Located on a hill, in a dominant situation, in a hamlet of just 2 houses along a small local road without any traffic, this renovated 5-bedroom farmhouse with 2 adjoining barns, benefits from South-facing panoramic and open views over the surrounding countryside. A nice plot of land of almost 2 ½ acres surrounding the large buildings, as well as access to an underground spring throughout the year, give you the opportunity to have your own animals in ideal conditions.
The House
These are two rendered stone dwellings combined into one, over two floors. You enter the house into a cosy open-plan living room. It has a large, tiled floor, a wood burner within the pointed stone fireplace that still features the access door to the adjoining bread oven, a fitted kitchen and a solid wood staircase to access the first floor. From this room, you enter the second house through a thick stone wall where you have a lounge with a wood burner fitted within a large fireplace. The lounger connects to a secondary entrance hall/boot room. To its right, a separate area has been created as if you were in a B&B. It comprises a bedroom with its ensuite bathroom which includes a shower, a washbasin, a toilet and an electric towel warmer. To the rear of the bedroom, a door opens onto a landing where there is the hatch door to the cellar, washing machine and dryer, and another staircase to the first floor.
On the 1st floor, a landing with built-in cupboards leads to a shower room with WC, a second bedroom, a third bedroom, then a fourth bedroom with its ensuite shower room and toilet. The latter is connected to a room that can be used as an office. An additional landing, from where the staircase runs down to the living room on the ground floor, leads to a 5th full-depth bedroom and a family bathroom with a toilet. All rooms on the 1st floor have skylight windows.
Ready to move into, the house has both recent insulation, electricity, and the septic tank is up to regulations.
The Outbuildings
Two stone and slate barns adjacent to the house bring great possibilities to this property. A large Auvergne-style barn (two floors of 52 ½ ft x 33ft) with a first stable housing a laundry room/workshop and, for info, the septic tank of the house, then two other stables with 3 horse boxes and a tack room. On the first floor of this building, an open hay barn accessible through a large rear door offers great storage potential. The second barn (50ft x 26ft), adjacent to the first, consists, on the ground floor, of a cold store and a stable, above which is a hayloft accessible from the rear of the building. And then there is an open barn to its side. Finally, a ca. 320ft² wooden lean-to is attached to the gable end of the second barn.
The Land
You benefit from nearly 2 ½ acres of fully fenced meadow. A spring, on which you have a right of access, arrives on one side of the land to form a small natural basin (called a fishery in the region) whose overflow flows over the ground below. The water is used to water the animals of the current owners. There is a small vegetable garden, an enclosure for ducks and chickens and of course the view is magnificent! It spreads out to the South and East sides over the valley made of meadows and woodland.
Location and access
This is a great advantage of this property: a fantastic place and access via a small local road without traffic. There is only one neighbour, and you drive past it to access your own land and then you are at home. The small hamlet in which the farm is located is 10 minutes from local amenities and shops located in La Croisille sur Briance and Châteauneuf-la-Forêt. Limoges is three quarters of an hour away, and its international airport 55 minutes away.
