House in the Country with two bedrooms and lots of conversion potential.
The accommodation is all located at Ground Floor Level with a large Loft area and cellars under giving the scope to extend if required. Beautiful country views also enhance this property.
The property needs some work.
On entering through the front door there is an internal porch area giving access to the large open plan lounge/dining/fitted kitchen (total 11m x 4.9m). There are two large fireplaces, one with a log burner, exposed beams and wooden floors. From the kitchen there is a lobby area which gives access to the main bedroom (5.8 x 4.3) with fireplace, exposed beams and double aspect windows. From the same lobby access, via staircase is available to the large loft area. This has plenty of scope for conversion with lovely timbers and an interesting "birds nest" timber roof structure.
Returning to the lounge a doorway leads to a room (2.9 x 4.9) which could be used as a third bedroom/study and also gives access to the main bathroom (2.6 x 1.9), separate toilet, utility area and bedroom 2 (2.9 x 4.9).
All windows are oak double glazed. Heating is via electric radiators with the addition of the fireplaces/log burner. Electricity and water are connected , ADSL internet connection is available and drainage is to a fosse septique.
There is under the whole of the house a cellar which is divided into various uses (workshop, old stables and a spare room with a fireplace).
Externally there is a stone outbuilding (3m x 6m). Front entrance gates open to driveway with parking for four cars. The garden is laid mostly to lawn with a vegetable plot, a lovely babbling brook runs along the boundary. There are lovely views along the valley over fields and trees and the house is immediately habitable.
This property lies at the edge of a rural village, providing a quiet escape into french country living whilst not too far away from those all important towns for shopping/stocking up the freezer, etc. local shops are about 10 minutes away whilst larger shops i.e. supermarket etc. are 25 minutes away. This property is also under 1 mile away from a large (64km2) fishing lake with bathing beaches, etc.
The Creuse is probably the least developed of the three Limousin departments. As you drive around the area the breathtaking views over the countryside never cease to amaze as with each hilltop reached another vista is revealed. There are many and varied attractions in the area for all ages from countryside walks to more active pastimes such as watersports, horseriding and adventure parks to name but a few. Discover the delights of the Ancient Churches and Grand Chateau's dotted throughout this region. Also worth a visit is a trip to the Tapestry Museum in Aubusson or the Museum of Electrification in Bourganeuf or the Porcelain Potteries in Limoges. The list of things to do could be endless. On top of all this, spread throughout the area are many bars and restaurants where you can enjoy the local food and drink.
Whilst feeling at one with the countryside among trees and wildlife, the airport at Limoges is only about two hours away whilst the airport at Clermond Ferrand is about 1 hour, with daily flights to several U.K. destinations where London, Liverpool, Southampton and East Midlands airports can be reached in under two and half hours. The TGV links the area with the Eurostar at Lille, the Paris airports and Disneyland.
Location in France
The Creuse is France's hidden department, and forms part of the Limousin region. You have to leave the beaten track to find the many interesting and attractive towns and hamlets dotted around the area.
Guéret is the capital of the department and has around 15,000 inhabitants, which gives you an idea how sparsely populated this department is. The proximity of the town to both the River Creuse and the Lac du Cortille mean that plenty of watersports are available for both holidaymakers and residents alike.
Bourganeuf has less than 3,500 inhabitants yet has a rich and affluent history, as the Knights Templar had their headquarters here for many years. La Souterraine is another popular small town, steeped in history and has drawn much interest from archaeologists over the years thanks to its 13th century crypt.
The Creuse has some diverse landscapes - from the vast plains of the Berry to the North, the hilly landscape of the Auvergne to the east and woodland to the south. The easiest way to access the Creuse from the UK is to fly into Limoges, or catch the TGV from Paris.
Property prices are still very low when compared to other areas of France, and there are definitely still bargains to be found despite the rise in prices over the last few years.
