Approaching the 3 bedroom stone and ardoise slate roof house you feel the character of the place, with the granite stone path to the front door and the roses growing around the entrance to the house. Entering the house you arrive into a very welcoming and homely living room (35m2) full of character features such as exposed beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace housing a very cosy woodburner.

Looking out of the dormer windows you have the most magnificent views with the village of Aubazine in the distance. This floor also has a nice modern shower room with toilet (7.5m2).

Accessed from outside at the front of the house, stone steps take you to the cellar, which is a great space for storage and keeping the wine cool.

The house is heated by the large woodburner situated on the ground floor and is supplemented by electric radiators in each room. The property benefits from mains drainage. There is a very good sized car port with slate roof keeping in character with the property.

The parking area is gated and has more than enough room for 2 cars. Within the well-designed landscaped gardens there are many established plants and shrubs including a beautiful wisteria.

There is a nice BBQ area, a new stone terrace constructed just 2 years ago for outside dining and a beautiful lawned areas.

Next to the car port there is also a useful area which could be used as a gated area for pets or anything you desire.

Away from the property there is also two small parcelles of wooded land, excellent for keeping the woodburner going. The Correze is home to a rich variety of unspoilt natural scenery.
