Information
For sale is this beautiful period country property with pool, barns, 2nd house for renovation, gardens, woodland, and meadow near Le Dorat. The main house: originally a farmhouse has 229m²of habitable space and is renovated, but the renovation has not taken away from its period charm. This is a family home and has been so to this family for almost 20 years, their children have now gone, replaced by grandchildren hence the sale at this time. The house holds all their lives and memories as it will for the next lucky people to own it. It has 5 bedrooms (2 on the ground floor), and 3 on the first floor; the largest of these 3 has a cathedral style ceiling and en-suite facilities. On the ground floor you have a good-sized kitchen/dining with a window looking out into the mature gardens and a large living room. The expansive landing on the first floor is a great 2nd sitting area with TV. In total you have 3 bathrooms, 1 on the ground floor, 2 on the first floor. To the front of the house, you have lawn and a natural pond, the outbuildings are attached to the main house with an impressive 76m long frontage, which includes the house for renovation. The main gardens at the back of the property are exceptionally private, mainly laid to lawn with a healthy range of fruit trees including Cherry, Kiwi, Plum, Fig, Gooseberry, Apple, and several grape vines, together with an extensive and productive potager. Within the garden you have a fenced and terraced area with a figure 8 inground swimming pool (10 x 6m) with a pool room, and a stone built Pigeonnier/Dovecote which could easily be converted. The garden flows very well and includes a boules pitch and a large stone-built chess board together with secluded eating/relaxing areas. Not far from the house you have a 1.1Ha field, and a woodland plot which the current owners use to supply all the firewood they need; a marvellous bonus! The nearest villages are Lussac-les-Eglises which has a SPAR supermarket, pharmacy, butcher, and a few bars and restaurants and St Leger Magnazeix: a lively village with a bar, restaurant, post office, newsagent, and garden centre. The nearest towns are Le Dorat (21km) Châteauponsac (24km), La Souterraine (26km) and Bellac (30km).

La Souterraine has direct trains into Paris, making this area very accessible. Limoges Airport is around 1 hours’ drive, Poitiers around 1hour 30 minutes; both having a great variety of flights into the UK and other European destinations. The house benefits from mains electricity and water; drainage is a septic tank. The house is double glazed and has oil fired central heating, and wood burning fires. Broadband is available with fibre being installed this summer. The property is charming and really must be seen to be appreciated. Before the current owners bought it was being used as a Chambre D’hôtes and the layout does mean the house could be very simply split into 2 homes.
