Not the meadows, but the village square in front of your door, the convenience of being able to walk out the door to do your shopping in the pleasant village and the sturdy look of a farmhouse.
You enter into a spacious hall. To the left is a kitchen. There is a sink cabinet, but that's about it. The kitchen is definitely ready for modernisation. Next to the entrance and beneath the window you will find authentic niches with panel doors. At the rear, in front of the terrace doors is enough space for a large dining table. On the other side of the hallway is the living room. This room has double doors at the front. There is still an old fireplace. In the hallway is a separate toilet. On the first floor is a landing that gives access to two good sized bedrooms, both with a small dormer. Both bedrooms have access to a very dated cabinet with toilet and sink. There is a third small room where now the boiler is installed, which could be converted into a small third room by adding a Velux. The bathroom is not finished yet. There is a shower and toilet and a corner for the washing machine.
Attached to the house a barn with an extension. This would make a good shelter for firewood perhaps.
The plot covers 1540 square meters and is situated around the house. At the front it would be possible to make several terraces. This area is facing south. On either side are several trees that provide shelter. On the kitchen-side is a plot that probably used to be the vegetable garden. Also at the back is another small (flat) garden. All this will require little maintenance.
Although you are opposite the market square, a stone wall and gate and the fact that the house is slightly elevated, will ensure your privacy. It certainly will be busy in front of your front door when a 'vide grenier' event is being held, or if it's a market day. But this is only a few times a year and it is precisely the charm of this house and its location!
The interior is outdated and needs modernisation.
The windows of the dormers need replacement, as for the shutters.
The house is habitable and you can do the works at the time.
Meanwhile, you will enjoy the French village life!

The department of Correze is located in south central France, Correze belongs to the Limousin region. Correze is the name river running through the department. The population is around 240,000 inhabitants and is split into three arrondissements (Tulle, Brive and Ussel), 38 cantons and 285 towns and villages. Lanscapes in this department are mountains, plateaus and valleys. The highest mountain is the Mont Bessou at 978m.
Correze has many pretty villages or towns. It has six villages belonging to the 'Prettiest villages of France' category, so watch out for Collonges-la-Rouge, Curemonte, Saint-Robert, Segur-le-Chateau, Treignac and Turenne.
Limousin is often described as one of the cheapest French regions in terms of property. It will depend of course on the location and your personal expectations but in general you get a lot for your money.
Less than 12% of the properties in Correze are second homes but the number is climbing as it is really sought after for quality holiday homes and setting up a B&B style business.
