Description

A47814SHJ19 - Set in the heart of the medieval town of Meymac, this magnificent property combines historic charm, character and timeless elegance, with spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over several levels.

Behind a wrought-iron gate, two separate entrances provide access to the house, both leading to a light-filled entrance hall.

THE MAIN HOUSE

Ground Floor:
The spacious lounge (39 m²) features beautiful parquet flooring and an impressive fireplace with wood-burning stove, while windows at both ends provide plenty of natural light.

The generous kitchen-dining room (41 m²) is equally bright, with three windows and a stylish contemporary fitted kitchen with breakfast table, plus ample space for dining and entertaining. A rear porch and separate WC complete this level.

First Floor:
A beautiful staircase leads to the 15.2 m² landing, with double doors at either end opening onto balconies – lovely private spaces to enjoy the sunshine.
Bedroom one (19.6 m²) has an en-suite shower room (11.2 m²), while bedroom two (19.7 m²) has its own en-suite (8.6 m²). A separate dressing room (10 m²) and office/additional room (10 m²) provide further flexibility.

Second Floor:
The second landing (6.8 m²) leads to bedroom three (10.8 m²) and bedroom four (11 m²), together with a separate shower room (9.8 m²), independent WC and small attic space.

Lower Ground Floor:
Accessed from the front via electric roller shutters, a tunnel (30 m²) leads to a spacious 75 m² parking area with electric vehicle charging point. This level also houses the oil-fired boiler and tank, electrical distribution board and meter, with space for a washing machine and freezer.

A particularly useful feature is the lift, providing direct access to the ground floor and making everyday tasks such as transporting shopping and laundry between levels considerably easier.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION
Across the courtyard, a second property (160m2) offers excellent flexibility for family, friends or other uses.

It comprises a 38 m² kitchen-dining area with fitted kitchen, electric radiators and two entrances, plus a 7.5 m² shower room. Three bedrooms (16 m², 10 m² and 16 m²) are accessed via two staircases and all have electric radiators.

Attached on the same level is a further 36 m² living space with double doors, ideal for summer entertaining. Upstairs, a 37 m² mezzanine with two skylights provides additional versatile accommodation.

OUTSIDE
The courtyard includes a substantial barn divided into three areas: a 20.6 m² workshop, 32 m² stable and 18 m² additional space. A terrace enjoys views across the rooftops of Meymac and the surrounding countryside.

Gates lead to the 4123 m² garden, with established trees, a pond and several outbuildings. These include a 32 m² double garage and a 23 m² outbuilding providing storage for gardening equipment and a tractor mower. A further gate provides convenient garden access.

At the front, a beautiful south-facing paved terrace with established shrubs provides an attractive space to enjoy the sunshine.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The current owners have completely transformed and regularly maintained the property. The roofs of the outbuildings were re-covered in 2018 and the house and barns in 2023; and the electricity updated the same year. The property has been tastefully decorated throughout.

Heating is by a combination of fuel oil and electric radiators.

A Rare Opportunity
This exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the character of historic Meymac with generous and highly versatile accommodation. Combining a substantial main house, additional accommodation, extensive outbuildings, large garden, terraces, ample parking and the convenience of a lift, it offers considerable space and flexibility.

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.
