Full Description
This cottage, nestled among the hills of the Limousin countryside at the end of a cul-de-sac, is a true favourite, combining the charm of stone with an idyllic setting. It has been completely renovated and comes fully furnished. A rare opportunity for a person or a couple to enjoy a magnificent setting without worrying about renovations!The charm continues insideOn the ground floor, you enter directly into a spacious living room with a warm-coloured tiled floor. To the right of the front door, the fitted kitchen opens onto the dining room. It includes a hob, dishwasher, and extractor fan. To one side is the stone fireplace, featuring a Jotul cast iron log burner. To the left of the entrance, the lounge is the ideal place to relax. The exposed beam ceiling, combined with the repointed stone walls, gives this room a real character. An opening in the exterior wall provides access to an extension of the house, housing the modern bathroom via a hallway where the washing machine has been fitted. From the hallway, French doors open onto the terrace and garden at the rear of the house.
A beautiful solid wood staircase in the living room leads to the converted attic space on the first floor. A landing with a Velux window, French doors, and a door to the attic space above the bathroom leads to the bedroom with a Velux and low storage cupboards under the eaves. Both rooms are heated by the heat pump in winter and cooled by the air conditioning system of the same pump in summer. The landing also houses the cottage's electric hot water tank.
The house also benefits from several storage spaces: under the living room, a cellar with a block and beam ceiling accessible through an exterior door, and an old bread oven, attached to the house, allows you to store your garden tools and houses the clothes dryer. A small shed is located in the garden for storing your firewood.Pleasant outdoor spaces and a curiosityThe house is located in the middle of its fully fenced plot of over ¼ acre. In front of the house, the southwest-facing wooden terrace enjoys an unobstructed view of the surrounding meadows and woodlands. You can even hear the small fresh water stream flowing along a neighbouring plot. Right next to the terrace, a second concrete terrace has been specially designed for an over-ground swimming pool. A small retro-style lamppost brings light to these spaces at nightfall, allowing you to enjoy the garden even longer! A third gravel terrace extends from the old bread oven, facing southeast. It features a wooden arbor above the garden table to protect you from the hot summer sun. The second part of the garden, facing northeast and northwest, also features a small terrace, lawn, and a wooded area. It's truly a varied garden! There's only one neighbour who lives here all year round, and he's on the east side, but the lush vegetation prevents any overlooked views.
Finally, this garden has a surprise in store for you, as there's a lovely gypsy caravan on the northwest side of the garden, which, with its double bed and bathroom, will delight your guests!Access and amenitiesThe house is located in the village of Saint-Germain-les-Belles, which has shops and a swimming lake. The village centre is only a 5-minute drive away. Magnac-Bourg and its supermarket are less than 10 minutes away. Limoges, its shops and cultural life are only 30 minutes away.
