Description

A45182TEL86 - Don’t miss this full of character and potential 1+ BDR 1 bath home with a garden and a garage, located in a historic setting just steps from Vienne River and the old stone Porte sur la Vienne, within the fortification of the old Chateau Bellevue in Availles Limouzine.
The front door opens to the staircase that takes you to the first floor, where you will find a cozy living room open to a kitchen with a dining area, and a separate toilet. The spacious bedroom and the bathroom are conveniently located on the ground floor.
In the living room on the first floor, with its exposed wooden beams, authentic wall cabinet and romantic original stone fireplace, bathed with light coming through the window, you will find comfort and a view of your garden across the street. The traditional kitchen and dining areas complete the picture and contribute to the overall atmosphere of relaxation and back in time tranquility. From the living room, a door opens to a wooden staircase that leads to the spacious attic, with exposed wooden high beams, sky lights and original timber floor. The attic can be transformed with a small renovation into a large second bedroom with a bath, or into a studio.
Conveniently located on the ground floor, the spacious bedroom with a sitting area and the bathroom provide easy access and cool conditions during the summer.
The house retains many original features, including exposed beams, wooden staircase, original doors, and wooden floorboards. On mains drains. It is heated with electrical radiators and a wood burner.
Just across the cobble street, steps from the house’s front door is a large stone garage offering plenty of space for your vehicle, plus additional space for storage or a workshop. An original wooden door opens from the garage to your private secluded garden arranged with flowers, bushes and trees.
The property is an excellent vacation home, compact, perfect lock up and go, with an easy to maintain garden. It will benefit from some refreshment, and it offers great potential and with very little renovation it can be further transformed to meet all your needs as a comfortable vacation property, a gite or a small permanent home. It is unique with a remarkable location on the cobble street between the stone arches of the fortification of the old Chateau Bellevue, surrounded by historic houses dating back to 14-16th century in the most popular part of the riverside village Availles Limousine.
The historic town of Confolens is only 14 km away, with all amenities, including a hospital, schools, movie theater, banks, covered market, supermarkets and many other shops and services. In addition to the amenities provided in Confolens, the larger towns of St Junien, Limoges, Bellac and a host of other market towns are within a less than an hour. Limoges airport is a 45-minute drive away (55 km), Angouleme is 67 km and Poitiers is 72 km away, with TGV to Paris. Rare on the market.

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.
