La Maison Blanche

Decorated with good taste, this house has the ideal balance between privacy and seclusion, without being cut off from the world.

It's accessed from the large village green, by a drive, between two of the 17th century stone barns, one on each side belonging with the property.

Once in front of the house you are struck by what a pretty outlook it has, not overlooked, and with views over neighbouring pastureland to distant woodland. The gardens have many beautiful plantings, with roses of different varieties both in the gardens, and growing on the facade, so opening a bedroom window in summertime allows the fragrance of yellow roses to fill the room....lovely!

The house was built in the latter part of the last century in the end part of a very large 17th century stone barn.

The house itself has a salon, with fireplace, and a staircase up to the three bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor.

The kitchen is about 18m², and has been well fitted with slate used for worktops and backs. Off the kitchen is a storage pantry, a vestibule and a bathroom/wc.

The salon has a woodburning fireplace and is 6.40m by 5m, or 34m².

All windows are double glazed, the house is very well insulated and there is individual electic zone heating for the different parts of the house.

There's plenty of scope for further development in the two stone barns, one of which would make a nice cottage as it has direct access to the gardens....in fact it was originally just this....so has windows and doors with masoned stone surrounds.

The garage, a more modern building, is actually big enough for several cars, or could be the basis for a garden studio/workshop.

The land totals 8295 m²

Only 20 minutes from Limoges and its airport at Bellegarde, the nearest shops are 3km in a well serviced village.

The price is fully inclusive of notarial fees and tax.
