Detached Farmhouse With Barn, 3 Hectares

This house is only 10 minutes walk from all the facilities at the pretty town of Coussac-Bonneval, this spacious 3 BEDROOM FARMHOUSE is set in the hills around the town and looks over to the stunning Chateau, home of the Marquis de Bonneval, no less. The property also comes with a huge traditional barn (with planning permission for conversion).

It is surrounded by gardens, vegetable plots, chicken runs and 3 hectares of meadow complete with water source.

Entering the farmhouse you arrive into a spacious kitchen (25m2) recently refitted and with a woodburning stove and space large enough for a large farmhouse table. Leading from the kitchen is a large living/dining room (25m2) with lots of natural light and french doors leading onto a terrace overlooking the garden. This room has a cosy woodburner and lovely original wooden floor.

Leading off the kitchen is a nice double bedroom (18m2) and a new modern bathroom with bath, separate shower, basin and toilet.

Also on this floor is access to the garage, utility room, 2 cellars and a further shower room and toilet.

Entering the first floor via a wooden staircase from the hallway, there are 2 nice double bedrooms (25m2 and 23m2), one leading into the other. These bedrooms are spacious and have exposed beams. There is also a rather useful third room of 9m2, which could be used as an office or hobby room.

The property has oil-fired central heating and benefits from a new central heating boiler, which was installed during 2013. New double glazed windows were installed during 2011 complete with new wooden shutters.

The stone-built barn opposite the house is a useful addition to this property. It has an approximate floor area of 270m2 and benefits from power, light and water. The current owners have received planning permission to make the barn a habitable space. The barn roof houses solar panels, which in 2013 provided an income of approximately 1,500 euros.

You will find within the grounds large vegetable gardens, chicken runs, a large flat field excellent for grazing, some fruit trees and a lawned garden area with seating and a terrace for the summer barbeques.

Across the small road opposite the property is a field of 2 hectares, where the current owners keep their grazing sheep. It is fully fenced and has a natural water source.
