Marval (87) - For sale : 3 bed stone..

A beautifully renovated 3 bedroomed stone cottage with lovely gardens and swimming pool plus a one bedroom gite and barn.

Nestling behind impressive wrought iron gates in a small rural hamlet sits this charming property which offers utmost privacy in a tranquil setting. The property has been fully renovated but manages a perfect blend of modern, luxury fitments with old wood and exposed stonework to create a warm and comforting environment.

To the front of the house is a graveled courtyard with a stone capped well and a large stone barn containing an ancient Huguenot inscription carved on one of the wooden beams. The barn is totally secure and offers excellent storage space (including garaging for two cars) and a workshop.

The main house is entered via a Hallway with wooden stairs rising to the first floor. The modern fitted Kitchen has a range of top quality wall and floor units including a range of integrated appliances and with black 'Corian' worktops. There is a range cooker with gas hob and electric ovens sitting beneath an extractor canopy. There is a wood burning stove sitting within the old stone fireplace whilst the old bread oven has been made into a real talking point with a glass panel and interior lighting.

Across the Hallway is the Dining Room (currently utilised as a second lounge) with a beautifully polished wooden floor and wood burning stove.

There is an open archway through to the Lounge, created from a former barn and featuring a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone walls and original oak beams. Doors open out into the garden whilst a wood burning stove creates a central focus point. To one end is a mezzanine floor which creates a Study area with full internet access available. There is also a shower room with W.C. immediately accessible from the garden.

On the first floor is a delightful landing area off which are three Bedrooms, two of which are double rooms with built in wardrobes, and a Bathroom. Having been converted from the former loft space, head height into the eaves is limited on this floor and there are low beams to negotiate, however the use of skylight windows helps to maintain it as a light and airy environment.

The Gite adjoins the main house and could equally be used as a self-contained apartment for a dependent relative. It has one double Bedroom with an Ensuite Shower Room, a fitted Dining Kitchen with hob, oven and dishwasher, a Lounge with a wood burning stove and a Utility Room. It could be let for £450 per week in high season and is offered in fully furnished condition as part of this sale.

The gardens to the rear of the property have been laid out with great care and attention to create a completely private environment with a range of mature trees, shrubs, flower beds and sweeping lawns. The 10m by 5m swimming pool is fully fenced for security.

This property has been priced to reflect the fact that whilst the current fosse septique is functioning without problems, it does not conform to the latest regulations, therefore the new owners will be required to install a new fosse septique within 12 months of purchase.

The hamlet lies just 2km outside the village of Marval which has a small general store and a bar/restaurant whilst 15 minutes drive away is the town of Piegut-Pluviers that has an acclaimed Wednesday market which is typically French with local produce and goods being readily available. Limoges International Airport with regular flights to and from the UK is just 40 minutes drive away.
