Alison Appleyard, Independent Agent, says: | This fine house used to be owned by the notaires to the King of France, with parts dating from 1635. It is set in a sunny position, high on the original ramparts of Chateauponsac, with panoramic views over the Gartempe valley.
The house has been used for residential patchwork and quilting courses and is ideal for continuing a similar business/Chambre d'Hote/language school/retreat etc.
It is in excellent decorative order throughout, with extensive secondary double glazing and oil fired central heating. It comprises of sitting room, dining room, kitchen, cellar/larder, breakfast room, utility room, office, 9 bedrooms (some with ensuite or wash hand basin facilities, 'students' shower rooms, studio/classroom, attic for further conversion if desired, wine cellar, 2 storey stone outbuilding suitable for garage/workshop with upstairs suitable for conversion into accommodation for granny flat, well stocked terraced garden, working well, 2 garden sheds and one greenhouse.
The large village of Chateauponsac has all necessary amenities and is approximately 30 miles from Limoges airport where there are daily flights to a variety of UK destinations; 6 miles from the A20 autoroute from Paris to Toulouse.
| On the ground floor we have an entrance hall (12m2) with doors leading to the dining room, kitchen and office. The office (7m2) has a large built in cupboard and 12 power points including designated circuit for computers. The kitchen (18m2) has a tiled floor, is fully fitted and includes a very deep built in cupboard. Dishwasher and large gas cooked (bottled gas) to be included in the sale. There's also a cellar/larder with ample shelving and meat safe leading to the coal cellar and boiler room housing a Viessmann central heating boiler with 3000l tanks. The door leading to the dining room is an interesting feature being the original front door to the house dated 1635.
The dining room (33m) is part tiled and part solid wood flooring with the original stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove. French windows lead to the garden. One open arch and one arch with double glass doors leads to the sitting room (38m2), with solid wood flooring, and which is a beautiful, light airy room facing south east with panoramic views over the Gartempe valley.
From the kitchen we have access to the Breakfast room (14m2) which can also serve as a convenient sitting room, with corridor leading to the utility room, WC, storeroom and workroom/classroom/studio of 22m2 which is very light and purposely designed for creative work although it also has excellent artificial lighting if necessary. It has 2 very large Velux windows plus one window looking on to the garden.
On the first floor we have a master bedroom of 20m2 with French windows looking over the valley, and ensuite shower room; bedroom 2 with shower cubicle and wash hand basin; bedroom 3 with large built-in cupboard, wash hand basin and bidet; bedroom 4 with wash hand basin; 2 further bedrooms, shower room containg 2 shower cubicles and wash hand basin; and WC.
On the second floor we have one bedroom of 22m2 with ensuite shower room, another bedroom of 14m2 with ensuite shozer room, a 9th bedroom/study of 25m2 which has been cleverly converted from one of the attics; and a box room of 6m2. This leads to the large attic which runs from the front to the back of the house and which could be converted to provide a further bedroom and ensuite bathroom.
