Looking for a rural retreat with a bit of character ? Here is one just for you...
Set in the hills above the riverside village of Brivezac, this C19th stone house stands in an elevated situation overlooking woodland. Approached via a private driveway, there is plenty of off-road parking. A large sun terrace runs the entire length of the house. The owners are installing a new pool for 2014 right in front of the house.
You enter via the fitted kitchen, 4.25 x 3.65 which is large enough to take a dining table, and has a useful utility / larder off. The kitchen opens on to a dining room 4.5 x 4.25 with French doors to the terrace, and a feature central fireplace, that is back to back with the lounge. The lounge is a generous 5.25 x 4.25, with similar features, (fireplace, French doors) plus in addition exposed stone walls giving you a glimpse of the foundations for this property. Also on this floor is a utlity area and WC.
Stairs lead out of the dining area to the 1st floor mezzanine area 6 x 4.25, with a galleried area ideal as a study. This floor houses the 2 principal bedrooms - the master bedroom is 5.25 x 5, with a balcony and en-suite bathroom, and on the other side of the mezzanine is the 2nd bedroom 5 x 3.5, again with a balcony, but with a bathroom adjacent.
A 2nd staircase rises to the 2nd floor with another study area, and 2 further bedrooms (all with Mansard style ceilings), plus a WC.
Outside, there is a boiler / utility room. (There is gas central heating installed, but the boiler needs replacement, and this will not be undertaken by the vendors). To the side of the house is a detached barn / garage, the lower part of which is used as a workshop, and the upper half has been converted into a single bedroom apartment.
In total, the grounds extend to almost 3.25 ha, but immediately around the house the 3 principal plots offer a more manageable 2,617m. The other parcels are great for providing a source of wood for the open fires.
The property is in good condition, with a lauzes roof, plenty of exposed beams on display, and in a tranquil situation. The beautiful riverside towns of Beaulieu Sur Dordogne 10 km, and Argentat at 18 km offer a good choice of local commerce & restaurants. Brive is the nearest airport, but Limoges, Toulouse and Bordeaux are all within 2 hours. Priced realistically.
A DPE report is available for this property, but a rating is not produced as the property has not been used as a permanent home. More photos available. P6529
