has a south-facing window. The double-aspect bedroom is situated above a cellar. In the centre, a landing with a staircase leading to the cellar and the convertible attic above.
The main works required include: roof repairs, replacement of all windows and doors and the attic staircase, insulation, plumbing, electrical work (no electric meter at the moment), heating, and installation of a compliant septic tank system. The house itself and the ground floor appear to be in good structural condition.Attached barnAn Auvergne-style barn (with two separate floors) fitted with a good natural slate roof is attached to the house and offers a good amount of usable space. The mains water connection is located on the ground floor. A planning permission application is currently pending to determine whether it can be converted to extend the main house. Adjacent to the barn are stone pigsties with a tiled roof and a storage loft above. In front of the barn, a well provides a useful water source for the garden or as a complementary water supply. Separate from the main buildings are some old rabbit hutches.The landThe property, just over ¼ acre, is fully enclosed, with a stone wall along the front and cattle fencing on the other sides. A grass driveway provides access for vehicles to the hayloft in the barn. The land surrounding the property is agricultural and is not buildable. There is only one neighbouring property, and it is located on the other side of the road. There will be no other neighbour.Situation and amenitiesLocated close to the main roads between Limoges and Brive-la-Gaillarde, and about 5 minutes from the amenities of Saint-Germain-les-Belles and Magnac-Bourg.
