Meilhards, Corrèze, Limousin, France
Full Description
Will you restore this to the charming holiday retreat it once was? With its lovely driveway, the large tree in front of the house that shields the romantic terrace – with its Roman balustrade and well – from the harsh sun, and the swimming pool with its sheltered terrace, you can easily imagine spending wonderful holidays here. If you’re not afraid to work, you’ll soon be able to enjoy them here again!
Typically FrenchThis typically French house features, on the ground floor, a kitchen-diner with a large stone fireplace and a salon with a small fireplace. There is a cellar beneath the living room. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a bathroom (shower, washbasin and toilet). From one of the bedrooms, a fixed staircase leads to the loft (which is high enough to stand upright in the centre).
The house has not been used in recent years and a leak in the roof has damaged the wooden floors and the electrical system. The hole in the roof will be repaired. However, some of the wooden floors will need to be replaced, as will the electrics, most of the taps, and the wooden shutters and windows. In addition, it is wise to consider replacing the entire roof.
Guest room and swimming poolOn the left of the house is a guest room with the old bread oven and a bathroom (shower, washbasin and toilet). Next to this guest accommodation, measuring approximately 30 m², is a gravel terrace, which leads onto a stone terrace beside the swimming pool. The swimming pool’s pump is still in working order, but it has not been used in recent years, so the water is dark.
Furnishings includedTo the right of the house stands the large barn. This consists of an ‘outdoor room’ and storage space. The barn is full of tools and materials which, like the rest of the furnishings, are included in the sale of the house.
SurroundingsThe plot measures approximately 5,000 m². Thanks to the surrounding trees and shrubs, you’ll enjoy a very sheltered location on the edge of a small village. The village has a lovely fishing lake, a small restaurant and a little shop. For larger shopping trips, you can head to the charming towns of Uzerche or Chamberet. The immediate surroundings are perfect for wonderful walks or cycle rides. In short, this is your chance to buy a lovely holiday home at an attractive price, provided you’re prepared to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.
