Three Bed Farmhouse with Large Barn, Bread oven and Well on over 1 Acre of land Located on the outskirts of a small village of about forty inhabitants, at the border of the county of Correze and Haute Vienne, this magnificent pointed farmhouse has kept its original soul. It faces south and is in an idyllic setting on the edge of its beautiful plot of over 1 acre planted with fruit, ornamental trees and bushes.

The property is fully fenced in with its private entrance gate. It has been renovated retaining its typical features, such as exterior pointed stone walls with granite doors and windows surrounds, solid wooden shutters and slate roofs.

- Ground floor: the house has a large 380ft2 open kitchen/living room with a stone fireplace and imposing 10 inches thick ceiling beams, solid wood windows with original 'espagnolette' locks. Two 140ft2 and 145ft2 independent bedrooms, one of which has an external access door to the west side. Indoors, there is a solid and rustic atmosphere, thanks to the mix of rendered white walls, brown doors with varnished solid wood frames and tiled floors lain over a (brick) block and (concrete) beam base over the entire ground floor area.

The old adjoining animal shelters have been converted into an 8m2 bathroom with separate toilet.

- First floor: a small landing opens onto a large 325ft2 attic bedroom with parquet floors and a Velux window. One could easily create a (en-suite) bathroom on one side of this room or even divide the room to get an additional bedroom and install a bathroom with a toilet in the adjacent 226ft2 unconverted attic.

The possibilities are endless!

On the technical side, the buildings impress with their solidity and the quality of the construction materials used, whether they be for the house or its large attached Limousine-style barn with its 1400ft2 floor space. This charming property is built to last. However, some modernisations are needed, especially regarding electricity, the heating system, the production of hot water and the septic tank. The kitchen is functional though very simple, and the bathroom will need an update.

- Outside: The relatively flat quite simply laid out land, is mostly spread out in front of and on the sides of the buildings. There is an old well in front of the barn, a very nice independent bread oven with a bakehouse and storage space above it. By the entrance gate there is a woodshed, which although basic, is fit for its purpose.

The location is superb, the country setting with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.

There are indeed neighbours, but they are at a reasonable distance.

The property is located 45 minutes from Limoges Centre, 4 1/3 miles from the villages with shops of La Croisille and Chamberet, about twenty minutes from the Treignac and Chateauneuf-la-Foret supermarkets.

Come as soon as you can to discover this little paradise.

The department of Haute-Vienne is in the region of Limousin and boasts a varied landscape of forests, countryside and lakes that attract many tourists each year looking for a range of activities including walking, fishing, sailing, boating and skiing.

In addition, the department has a strong historical and cultural heritage and the landscape is dotted with Roman churches, abbeys and fortified castles. Beautiful man-made beaches are easily accessible and are a good alternative for a great day out. In particular, the Lake of Vassiviere, created in 1950, is extremely popular with visitors.

It is sometimes known as the Land of a Thousand Lakes, the Limousin and its Haute-Vienne department offer beautiful and preserved landscapes. Waterfalls sparkling in the middle of rocks and trees, myriads of flowers and impressive dense forests are the kind of treasures that can be discovered in the department.

Transport links are good too, the easy and cheap access from the United Kingdom with companies as Ryanair or from French cities made that Limoges and the Haute-Vienne became an attractive destination. There is also a project of enlargement for Limoges' airport.

The department has a semi-continential climate with summer temperatures in the mid 20's, perfect for enjoying the scenery.
