Situated in Crozant in the Limousin, on the banks of the river Sedelle, in the Valley of the Painters is a recently fully refurbished and extended 19th century watermill over three floors.
What is different here, is that the main mill house has an interior which is wonderfully high tech and modern for ultra-comfortable living, yet somehow keeping its quaint charm and character.
The entrance porch, although it is a new addition, blends in completely with the existing building and still retains the character and style of the original property. You actually enter the new porch via the original hardwood front door on to a natural stone floor with underfloor heating (as there is throughout the property). Also the porch benefits from floor to ceiling bespoke cupboards and a cloakroom.
The ground floor living area offers a wonderful open plan living/kitchen/dining room with woodburner. The bespoke kitchen has Miele integrated appliances throughout. The lower ground floor, which is accessed via the bespoke spiral staircase (from which you can access all the floors) offers a large living room (currently used as a cinema room), a guest bedroom and shower room, giving any guests complete self-sufficiency. In addition there is a utility /plant room and access to the cellar.
The first floor offers a small library area, the principle bedroom, including ample floor to ceiling built in wardrobe space and with an en suite bathroom.
The underfloor heating is controllable in every room both manually and by an app. In addition a water source heat pump (extracting heat from the mill stream) drives both the underfloor heating and hot water, thus vastly reducing your heating bills, quite unique and super sustainable.
The mill has high quality aluminium double glazed windows, with integrated insect nets and has a recently fitted micro sewage system, producing 99% clean water.
Every detail has been delivered within this renovation!
The separate cottage offers a large living/kitchen/dining room which can also be used as a bedroom plus a further bedroom and shower room. Heated via a pellet stove.
There are doors leading to its own perfect raised veranda with river views. This currently produces an income on a holiday let basis (a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration).The cottage also includes a separate garage and office/work room.
The gardens sweep along the river, with stream inlets running under small bridges throughout the grounds, different terrace areas provide outdoor dining space and there are many tranquil areas to sit and take in the incredible river and location.
The area is surrounded by high trees giving not only
a sense of forest living but also privacy.
Local shops and facilities are within 12 minutes, main train station to Paris is 28 minutes away and Limoges Airport is an hours drive.
Other DPE is available on request.
