Limousin, Haute-Vienne, St-Sulpice-les-Feuilles, France

Charming and tastefully restored historic manor house, close to the village of Arnac la Poste, and just 11 km from La Souterraine, recently run as a successful bed and breakfast business and also a restaurant.

The character property with 238m2 of living space has been beautifully restored over the last 5 years, keeping loyal to the history and beauty of the building.

The main building comprises of, on the ground floor a sitting room, kitchen, and dining area which leads through to the first self contained apartment with en-suite shower room and kitchenette. This apartment also boasts a beautiful working fireplace, which would require a flue to be fitted. Off the corridor is a boot room which has access to the courtyard and the large vaulted cellar.

The staircase, with its original treads, is housed within the historic tower of the building and leads to the next two floors.

The first floor has a family suite with a sitting room, bedroom, kitchenette, and shower room.

The second apartment has a kitchenette, shower room and beautiful views down to the lake. The corridor then leads to a reading room, off which one finds the final apartment which has a large double bed and a shower room. This room has the scope to also house a sitting room or a kitchenette.

All of the rooms have been tastefully decorated and furnished to emphasise the history and elegance of the building. Most of the furniture is either original or bespoke.

Back to the tower staircase up to a large attic which could potentially be another very large family suite or two apartments.

Outside is a laundry room, which again has the potential to become another apartment or self contained gite. There is also a large barn that has a change of use certificate to be made into habitable space. The plan with this building was to create a space to hold events.

There is also a house that requires complete renovation and a further building, previously the piggery and stables, that would require a change of use to be applied for.

The grounds of over 7 acres are made up of meadow, woodland and a lake.

The current owners have used the woodland to host weddings in the past and there is also an outside bar area with electricity and water.

In summary this is an elegant historical building which you could move into and start earning money from straight away. It also provides the opportunity to grow further into a larger thriving business, or alternatively a unique family home.

There is a lot of history that goes along with this building, and the owner would be happy to share this with the new custodian.
