House in Saint-Étienne-de-Fursac , Creuse , Limousin

Steps lead up from the garden to the front door. On this level there is an entrance hall, serving a spacious, fully fitted kitchen (12.5m2), a downstairs bedroom (10.7m2) and on the other side, an open plan, lounge/dining room (42m2). All the rooms are bright and give a feeling of space, thanks to the large windows and high ceilings. The lounge/diner, entrance hall and bedroom have wooden floors. There’s also a separate WC.

A light filled staircase sweeps up to the next floor landing, where there are two more bedrooms (10m2 and 14m2 ), both with ensuite bathrooms ( 3m2). The rooms are of good size and the ensuites are fitted with shower cubicles, hand basins and wcs. They also both have velux windows. Another door from the landing gives access to an insulated attic, which makes good storage space.


The basement consists of a large room with another bathroom (11m2), a large boiler room, which could also be a utility room (17m2) and a large garage (11m2). There is a separate access from the garden, so the space could be converted into accommodation, if required.

Exterior:

There’s a gravelled driveway in front of the garage, which extends around the side of the house to create a small side garden. At the rear there is a gravelled terrace area and then a lawn sweeps all the way around the rest of the property and slightly downhill, towards the river. The garden is fully enclosed, and overlooks the river and the village beyond.
