Country House with Barns and Stables

Situated in the beautiful countryside of the Correze, but close to a stunning medieval town with all amenities, is this beautiful 5 bedroom Country House with barns, stables, hangar and land of 11 hectares.

Built in 1927 this lovely 3 storey country house looks out over the stunning landscape of the Correze close to Affieux and Treignac. You enter the property from a countryside lane pulling onto a nice gravel driveway. You are immediately welcomed by the steps up to the front door of the house and the grapevine growing above the door of the attached barn.

On entering the house you arrive in a spacious entrance hall. To the left of the hallway you are welcomed by a beautiful french-style country kitchen with a large window allowing lots of natural light.

Leading off the kitchen to the back of the house is a beautiful dining room with original oak flooring.

To the left of the hallway there is a very spacious living room, again with original oak floor. At the back of this room through large french doors is another very spacious room that used to be a restaurant. With the most beautiful oak floor and copious amounts of natural light, this room is crying out to be made into a living space of your choice, the ideas are endless.

At the back of the hallway is a nice bathroom with bath, bidet, sink and toilet.

Entering the first floor via a beautiful oak staircase you are greeted by a large landing area and 5 beautiful double bedrooms, all with original oak floors. Another oak staircase takes you up to the second floor where there is currently 2 rooms and a large attic that can be converted into a beautiful room, if desired.

The house has wood burning central heating and could be left partially furnished.

Opposite the house you will find a quaint stone working bread oven. Attached to the left of the house is a spacious barn, 2 stables and a useful building for storage. Above the stables there is also another barn and leading around to the rear is another 2 stables, garages and a huge hangar.

There are lovely tended gardens to the front of the house and to the rear, the one at the rear ideal for a fruit orchard.

With 11 hectares of land (110,000 m2 or 27 acres), over 6 hectares of which is pasture, this property would be ideal for keeping horses or rearing animals. There is a stream running through the land also.

The remaining land is forest or gardens therefore there is a never-ending supply of wood for the heating system.

It is less than 5 minutes in the car to Treignac (3.5km), a pretty medieval town with all amenities, including a beautiful swimming lake. The airport at Limoges is 90km and Brive 70km away from the property.

A lovely property boasting many possibilities. Must be viewed!

The department of Creuse is simply beautiful as are the neighbouring departments of Correze and Haute-Vienne in the Limousin region. Like many departments it is named after the river that meanders though the landscape. Three other rivers pass through the area, the Taurion, Gartempe and Petite-Creuse rivers. Creuse is located to the north west edge of the Massif Central mountain range and is about 6/7 hours drive from Calais and about 3 hours from Paris.

The inhabitants are called the 'Creusois' and are warm and welcoming, the area is one of the less populated departments of France being mainly rural and making the choice of properties to buy there very attractive.

Creuse has only 260 towns and villages, the urban areas are situated around the towns of Aubusson, Bourganeuf, Gueret, Sainte-Feyre and La Souterraine, these five towns form the urban centre of Creuse. This urban area is bursting with history, places to go, lots to see and many leisure activities but the major benefits of this department are the rural life and natural landscape, it is renowned for being very green and peaceful, a real haven for nature lovers with a large part of the department being covered by woodland.

There is no major industry and the economy of this department is derived from tourism, the craft industry and agriculture.

The Limousin region and especially the Creuse department is very cheap in terms of house prices. Along with other rural areas of France the demand for countryside and village property is low amongst the 'locals' as they prefer to be in or near to the larger towns, so grabbing a rural bargain is relatively easy.
