Property Description

Superb, Restored 5-Bed "Maison Bourgeoise" with a Separate 2-Bed Gite, a Heated below Ground Swimming Pool and 3.5 Hectares of Land - 87

This "Maison Bourgeoise" is truly impressive having been restored at huge expense by the present owners to its original style, quality and "glory" - this property has to be seen to be fully appreciated. It has also been brought fully up-to-date with three totally re-equipped bathrooms and other facilities. It is set in an incredibly tranquil location approximately mid-way between the charming towns of Le Dorat and Bellac in the Haute Vienne. The house, with its superb south facing "sit out and truly enjoy" 44m2 balcony affording fantastic views over the Gartempe river valley, provides about 280m2 of habitable accommodation on three floors plus an expansive multi-room basement area below. It has a fantastic feeling of grace and charm with very light and airy rooms, most of which have got beautiful and original oak parquet flooring. The house could serve equally well as a welcoming large and pleasing family home (as used at present), or as an upmarket "bespoke" Chambre d'Hôte supported by a recently constructed Gite within the former Coach House - a great business opportunity. The Gite has two bedrooms (72m2 habitable) and is 100% ready to go. The house and Gite are surrounded by about 1.5 hectares of landscaped gardens mainly laid to lawn with some attractive wooded areas plus there is a superb, below-ground, 10m x 5m heated swimming pool. There is a second road entrance to the property (the former carriageway) which provides access to the Gite without upsetting the privacy of the main residence. To complete the picture, there are adjoining paddocks of 1.9 hectares (which are post and railed fenced) perfect for horses and equestrian enthusiasts, including 130m of river frontage, bordering the river Gartempe, perfect for fishermen. If a total of 3.5 hectares of land is too much for you, the property can equally be bought with its attached gardens only - 1.6 hectares overall (about 4 acres). Both the main house and the Gite have recently been fitted with up-to-date and fully conforming wastewater management facilities.
