Lovely Stone Farmhouse With 2 Barns

Situated in the Correzienne countryside with panoramic views over the Massif Monedieres is this lovely 3 (potential for more) bedroom farmhouse together two attached barns and gardens of 2220m2. Built in local stone this property is in need of internal decoration and therefore creates a blank canvas for making the property your own without renovation.

The property situated in a small rural hamlet with views over the surrounding countryside. A rural setting but with ease of access to both Madranges, Treignac and Seilhac, this property benefits from the countryside views but with close access to the amenities of a small town.

Approaching the farmhouse you feel the character of the place, with the granite stone steps to the front door. Entering the farmhouse you arrive into a very characterful kitchen (40m2) with a beautiful large inglenook fireplace.

A real feature of the room. Leading from the kitchen is a large living room (32m2) with a separate door leading out to the front of the house.

Off the living room is a bedroom (8m2). Leading from the other side of the kitchen are two bedrooms (13m2) and a shower room and separate toilet. Leading up a staircase from the kitchen you will find a huge attic crying out to be converted. There are two large rooms up here, one with a window at the end of the room and the other housing a roof velux, therefore both rooms already have a natural light source. You can see from the attic that the roof is in good condition and the roof timbers also.

Underneath the main living area accessed internally and externally is a large cellar that runs the full length of the house. The access from the outside has a double door the size of a garage door therefore an excellent space for a workshop. The cellar is also a great space (again above head height) with a mill wheel nicely placed in the corner. A great feature of an old property.

Attached to the house are two barns, which create many possibilities for this property. The house is heated by oil central heating throughout plus a cosy woodburner in the kitchen.

The drainage is via septic tank.

The property has gardens that surround the property of 2220m2.

Tax Fonciere is 437 euros a year.
