2 Bedroom Cottage set in Pretty Hamlet..

In a small hamlet a short walk away from the pretty little village of Saint Ouen sur Gartempe, this beautifully restored house looks over its own grazing land and has magnificent far reaching views to the blonde mountains.

This is rural living at its best, yet only 9 minutes drive from the popular towns of Bellac and Le Dorat, which have all the amenities needed for everyday life, Bellac also has a train station, which links to Poitier & Paris.

Limoges airport is a 40 minute drive; Poitiers airport and train station are about one hour away 20 minutes away.,

The current owner bought the property in 2002 and has re-roofed, rewired and restored and loved this house; you can sense the amount of thought that has gone into every aspect of its transformation; but it still has some scope for you to put you own mark on it. The style of the house is quite eclectic and exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

The house benefits from mains electricity, water and drainage (Fosse installed 2006), it is double glazed; the electrics and roof are new. The downstairs of the property has under floor heating, with a wood burning fire in the lounge area. Broadband is available.
