Halfway between Limoges and Brive and their airports, the chateau village of Coussac Bonneval is a 10 minute drive from the market town of St Yrieix La Perche with its amenities including hospital, secondary school, sports centre and train station. The village of Coussac Bonneval has everything you would need on a daily basis including 2 bakery shops, grocery shop, butcher, 2 hairdressers, garden centre, post office, primary school and our office.
Located at the entrance to the village and close to the shops, this one time 4 bedroom family home with garden and attached garage has a huge amount of development potential. It was built in 1827 by the current owner’s grandfather and was later modified to have an independent shop on the ground floor with a separate 1st floor 2 bedroom apartment. It has 136 m2 of habitable space over 2 levels not including the convertible attic which is about 70m2. The property does need to be internally refreshed and updated depending on what you wish do with it. On the first floor there are boarded up fireplaces in each room and if you remove the floor coverings, I’ve be assured that the original parquet floor is still intact beneath.
Currently on the ground floor there are 3 rooms + wc, which used to be a living room, kitchen and dining room when it was the family home and subsequently modified to create the shop space. On the first floor there is currently a living room, very basic kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom; although these rooms where all bedrooms when it was the family home and the back rooms have great overs over the garden and surrounding countryside.
Each level has its own water and electricity meter, there is electric heating on the ground floor and wood fired central heating on the 1st floor. This property could easily be converted back to a spacious 4 bedroom home; it could be converted into a chic guest house or bed and breakfast; it could be used as an investment property by creating 2 independent apartments to rent out either for holidays or as long term rentals or the shop could be revitalised and either owner’s accommodation above or an apartment to rent. The great thing about this property the choice is yours about how you use it.
There is 395 m2 of land which is to the rear of the house, part of which is a walled courtyard with steps down to the garden. Why not get in contact today to make an appointment to view?
