Tastefully converted stone barn located amidst its grounds of just under 2 acres (6.829m²), in a hamlet on the heights of a small village with amenities within the Limousin Millevaches Regional Park, about a 40-minute drive southeast of Limoges.
Entirely converted in the early 2000’s from a farm building and completed in 2024, this beautiful barn is a rather rare find in our region, due to the size of its living space and the quality of the renovation work carried out.
A charming and logical layout
You enter the house through French doors housed in the middle of a huge bay window, which was originally the old barn door, into the warm open-plan living room, all in beams and exposed stone walls beautifully pointed, where you can still see, to the left of the entrance, the old cowshed detailing, historical witnesses of the building’s agricultural past. A solid wood staircase, with storage under it, climbs along the walls to the mezzanine located on the 1st floor. A study with an interior window is used as a storage room, as one of the 4 bedrooms upstairs has been converted into a study by the owners. To the left of the living room, the spacious living room with a powerful wood burner in the fireplace, has French doors and a large bay window out onto the terrace, the dominant view and the southwest-facing garden. A door provides direct access to the fitted kitchen, which also benefits from French doors onto the terrace. As an extension of this room, the utility room has worktops, under which the household appliances are installed and a deep sink, practical for maintenance tasks. An exterior double-glazed door provides access to the car park and the storage outbuilding, on the north side. Finally, a tiled shower room with WC rounds up the layout on the ground floor.
On the 1st floor, the mezzanine runs along the edge of the living room and provides access to a spacious bathroom with Velux and a delightfully vintage look, fitted with a large shower cubicle, a pedestal washbasin and a family rolltop bath with its "lion's paw" feet, reminiscent of the cast iron bathtubs of yesteryear. Also from the mezzanine, you enter a 1st bedroom with Velux. Then, a passageway leads to 2 bedrooms and finally to the master bedroom on the south gable and which benefits from the most beautiful view of the house thanks to its large sliding bay windows. A private ensuite bathroom with a polished concrete walk-in shower, toilet, and skylight lends undeniable character to this suite.
The house is fitted with recent aluminium and wood joinery, programmable radiators, a stove, high-performance insulation, and a septic tank that meets current standards. All you have to do is move in and start enjoying this high-quality property.
A large, private garden with terraces and an outbuilding
The house is located on the northern edge of its land, on the edge of a tucked-away hamlet, along a quiet communal road. A tall aluminium gate opens onto a private, gravelled terrace, providing access to the main entrance. A large lime tree brings in welcome shade in summer while enjoying the beautiful view. On the north side of the house, a closed stone shed gives useful storage for tools and garden furniture. A large, flat private parking area is ideal for comfortably parking several vehicles. Just below it, a wooden chicken coop with a run will provide you with fresh eggs all year round. The large terrace along the south gable, directly accessible from the living room and kitchen, is a real asset, allowing you to eat al fresco with family or friends. Why not one day install a veranda there to enjoy the enchanting setting all year round?
The rest of the garden slopes gently towards the large tree hedge surrounding the entire southern part of the property and separates you from the neighbours. A self-irrigated vegetable garden with a polytunnel ensures vegetables are grown with fewer constraints than usual!
Access and amenities
The property is located less than 5 minutes from the centre of the village of La Croisille-sur-Briance and its amenities (bar, restaurant, bakery, chemist’s, community café, mini-market, garage, etc.). A larger village with a swimming lake is less than 15 minutes away.
