A bright, practical house dating from the late 1960’s, built on a full stone foundation. It offers a decent sized single-floor living space, a west-facing stone terrace, the potential to convert all or part of the attic, and a large storage basement. Located in a village with full amenities—35 minutes southeast of Limoges—it is surrounded by nature and just 200 yards from a lovely swimming lake. You will feel like you are on holiday all year round!

The house
You enter the house via a north-facing entrance hall. To the left is a utility room that could also serve as a guest bedroom or office. To the right of the entrance, a spacious living room featuring an open fireplace has three sets of French doors opening onto a west-facing corner stone terrace. A central hallway runs the length of the building, leading to a small vestibule, a shower room with toilet and a separate toilet. Next is a brand-new fitted kitchen with built-in cupboards. Finally, there are two good-sized bedrooms, facing east and west respectively.

A staircase leads down to the basement. It is like having a big barn in the middle of the village, but without the hassle of roof maintenance. The layout is as follows: a double garage followed by a central hallway leading to a larder, a second utility room, an earthen-floor wine cellar, and the boiler room, which houses a low-temperature oil-fired central heating boiler (installed in the year 2000) and its connected tank.

A second staircase leads to a vast attic space of over 46’ by 33’ featuring two dormer windows and offering numerous possibilities (additional bedrooms and bathroom, workspace, playroom, etc.).

Renovated
Regarding renovations, the décor has been largely modernized (floors and ceilings), the electrical system has been completely redone, and the kitchen and bathroom are brand new. All exterior joinery—with the exception of the beautiful solid oak front door—has been replaced. The existing heating system is functional and efficient. There is no need to bring a septic tank up to regs here, as the house is fully connected to the mains drainage system.

The garden
The house stands in the middle of its enclosed, tree-filled plot. There is a double gate for parking vehicles in the private driveway or the garage beneath the house, and a pedestrian gate leading to the front entrance above. The grounds include a vegetable garden area, a lawn, and, of course, a terrace for enjoying sunsets and starry nights, all while remaining within the village.

Localisation and amenities
Limoges can be reached in just over half an hour by car or train (the station is less than 10 minutes away). Shops (small businesses, the supermarket, the weekly market) and public facilities (schools, community groups), as well as sports and healthcare services (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, chemist’s, veterinarians, etc.), are all within a maximum five-minute walk.
