Property Description: Situated in a very pretty hamlet full of flowers (in fact the owner is a regular winner for the best garden in the area) this fabulous property has been renovated with no expense spared and with very good taste, keeping lots of the original fixtures (exposed beams and stonework, fireplaces, etc.) and yet bringing modern comfort with central heating and three bathrooms. You have to visit it to really appreciate how beautiful it is!
One enters by a pretty hallway decorated with stencils and on the right hand side , the spacious living/dining room (33m2) has a nice fireplace fitted with a wood burner, exposed beams and large french doors opening onto the very attractive secluded garden. The large fitted kitchen with dining area (25m2) is beautiful with very large bay windows over-looking the gorgeous undulating countryside. On the left hand side of the hallway there is a large room (19m2) which is presently used as a library/TV room but it could be a spare bedroom as there is an en-suite with shower and wc (5m2). At the end of the hallway, there is the large utility/boiler room; it is the most elegant utility room I have ever seen! From there you can go into the very large outbuilding (70m2) which is spick and span.
Back to the house, on the first floor on the left hand side of the pretty landing is a large and attractive master bedroom (27m2) with exposed beams and a fireplace (for décor only). From this room there is a beautiful wrought iron spiral staircase leading to a brand new, large bathroom and wc (13m2). On the other side of the landing there are two pretty double bedrooms (13 and 12m2) and another new bathroom and wc (5m2), which is almost entirely tiled.
In the loft there is “The Den”; a studio/office which is very spacious (20m2 approx) and beautifully done. The only snag is a low beam right in the middle but then, hey ho, it holds the house together and you can learn to duck!!
The house benefits of a superb cellar (with exterior access) and the garden around the house (approx 2,500m2) is full of flowers, fruit trees and has lovely views at the back.
This stunning property is just 10 minutes from the motorway and the pretty medieval town of La Souterraine, and 35 minutes from Limoges. One of the best renovations I have seen for a long time and certainly worth a look!
