Full Description


This charming farmhouse with 3 bedrooms has everything you need: enough space for a family, two beautiful storage barns, a functional bread oven and a large plot of land of ca. 2 1/3 acres with a vegetable garden and some fruit trees. It was completely renovated from the year 2018 on. It has no close neighbours and benefits from a beautiful open view of the South-facing valley in front. You have to come and take a look at it!The houseIts interior, originally laid out in lots of small rooms, was completely remodelled. The load-bearing partitions have gone and have been replaced by metal beams to drastically simplify the layout into a single open-plan living area (32’4”x20’9”). This consists of a fully fitted kitchen area with a central island, a dining area just in front of the large sliding aluminium bay window, from where you can enjoy a clear view of the countryside below, a lounge area with a powerful wood burner and a bar area! The decoration cleverly mixes the rustic side of repointed stone and exposed brickwork with the industrial side of metal ceiling beams and the bar made from recycled metal barrels.The covered front terrace is a nice addition to the living space.An exposed light oak staircase sits in the middle of the room and takes you to the 1st floor, in the converted attic, onto a landing (~96 sqft) lit by natural light from a skylight window. At the end of the landing, a separate WC (~10 sqft), also with a Velux, A family bathroom (10’6”x5’2”) with a Velux window, minimalist shower and large vanity unit, the master bedroom (~178 sqft) with an alcove: why not create a private bathroom or dressing room there? Two guest bedrooms (~92 sqft each), both with built-in wardrobes, Velux windows, and one with a window on the gable wall, round up the layout of this bright and practical house. A few small tasks will add the finishing touch to this beautiful renovation. The house has been fitted with a recent compliant septic tank.
      The outbuildingsIf you have vehicles or equipment/tools to protect from the elements, no to worry here, because you have two beautiful storage barns with around 1.300 sqft of floor space in total. An old metal-built lean-to has been kept against one side of the house, which detracts a little from the homogeneous impression that this property offers, but it has the merit of offering even more storage space.The gardenA private dirt driveway leads up from the road to the house which overlooks its own plot of just under 2 ½ acres. There is a slight slope to the land, but nothing too detrimental. There is no gate or fence at the front of the land, but as it is surrounded on 3 sides by agricultural land, there is a fence on those sides. A large vegetable garden has been planted by the owner, because the land is very fertile and suitable for cultivation. There are already well-yielding fruit trees (walnut, pear, and apple), but there is room to plant many more, or to put up agricultural polytunnels. Market gardener friends, you are welcome to come and visit...The place and its accessYou are part of the village of Saint Germain les Belles, less than 10 minutes from the village centre, its amenities, and services. The nearby Magnac Bourg supermarket can be reached in 10 minutes.Limoges’s centre is half an hour away by car and by train (St Germain les Belles station). Bellegarde International Airport is 40 minutes away.
