This cute 3-bedroom former farmhouse represents a perfect compromise between the charm of yesteryear and the comfort of a modern home. It is located in a hamlet hidden from the main roads, overlooking the valley and the river meandering below. This is the ideal place for your holidays. A pretty little house renovated and ready to move into, with its garden enjoying a magnificent view, its barn and wooded plots. It is located a few minutes from the villages with amenities of Bénévent-l'Abbaye and Fursac, nestled in the hilly Creuse countryside. Come discover this preserved place and enjoy the benefits of nature on your doorstep!
The dwelling house is located at the end of a row of old stone buildings with, on one side, a neighbour's barn and, on the other, its own pretty enclosed and landscaped garden.
Its layout is as follows on the ground floor:
- An entrance to the rustic kitchen/dining room (ca. 200 Sqft) over antique stone paving with recent cast iron wood range cooker installed within the stone fireplace
- A tiled back kitchen/utility room (ca. 96 Sqft) with glass-panelled door opening onto…
- A covered porch (ca. 53 Sqft) with a door to…
- A concrete block extension housing a shower room with a toilet (ca. 32 Sqft)
- To the left of the kitchen, a living room over a concrete floor with French doors onto the South-facing back garden and a bread oven, in which a wood burner has recently been installed.
On the 1st floor of the house, over a solid block-and-beam floor, you will find:
- A landing with a Velux window and a “dormer” roof window (ca. 48 Sqft)
- A cloakroom with a toilet (ca. 22 Sqft)
- A master bedroom under the eaves with a Velux window, a dressing room and a partitioned storage room (ca. 96 Sqft)
- A hallway and a second storage room (ca. 54 Sqft)
- Bedroom 2 with a Velux window (ca. 86 Sqft)
- Bedroom 3 with a Velux window located above the bread oven (ca. 86 Sqft)
You take advantage of three outbuildings:
- A cellar (ca. 107 Sqft), accessible from the rear porch, located under the uitlity room
- A tool shed (formerly a stable) (ca. 70 Sqft) next to the bread oven
- A storage barn (ca. 178 Sqft)
The house is connected to an accessible septic tank; however, the latter must be brought up to regulations.
Heating is produced by a wood range cooker in the kitchen, a recent wood burner in the living room and additional electric radiators.
Hot water is electrically produced and stored in a 150-litre tank.
Fiber will shortly be installed in the street and the house will be connectible.
The roofs of the house and outbuildings are made of mechanical terracotta tiles with a cement fiber ridge.
The Garden
Pretty South-facing enclosed and landscaped land on a slight slope of ca. 1/5 acre with a shaded terrace and a chicken coop. And of course, the views from the house are what everyone will want to come see for themselves! You can see a meadow at the bottom of the valley, the river shaded by the surrounding woodland is right behind. The water is clear and great for swimming. You will be there in only 2 minutes! Three separate wooded plots are also part of the property, totalling an area of almost 2 1/3 acres.
Acces and amenities
The house is in the hamlet. So, there are neighbours. On one side of the house, it is the barn of a holiday house and opposite, another house used as a second home.
The house is located around ten minutes from the all-amenity towns of Bénévent-l'Abbaye and Fursac, around 25 minutes from the town of La Souterraine, along the A-road 145 and around thirty minutes from the A20 motorway. Limoges is 45 minutes away in the car, as is Guéret.
