Limousin, Corrèze, Ussel, France

A35359SHJ19 - Nestled in a charming hamlet on the outskirts of Ussel, this magnificent manor house, built in 1860, exudes timeless elegance and historic charm.

A wrought iron gate opens to reveal the manor house to your left, its slate roof, large single-glazed windows, and white wooden shutters carefully preserved to honour its heritage. A balustrade guides you from the terrace down into the beautifully maintained gardens.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall welcomes you with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and exquisite period details—polished wooden floors, intricate plaster mouldings, rich wood panelling, and marble fireplaces that echo the grandeur of the past.

To the left, a living room invites relaxation, while to the right, a refined dining room leads seamlessly to a spacious kitchen and dining area, complete with an independent exterior entrance. A cellar beneath the kitchen provides ideal wine storage and houses the home’s boiler. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a convenient shower room and WC.

The first floor offers four generously sized bedrooms, one currently used as an office, alongside a luxurious marble-tiled bathroom. The second floor continues to impress, featuring five additional bedrooms and a playroom, providing ample space for family and guests.

Across the courtyard, an extraordinary converted barn serves as an unparalleled leisure retreat. This stunning space boasts a 15m x 5m swimming pool with a captivating waterfall, a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a steam room, and a well-appointed kitchen and dining area. Expansive double-glazed windows frame breathtaking views of the surrounding parkland, rolling meadows, and distant mountains. The pump house, housing the pool’s mechanical systems, is discreetly tucked away, along with two large fuel tanks and two hot water tanks. Upstairs, a gym, a cozy living area, and two additional bedrooms complete this superb wellness sanctuary.

Retaining its historic charm, the property also features a sun-drenched garden room (orangery), currently used for winter plant storage. A section of the first floor in the converted barn presents an opportunity for conversion into a garage (48m2), while an adjacent 90m² outbuilding offers additional possibilities.

The gardens are truly enchanting, a testament to meticulous care and thoughtful landscaping. Mature trees, vibrant shrubs, and a picturesque courtyard create an atmosphere of serenity. A majestic Sequoia stands as a breath-taking focal point, while beyond the garden’s edge, grazing cows and soaring buzzards enhance the idyllic rural setting.
