Chaillac Property Description
This beautiful detached house is situated in a tiny hamlet (with just one holiday home as a neighbour!) close to the village of Chaillac where there are small shops and services including bars and restaurants, as well as a lovely swimming and fishing lake. The small town of St Benoit du Sault with supermarket and more shops and services is around 10 minutes away by car, and the international airport of Limoges with daily flights to numerous UK regional airports is around 45 minutes away by car.
On the ground floor there is a tiled entrance hall and corridor with large storage cupboard leading to a huge tiled living/dining room (50m²) with fireplace and inset wood burning stove, a tiled, fitted kitchen (10.5m²), a bathroom (4m²) and a separate toilet. Also on the ground floor there is a second living dining room (20m²) with another fireplace and inset wood burning stove, and a large store cupboard under the stairs, and also a second fitted kitchen (5m²). This second living and kitchen area can be closed off from the main house as can a corresponding part of the upstairs floor making a 3 bedroom gîte.
Upstairs, there is a large landing area (12m²), 3 bedrooms (7.5, 7.5 and 13.5m² so 2 singles and a double), a shower room (3.5m²) and a separate toilet – these rooms can be closed off and this forms the upstairs of the gîte area. There is a further large landing area (15m²) and 3 further bedrooms (10, 10.5 and 18m²), the 2 smaller of which have built in wardrobes.
Outside there are some huge outbuildings including the old tile works. There is a large workshop/laundry room/summer kitchen (85m²) with a sink and plumbing, a large store room, a huge barn like area that was the old tile works and a small building used as a cool store. There is also a separate brick built double garage.
Attached to the house is land of 14,993m² (almost 1.5 hectares or 3¾ acres) with lovely views over your own lake of around 1,000m² and the surrounding countryside. The land contains 2 natural spring wells, one of which feeds the lake, and in the lake there are a lot of fish – the current owners have had a 16lb carp out of it. The land is split up into lawn and garden with an above ground pool that will stay, an orchard area, a huge veggie plot, areas for the ducks and the chickens and several field/meadow areas.
This is a beautiful property and the setting is simply stunning – a beautiful family home with the potential for a little income if required or plenty of space for friends and family to come and stay – and they will all want to!!
