| | Alison Appleyard, Independent Agent, says: | This is a lovely, traditional, beautifully restored house just a few miles outside the pretty village of Lussac Les Eglises in the Haute Vienne.
There's a wonderful, large fitted kitchen and spacious lounge, both with woodburning stoves; downstairs bathroom, utility room that could also be used as an office or 3rd bedroom - or a useful area for accommodating a disabled or elderly person. The back door is in line with the back room entrance, making easy access for a wheelchair. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, shower room with WC, and large attic that could be converted to provide two or three more bedrooms if required.
There's a large barn ripe for conversion, currently used as a workshop, and two small outhouses that were used for keeping goats and poultry. The very pretty garden has been well tended and provides an ideal spot for a swimming pool.
All in all, a lovely, tranquil spot to live in, either permanently or for holidays. | The kitchen is an excellent size - all newly fitted granite topped units, and with traditional beams and tiled floor. There's plenty of light from the windows facing front and back, and well placed lighting.
The large sitting room has a lovely granite fireplace, beams and tomette tiled floor. There's a modern bathroom and utility room adjacent that could also be used as an office, or as a 3rd bedroom. This could be the ideal situation for a bedroom with ensuite bathroom for someone disabled or infirm.
Upstairs there are two more bedrooms, also with traditional and original features having been retained. The main bedroom has a lovely high, vaulted ceiling.
There's a shower room with WC and a large attic that could be converted to provide more rooms. This has insulated flooring and has had planning permission for the installation of two velux windows.
The garden has been laid out very well, with a lovely lawn, flower borders, and vegetable garden. There's plenty of room for the installation of a swimming pool.
Attached to the house is a large barn that's currently used as a workshop. This could also be converted and provides many possibilities. Attached to that are two small outhouses that have been used in the past for keeping goats and poultry.
The hamlet is a lovely, tranquil spot with the river Benaize running nearby. Only a few miles drive from Lussac Les Eglises where there's a grocery shop, bakers etc, and only a 15 minute drive from the larger town of Le Dorat. Other nearby villages of interest include Montmorillon, Bellac, La Souterraine, and Le Blanc - all roughly 20 - 30 minutes drive away.
This is a very beautiful, lush area with an abundance of activities available. In particular, horse riding, cycling, and fishing are very well catered for. There are many lovely places to walk and just enjoy the country air and spaciousness.
Conveniently placed only a 50 minute drive to Limoges airport where there are daily flights to a variety of UK destinations.
