Description
A44322MLI87 - Approached via a gated gravel driveway, this outstanding south-facing property overlooking a neighbouring cherry orchard immediately impresses. Built in 2010, it enjoys all the practical benefits of a modern build — excellent insulation, double glazing, and neutral tiled flooring throughout the ground floor — while delivering the warmth, character and charm of a traditional French home.
A Show-stopping Outdoor Entertaining Space
Before you even step inside, the property makes its mark. A magnificent oak-framed structure with a traditional tile roof covers the expansive front terrace, housing a stone and brick-built BBQ on one side and a large pizza oven on the other. Whether hosting summer gatherings or quiet evening dinners, this is an alfresco entertainer's dream.
Breath-taking Open-Plan Living
Step through the front vestibule and into one of the property's most striking features: a 63m² open-plan living, dining and kitchen space that soars into the eaves, revealing beautiful exposed oak beams overhead. Divided naturally into three zones — a sitting area with a wood-burning stove (which also heats the radiators), a dining area, and a rustic farmhouse kitchen — this space enjoys double French doors on both the front and rear elevations. Quality and craftsmanship are evident at every turn.
Flexible Ground Floor Accommodation
A hallway from the kitchen leads to further rooms, offering excellent flexibility. These include a utility room with garden access, a family bathroom with double-ended bath, a double bedroom, and a single bedroom currently used as a laundry room. At the end of the hallway, two further bedrooms each benefit from ensuite shower rooms and French doors to the garden. Both have previously operated successfully as chambres d'hôtes. The layout here makes it simple to section off this wing from the main house offering the possibility to create further lettable guest accommodation using the other 2 bedrooms and family bathroom by providing private guest access via the utility room door.
A Peaceful Master Suite
The handsome wooden staircase from the main living area leads to the master bedroom suite, tucked into the eaves. It features dual-aspect Velux windows in both the bedroom and dressing area, with a shower room and WC beyond — a genuinely private and serene retreat. Also this space could be an ideal family room if let.
Beautiful Private Gardens
The rear garden is well-stocked and private, with a decked seating area beneath a wooden pergola — ideal for relaxing or dining outdoors. A gate leads directly onto a grassy lane for countryside walks. A garden house of 18m² (currently divided into two rooms) offers versatile additional space, and former planning permission has been granted for a swimming pool — making this an ideal location for a future pool and pool house and additional spa facilities.
Income-Generating Gîte
Just beyond the garden house sits a self-contained gîte, converted from part of the original garage. Currently configured with a kitchen-dining room on the lower level and a living room, shower room, and two guest bedrooms above, it represents an immediate and proven income stream. There is also potential to extend into the remaining garage space to create additional downstairs living accommodation (subject to planning consent).
Excellent Location
Coussac Bonneval, with its restaurants, bars, shops and beautiful château, is just 7 minutes away. The larger market town of Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche — with a wider range of amenities and a train station — is 17 minutes by car. Limoges International Airport, with regular flights to the UK and beyond, is just 52km away.
Truly Turnkey
This property is presented in excellent condition throughout, tastefully decorated with a stylish blend of rustic and contemporary. Whether you are looking for a stunning family home, a Franco lifestyle dream, or a ready-to-run hospitality business with room to grow — this is a property that genuinely delivers on all fronts.
