Majestic 1920's Mansion House

REDUCED in price - Majestic 1920's mansion in a tourist spa resort in the Limousin, perfect for a B&B.

This lovingly maintained house from the 1920's is truly magnificent! Maybe something for you to start a B&B. A popular spa health and wellness centre nearby annually provides many guests who need a long stay.

Located along a main road it has all amenities within walking distance. Through the monumental arcade with balcony on the 1st floor you enter a large hall with original mosaic flooring and decorated ceiling.

Various doors here give access to wonderfully wallpapered lounges or dining rooms, whatever you want to make of it. A side entrance with glass conservatory leads to a space where a large professional kitchen could be situated.

The eye-catching wooden staircase takes you to 4 beautiful rooms of which 3 with marble fireplace, and 2 washrooms and a toilet. The attic has another 2 rooms and under the whole house is a large basement. But that's not all!

The enclosed terrain of 2215 m2 has also a hangar, garage and a 3 bedroom apartment of 50m2.

Another 2 outbuildings, orchard and garden with large trees makes this house complete. Always wanted to start a B&B, then be pleasantly surprised during your visit!

Taxe fonciere 2014 was 1565 euros, no Taxe d'habitation.

It has a large garden around the house with big trees, bushes and an orchard, all is privatly fenced, distance to neighbours ranges from about 10-30 meters.

All rooms have beautiful oak flooring and (mostly) silk wallpaper, most of which with marble fireplace; it is really a very lovingly maintained property.

A toilet and washing cabinet are downstairs present as well as the same combination on the 1st floor, but both need updating. Also on the floor - where there are 4 bedrooms, 3 with marble fireplaces - there is a bathroom with washstand and mirror, but no bath or shower, though water supply and drainage are already present. Downstairs is a large kitchen space but without kitchen cabinets and equipment. The 2nd floor has a large room within and a smaller one that used to be a locker room.

Annexes:

The apartment above the garage next to the large hangar (143m2) has 3 rooms with the same finishing as the rooms in the mainhouse, but no plumbing, watersupply, drainage nor electrics present, so all that needs to be connected from the mainhouse. Downstairs behind the garage is a kitchen space but without cabinets nor equipment.

In the back of the garden are some small annexes: a little workshop with attic and a small barn with 2 former toilet cabinets.

The large cellar under the whole house contains a central fuel system for heating and hot water supply, a water well with pump and a large oil tank. Two other large cellar rooms can be used as storage.

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 espeically 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.
