Competitively priced to encourage an early sale, this fully renovated, 3-bedroom detached country cottage, is situated at the edge of a rural hamlet and is the perfect spot to chill out and yet it's very accessible, being only an hour from Limoges Airport. It is being sold fully furnished and ready to move into.
This lovely mid-19th century stone cottage is fully furnished and ready to move into. It has been renovated and extensively refreshed and will make an ideal holiday home or could just as well be a permanent residence. A new septic tank was installed in 2014 and is fully compliant with the current regulations.
Detached, it is the last property in a small hamlet populated by a very friendly mix of French and British residents. The grassy garden is sunny, but also has patches of shade from the tall trees. The driveway can easily accommodate 2-3 cars or a caravan/mobile home. There is also a useful wooden shed next to a stack of logs for the wood burner. A separate gravelled terrace offers a lovely view across meadows to the wooded hills beyond. This South-facing sun-trap is where you can dine al fresco in the daytime and admire the Milky Way by night.
The hamlet, consisting of 17 houses in all, is an hour's drive from Limoges Airport. It is a 10 minute drive north to the market town of Bourganeuf with bars, restaurants, cinema, health centre, medieval castle and large hypermarket. It is a similar distance from Peyrat-le-Chateau to the south with a lovely small lake, weekly market, another cinema and a very friendly, English-run pub/hotel (Le Bellerive). Just over 20 minutes' drive gets one to the famous beauty spot and art centre at Lake Vassivière with restaurants, sailing, swimming beaches and children's park. This the heart of 'La France Profonde', a green region of rolling wooded hills, lakes and market towns guaranteed to lower blood pressure and stress levels.
