2 Bed House for sale
Châteauneuf-la-Forêt, Haute-Vienne, Limousin, France
Full Description
This old north-south facing farmhouse has been recently renovated to create an original and charming layout over 3 floors. It is located along a quiet lane on the outskirts of a village with all the main amenities. It has two barns and a good size plot so you can enjoy rural architecture without being cut off from civilisation. A unique layout The house has two entrances, one on the ground floor onto a semi sunken-in living area housing an open-plan dining room with an original stone fireplace and a kitchen area with exposed ceiling beams. A useful extension comes from adjoining former pigsties to the rear of the house allowed to create a master bedroom with its ensuite shower plus a separate toilet, a utility room and an extra room with exposed stone walls. The latter benefiting from over 110 sqft in size, it would be possible to add a family bathroom to the existing layout.
An open staircase leads up to the first floor where you will find the second entrance. It is at garden level and opens out onto a south-facing wooden terrace. On this floor there is a 215 sqft lounge and office corner on a mezzanine with a prettily pointed exposed stone wall.
On the second floor, a second room with a Velux window, also on a mezzanine overlooking the living room below, could make a child's or guest bedroom.
The property is immediately habitable, only awaiting your personal input to create your very own fitted kitchen. The house is connected to mains drainage. Beautiful outbuildingsThe house has two attached barns with nicely pointed façades. The barn which immediately adjoins the house is spacious and open to the rafters. It could be a great extension to the existing liveable space, subject to planning permission being granted. The second barn has two floors with the workshop on the ground floor, and the owners have created a cubic-shaped leisure room on the first floor.
The garden The land around the house is on several different levels. The flat part to the south lies in front of the buildings and is surrounded by a wall topped by a fence, with an access double gate. There is private parking space for several vehicles a little higher up, but this part is not fenced in and there is a large basic-looking wooden and metal shed for storing tools and wood right next to the car park. The rest of the land is on a medium slope and is not fenced in. For the enthusiastic gardener, there are ways to improve the current layout, especially if you want to use the area behind the buildings. You do have neighbours but thanks to the size of your land, they stand away from your house.Daily life made easier The village the house is in has all the necessary amenities for a convenient daily life. There are shops, a supermarket, medical, social, leisure, sports facilities, schools, and a pretty swimming lake with a popular restaurant and campsite next to it. You are just 15 minutes from the small market town of Eymoutiers and just over half-an-hour away from Limoges’s centre.
