The main area of the house is an eleven meter long room which is the Kitchen, Dining Room and Living Room all knocked into one enormous space. It has beams throughout along with two giant fireplaces. An internal porch surrounds the front door. Real oak double glazing is throughout the living floor of the house.

Bathroom: 4.94m²
Toilet: 2.09m²
Utility area: 4m²

Porch: 3.15m²

The Cellers:
The cellars include original oak animal troughs and are particularly rustic. No work has been done on these areas and they are currently used as a chicken area and a workshop. These rooms have masses of potential for another living area or alternatively could be left as they are for working or storage space. There is also a hidden room, on the same level as the cellars which is completely stand-alone. The plan of the original owner was to have a small, self-contained gite in there which never came to fruition. The room has no internal access from the house but is accessed via an external door. A spiral staircase could easily be fitted to connect this room internally if necessary. It contains a particularly impressive fireplace.

The Underground Cellars
These take up about half of the main house size and are accessed via a foot ramp from within the cellar or a trapdoor in the workshop cellar. There are two rooms which are actually underground. One, we believe, was originally used for wine storage and the other may have been a piggery.

The Attic
The attic is possibly the most impressive feature of the house. It is the size of the entire house but approximately 10m high with cathedral-like wooden artistry holding the entire structure together. The attic, with the correct planning and execution, could be turned into a dream-like area. It has to be seen to be believed!

The Gardens
The gardens are around half an acre and have been lovingly nurtured from a tangled mess into a garden to be proud of. Flower filled borders have been carefully cut out; a vegetable patch has been crafted in the perfect spot; an old ruin has been left to overgrow for a nature spot; all surrounded by a small, fast running, stream which constantly fills the air with the sound of running water. The garden has many fantastic spots to sit and take in the natural beauty surrounding you.

The Surroundings
The small village of St Oradoux de Chirouze is part of the commune by the same name which embraces a number of small villages. This is spread over maybe 100 square kilometres. This leads to a very friendly close-knit commune that has annual New Year dinners and a summer fete. The house is 1km from a 64 hectare carp lake. The lake is extremely beautiful and has a small beach where a number of people go and relax in the summer. There is a local restaurant opposite the lake if you fancy some traditional French cuisine! The house is at approximately 800m altitude and is around 45 minute drive from skiing at Mont Dore.

Nearby primary & secondary school. Bus provided.

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.
