This former farm is located along a dead-end road shared between two houses at the edge of a small hamlet, away from main roads, in the south of the county of Haute-Vienne. It benefits from several buildings, including a stone dwelling house from the 1920’s with a rendered facade, an old 19th century cottage with a bread oven, 3 barns, a water well from a spring and nearly 2 acres of flat useable land. A very beautiful place to set up a space for both living and working, whether in crafts or agrotourism for example. Come view it and you will be charmed!
   
The habitable house
It is located in front of its private tarmacked courtyard, and its front facade faces South. The two dormer windows in the attic give the building its character. You enter directly into the ca. 13’9” x 15’ rustic-looking kitchen with a fireplace and wood range cooker connected to the chimney (with no flue nor lining). To the right of the kitchen, a 10’8” x 15’ living room raised over a cellar that has a wooden floor with Lino over it. Behind the kitchen, two North-facing bedrooms over the cellar below (12’3” x 14’6” and 11’6” x 12’3”). One of them has a fireplace, but the chimney breast is used by the smoke pipe from the oil-fired central heating. These wooden floors have damaged beams, so you would need to change them.

A former adjoining outbuilding was converted in the early 1990’s and an access door was created into the kitchen of the house. This extension, with a total surface area of 6’7” x 14’4”, consists of a utility area with fridge, dishwasher and washing machine, a bathroom with shower cubicle, bidet, and sink, and finally a Separate toilet.
   
On the first floor, a 10’8” x 14’6” bedroom was created in the attic, of which ca. 485sqft can still be converted into a living space in addition to the existing livable area.
   
The house's "L" shaped basement is accessible via a door from the kitchen, but also via an external door and staircase. There is a vegetable cellar, then a boiler room area with the tank and the oil boiler, as well as the electric hot water tank. 
  
The major update of the house was carried out from 1990 until the beginning of the 2000’s, with the extension, the septic tank, the replacement of all the windows on the ground floor in PVC double glazing with wall remote-controlled electric roller shutters, fitting of the oil boiler, then of the hot water tank. The house is supplied with free water from the well located in the courtyard and fed by an underground spring. A pump and a storage tank are located in the cellar. Of course, there is also the public water supply. The roof of the house and the extension, which is around thirty years old, is made of cement-fibre slates which do not require replacement. The septic tank must be brought up to regulations.
  
The old cottage
It is located along the public cul-de-sac, behind the main house. Apart from the shutters which were changed a few years ago, and the more recent tiled roof, the house is in its original state. Which is a good thing, because it has retained its stone pebble floor, which can be so pretty when it is renovated. The cottage is made up of a single ground-floor room of ca. 15’2” x 20’ with a “walk-in” fireplace, those inside which you could sit to warm up. This space includes a bread oven that is still there. A staircase runs up to the storage attic above. The building has neither water nor electricity. You must therefore install them if you want to convert it otherwise it will still have the charm of the 19th century!
   
Several outbuildings
Opposite the old house, on the other side of the cul-de-sac, the property has land on which there is an old barn, requiring more significant renovations. Its basic tin roof protects it from more advanced damage, but its rear wall needs to be partly rebuilt. It has a floor space of approximately 24’6” x 39’3”. A pigsty of around 8’2” x 13’1” in better condition is partly attached to it.
   
In addition, two barns are located at a right angle to the main house, along the tarmac courtyard. The first, the older of the two, is closer to the house, and has a flat tile roof which was renovated a few years ago. It is approximately 25’ x 38’ with an open barn on the right-hand side, and two stables on the left-hand side with a hayloft above connected to the barn.
 
The second barn is attached to the first one and must date from the early 1950’s. It has a cement-fibre slate roof, which must date from the same period as that of the house. It has almost 29 ½’ x 42’6” of floor space and, similar to the Auvergne barns, has two separate floors. The ground floor consists of 3 spacious stables with a ceiling height of over 8’2”. The hayloft above is fully open plan. It has its own access via a rear ramp with a large door that is over 10’ wide. A solid oak-planked floor and the large open space available make it possible to consider a conversion (with the required permissions) or allow for a large garage.

The land
The property is divided into two pieces of land separated by the public cul-de-sac. The first piece has a surface area, old barn and pigsty included, of 1/3 acre, is fenced in and bordered on one side by the rear wall of the neighbour's barn. The land has an East-West aspect and there is a small fruit orchard which is productive in season.

The other piece of land has a surface area of 1 ½ acre, including houses, courtyard, and barns. It is also fully fenced-in, but access is temporarily given to the neighbour's sheep in order to maintain the land. A relatively new aluminium gate gives access to the tarmac courtyard mentioned above, allowing all the vehicles you wish to be parked. The land is flat and faces due South in relation to the buildings. There is room for animals, garden, or greenhouses, in the case of a market gardening owner. The view of the surrounding countryside is magnificent (see photo) and the surrounding land consists entirely of pastures. A true haven of peace. A small piece of land is located behind the house bordering the separate garden and a neighbour's outbuilding. There is another neighbour at the end of the cul-de-sac. His house is set back, and his barns screen the property, so there is no overlooking between the two places.

Access and amenities
The farm is at the end of a hamlet, which itself is removed from the main roads and offers sovereign rural calm. However, you are not isolated, even if the use of a motor vehicle is recommended, since you are 10 minutes from the nearest shops and supermarket, between the villages of Saint Germain les Belles and Châteauneuf-la-Forêt, with their swimming lakes, their amenities, and sports infrastructures. Limoges and its southern shopping area is a half-hour drive away, its centre is 35 minutes away and its airport is 45 minutes away.
