A42302ATM36 - Step into a real slice of history with this beautiful villa, complemented by a charming guest cottage and set within a timeless walled garden with attached lands. This is more than a home; it’s an invitation to a lifestyle where elegance, privacy, and possibility mingle to create something truly unique. Whether you seek a serene private retreat, a prestigious guesthouse, or a business venture under one iconic roof, this property delivers on every level.

The Villa conveys character from the first glance. Inside, exquisite oak floors and a majestic central chestnut staircase weave a sense of era-spanning craftsmanship as you ascend through three generous floors.

The ground floor centers around a spacious lounge and dining area where double-aspect light and crown mouldings evoke a refined heritage. Original wood paneling adds warmth and texture, while the kitchen is ideally positioned to open onto an adjoining patio, providing a perfect stage for alfresco dining and seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. Practical comfort is assured with a ground-floor toilet and reliable central heating, making this home ready to live in from day one.

Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find two large bedrooms, each with a small balcony that frames elevated views over the scenic Creuse Valley. A third bedroom has been thoughtfully converted into a spacious bathroom featuring a claw-foot tub and an ornamental fireplace, preserving romance and charm while delivering modern convenience. A second shower room and toilet on this level adds further practicality for family life or guest stays.
The upper floor opens to four rooms that offer flexible potential—easily configured to accommodate an additional bathroom should you wish, especially since the house benefits from mains town sewage and water.
Beneath the main house lies a dry basement that houses the central heating system with a recently replaced boiler, ensuring comfort and reliability year after year.

The guest house
Positioned toward the rear of the property, this embodies a welcoming retreat atmosphere. The ground floor presents an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area anchored by a cozy fireplace that creates essential ambience for gatherings or peaceful evenings. Two bedrooms occupy the upper floor, served by a downstairs bathroom. There is ready potential to expand—whether by converting the attic or by extending into the adjoining outbuildings—subject to planning permission. A vital practical note: the guest house is connected to the mains, removing the need for expensive septic upgrades and streamlining any transformation you may plan.

Outbuildings further enrich the property’s appeal. To the right of the guest house lie two garages and the old coach house, offering excellent space for car enthusiasts or horse owners, with grazing available in the paddock accessible from the walled gardens. The combination of storage, workspace, and pastoral space invites a range of possibilities, from workshop hobbies to equestrian use or a lifestyle that blends rustic charm with modern convenience.

What could you do here? You could run the main house as distinguished guest accommodation while living in the current gite, or expand the gite into the outbuildings to create larger guest suites or a boutique retreat. Glamping in the paddock is another exciting option, subject to planning permission, turning this property into a versatile income stream or a vibrant family retreat. Alternatively, simply relish the current configuration and enjoy expansive space to entertain, host friends and family, and immerse yourself in a home that feels like a private estate.

A short drive brings you to Eguzon and its inviting swimming lake, while Argenton-sur-Creuse offers rail links within easy reach. Limoges airport is about 80 minutes away via the A20, with Tours and Poitiers airports also conveniently accessible.
