Offered for sale is this renovated 5/7-bed stone house, situated in a sought-after village, in the Haute Vienne, which is 7km from St Pardoux, a well-known tourist attraction in the area.
The village seems quiet; but it has a very active social committee and calendar and houses in this area do not come up for sale that often due to the proximity of leisure facilities and Limoges itself. Because of this the house was previously a bed and breakfast and could if required be one again. It also naturally lends itself to the possibility of being split into a gite and house; together with also having a barn which is ripe for conversion; should you want to.
To the front of the house, you have parking and a small garden, ideal should you want to change the barn into another dwelling. To the back of the house, there is off road access/driveway and a good-sized garden, with vegetable plot and two covered terraces with views to a local lake.
The house consists of…
Ground Floor - A spacious equipped kitchen, with integrated appliances and an island with hob and excellent storage. Open plan access into a dining room with a Godin wood-burning stove, and doors onto the terrace and back garden. A bedroom (or office) with an en-suite bathroom and toilet, again with access onto the terrace, a large living room of over 80 m² with a magnificent open fireplace, French windows opening onto the patio and covered terrace, and the most amazing bespoke staircase leading to the first floor.
First Floor - A large landing area with meticulously laid wood flooring and doors to a bedroom with views of the lake with an ensuite bathroom; a linen room; a storage cupboard. A second bedroom with ensuite and separate dressing room, and steps to a small landing area with bedroom, shower room and laundry room. The laundry room has a second set of stairs to the second floor.
Second Floor - Another good-sized landing area, with doors to a large bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a storage room, a music room, with an access door to a children's single bedroom with stairs down into the laundry room.
The above is how the house is currently configured, however it could be 7 bedrooms, if you count in the music room and child’s bedroom and or dressing room.
