#Situated in a quiet lane of a countryside hamlet is this pretty, detached stone house with lovely countryside views and bags of character.
The grounds are just over half an acre (2,830m2) and are easily maintained. There are various fruit and nut trees. It has 2 good sized outbuildings close to the property ,the 1st is a large barn (approx. 120m2) that has had previous permission for conversion (renewable), and ideal for storage space or as a garage.The 2nd building also has CU permission to convert, is a large stone hangar currently used as a workshop.Lastly, in the garden, is a cute ‘porcherie’ peeping out from below a large walnut tree. There is a cellar below the house containing the boiler and water heater that is currently used for storage.
Attached to the back of the house and accessible from both the lounge and kitchen is a partly covered and decked terrace, perfect for entertaining, a shaded lunch or just sunbathing.
There is a natural flow to the house, starting with the spacious (47m2) living room with its exposed beams and stone walls, there are two stone fireplaces, both with stoves making it a comfortable homely space. Move on to a spacious sunny kitchen with its utility room next door, and you find a downstairs bedroom overlooking the garden with its own shower room.
A staircase from the kitchen goes up to an L shaped landing, from which there are 2 double bedrooms (one is a large master bedroom) both with their own shower room, and a single bedroom which could be used as an office. There is an insulated loft above.
Throughout the house there are exposed roof timbers, beams and stone walls.
The house has a choice of oil-fired central heating or wood burning stoves in the kitchen and living room. Upstairs is currently electric radiators, but the plumbing is in place to continue the central heating if required. The house is fully double- glazed and the Internet signal is good. One side of the roof was replaces in 2007 and the other is fine , and is insulated.
Within 15 mins you have the historic market towns of St-Yrieix la Perche and Excideuil. Both have many individual shops, bars and restaurants, supermarkets, the former has a large swimming pool and excellent hospital. The nearby village, just 2km distant has its own restaurant.
