Description

A28704LAG87 - Nestled within a verdant expanse in a serene hamlet just minutes from the bustling city of Magnac Laval, this property evokes the charm of a quaint countryside retreat, where leisurely evenings in the garden under the summer sun seem to stretch into eternity, accompanied by the soothing sip of herbal teas.

Ascending the front entrance steps, you enter a spacious living room adorned with a comforting wood fire, offering solace on chilly nights. Bathed in natural light streaming through two expansive windows—one overlooking the communal garden and the other the serene side garden—the living room provides vistas of the gentle agricultural landscape surrounding the hamlet.

A doorway leads to the kitchen, boasting a charming pointed stone wall and a staircase ascending to the attic floor. Here, a meticulously maintained newly insulated roof awaits transformation into two attic bedrooms and a bathroom, with a whimsical round window reminiscent of tales from "The Spiderwick Chronicles" perhaps even concealing a hidden manuscript.

From the kitchen, a door opens onto an outdoor landing, leading to the cottage's expansive garden enveloping three sides of the building, adorned with venerable trees and a neatly tended vegetable plot.

On the opposite side of the house stands a versatile barn/garage with side openings, once likely a stable. Plans drafted by a friend architect propose repurposing the barn into an additional room, a thoughtful gesture the vendor will graciously pass on to the new owner who falls in love with the cottage's allure, envisioning it as their summer haven or a cozy family abode.

Adjacent to the barn/garage, beneath the living room, lies a clean barn space ripe for conversion into a utility room, though best suited for those of shorter stature due to the low ceiling.

While water and electricity currently serve the property, installation of a septic tank and plumbing improvement will be necessary as part of the upgrading process to make the cottage habitable all year round.

A comprehensive energy audit has been completed, enabling you to easily apply for tax rebates on home improvements through the MaPrimeRénov' program. The audit also includes current market quotations for renovation work, providing you with accurate budgeting information.

This beloved cottage has witnessed countless summers of joy and stands poised to bestow its warmth upon those who delight in revitalizing homes and crafting welcoming sanctuaries.

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.
