House in ST YRIEIX LA PERCHE , Haute Vienne , Limousin

A unique feature is the detached chapel, a super little building full of character, with its original wooden wall panelling still in place.

The ground floor of the beautifully renovated, family sized house is tiled with Italian tiles and has an abundance of original ceiling beams, retaining its original character. The house also benefits from oil-fired central heating and double glazing throughout.

The kitchen, 17m2, is double aspect and is fully fitted with quality units and includes integral fridge, dishwasher, fitted hob and eye level oven, along with a breakfast bar.

The dining room, 19.5m2, is also double aspect and has a door leading to the rear garden.

The large sitting room , 37m2, also double aspect, has a very attractive, large fireplace with woodburning stove.

Off the kitchen is a room, 19.5m2, which could be used for many different purposes, for example a downstairs bedroom, an office or a games room.

Off this room is the utility room which houses the oil-fired boiler, a WC and has plumbing and electrics for a washing machine. This room could be altered to offer an ensuite shower room if required.

A door leads from the kitchen area to the cellar, 16m2. This useful storage area has a concrete floor and has been fully insulated.

Stairs lead from the dining room to the very spacious first floor landing, off which are the family bathroom and the three double bedrooms, all with fantastic views of the rear garden and across the land to the lake.

The floors on the first floor are original wooden floorboards, in very good condition, and there are exposed beams in every room. All doors are rustic style, hand-made.

Outside:

The exterior of this property is as well maintained as the interior.

There is a large stone-paved patio/terrace with steps leading down to the garden, laid mainly to lawn with flowerbeds, a vegetable plot, a chicken run and a large timber shed.

There is a good sized gravelled area at the front, offering parking for several cars, and a gravelled drive to the side of the house, leading to a further parking area at the rear. From here, double gates lead to the private lane, and on to the rest of the land and the lake, stocked with large carp.

The land is flat and well fenced and over a hectare of this would be suitable for a paddock for a horse or other animals, but could also be planted up for more vegetables or an orchard.

The property is less than 5km from the centre of St Yrieix La Perche, a thriving town with all amenities including secondary school, supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants, banks, post office, a modern hospital with A&E facilities, cinema, theatre, art galleries, museum and a medieval quarter including 12th century church. There is a very popular traditional market held on alternate Fridays.

Limoges airport is only 50km away and the station at St Yrieix has good rail links to Limoges and from there to the mainlines, eg to Paris
