Description

A36034JET23 - Built in around 1880, this property has been a farmhouse, a holiday home and an investment rental property. There is untapped potential in the 31m x 14m adjoining barn. The house is set in the beautiful green Creuse on a large mostly-enclosed plot with no near neighbours, apart from an owl.

On the ground floor, via an entrance hall, the open plan sitting dining area is to the left, and a fitted kitchen/family room with woodburner is to the right. There is also a downstairs toilet and utility room. The huge barn can be accessed from the kitchen.

On the first floor there is a spacious landing, 4 bedrooms and a large bathroom with separate shower. There are a further two en-suite showers. The house boasts a total of 6 toilets, 4 on this level (three en-suite), one on the ground floor, and one outside, handy when working or sitting outside. This makes the property particularly suitable as a chambre d’hôte.

The insulated loft is accessed from the landing via a door and staircase.

There are wooden floors throughout most of the property, and the decor is fresh and neutral.

The house is heated with electric radiators and the woodburner. There is double glazing throughout and insulation. The DPE rating is D. The individual drainage system functions but does not conform.

To the front of the house is a gravelled area with a well. There is a grassy ramp to the hayloft level of the barn, with sectioned animal pens and troughs running the full length of the level below. The impressive beams traversing the roof are each 14m single lengths of oak. There is a south-facing terrace to the rear with a lock-up shelter and outside toilet. The vaulted cellar is accessed via exterior stone steps. The 6000m plot is flat and set mostly to grass with some majestic old trees.

There is a tiny country lane to the front of the house and beyond that a pond with frogs and reeds, maintained by the mairie. The church spire of Cressat can be seen in the distance.

If you are looking for a spacious and light country property with fresh decor, and with no immediate neighbours, then please get in touch to arrange a viewing.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
