This 2-bed detached property is actually two adjoining cottages, one of which is used as the main house, the other is currently used for storage but could easily be converted into further living space. The property is in a beautiful location with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The house has double-glazing and a new septic tank.
The property was built in 1864 as two independent cottages. The owners live in one cottage and have partially renovated the second, including a new roof and velux windows. Making this cottage habitable wouldn't require much work and could be made into self-contained guest accommodation (gite) or used simply as an extension to the main cottage, which would double the current living space. If kept as it is, then it would work well as a workshop/studio.
The total habitable space is 75m2 and the cottages have the same size footprint.
The total plot size is approximately 1 acre. There is a SW facing terrace, which overlooks the garden and surrounding countryside - the views are fabulous! The current owners have very green-fingers and have created a lovely garden, which has an organic vegetable plot. There is a small outbuilding, used a garden shed.
Location:
If you're looking for hustle and bustle then this is not the property for you. If, on the other hand, you're after peace and quiet and a slice of rural French life then this certainly fits the bill.
The property is situated in a friendly hamlet of 6 other houses, one of which is another British-owned home. Bread and other basics can be found 2miles away in the village of Magnat l'Etrange, whilst the larger towns of Giat and Crocq are a 15min drive. There is an excellent weekly market in the pretty town of Felletin, which is a 25min drive. The airport at Limoges is a 90min drive.
