Limousin, Haute-Vienne, France

A47563SSG87 - This beautiful traditional French farmhouse-style property is situated in a quiet hamlet, just a 5-minute drive from the village of Bussière-Poitevine, where you will find a good range of local amenities including a well-stocked shop, butcher, bakery, bank, post office, restaurants, doctor and pharmacy. The larger town of Le Dorat is approximately 10 minutes away.

The property is semi-detached but enjoys a very private position. Situated on the edge of the hamlet, the house benefits from lovely views over the surrounding Limousin countryside and is also close to the River Gartempe, renowned for its excellent fishing and offering beautiful walks and opportunities to enjoy the surrounding nature.

The wooden front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway, leading to the traditional kitchen/diner. This charming room has plenty of space for dining and features a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

From the kitchen, you enter a large back kitchen/utility room with ample cupboard space and room for additional appliances. This leads through to a useful cellar, ideal for storage, with access to the rear courtyard.

On the other side of the entrance hallway is the bright and comfortable lounge, which also benefits from a wood-burning stove, making it a cosy and relaxing room during the winter months.

The entrance hallway also provides access to the rear courtyard and a practical downstairs shower room with WC.

A beautiful wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three large and tastefully decorated bedrooms. All three bedrooms benefit from exceptional views across the surrounding Limousin countryside.

There is also a lovely shower room with WC on this floor, together with additional storage space.

The property has an attic which could be boarded out to provide useful additional storage or potentially converted into further living space, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions.

The house has been very well maintained and is in excellent condition. It is double glazed throughout and connected to mains drainage. The roof appears to be in good condition, and the property has clearly been well cared for by the current owners. The tasteful decoration and furnishings give the house a warm, comfortable and welcoming feel.

Outside, the property really comes into its own. The large garden surrounds the front and side of the house and contains a number of mature trees, including fruit trees.

To the front of the house is a large patio area, providing a wonderful place to enjoy a morning coffee or a cool drink on a summer evening while taking in the lovely views over the garden and surrounding countryside. The patio is ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, making the most of the peaceful setting and beautiful views.

To the rear of the property is a small courtyard giving access to the outbuildings, including an old traditional bread oven, adding further character to the property.  

There is also an adjoining parcel of land which is currently a blank canvas and could be used in a variety of ways.

At the front of the property is a driveway leading to a modern double garage, providing excellent parking and additional storage.

This is a charming and beautifully presented character property which combines traditional French features with comfortable, well-maintained accommodation. Its peaceful position, countryside views and proximity to the River Gartempe make it an ideal permanent home, holiday home or countryside retreat, while the nearby village and larger town provide easy access to everyday amenities.
