It is located on the edge of a village in the southern Haute-Vienne region, close to a train station. A practical outbuilding/garage adds value to the property, as well as a lovely west/southwest-facing plot of land with a spring of over ½ acre. Perfect for a family looking for an authentic, economical, and comfortable country home. Come visit and discover all it has to offer.It ticks a lot of boxesA rare blend, this house combines the charm and authenticity of a stone house with undeniable comfort and good energy efficiency. Its layout is simple, practical, and modern, with an entrance/office area on the ground floor. To its left, a double aspect living room with a built-in fireplace. To the right of the living room, a door connects to the fitted kitchen, including a built-in aluminium pocket door that slides to lead out to the garden via a porch on the west facade. From the kitchen, you can return to the entrance but also walk along a hallway with built-in cupboards and a cloakroom. At the hallway’s end, an opening has been created towards the adjoining barn to install a utility/boiler room. This houses a large thermodynamic water tank, main electrical panel, washing machine, tumble dryer and several fridges. A concrete block partition separates this space from the rest of the barn, where you’ll find the garage and a woodshed located in a former stable. Above the woodshed, a similar sized storage platform provides a practical additional space.
On the first floor of the house, the sleeping area consists of a central landing, two bedrooms on the east side (front facade), a third bedroom and a spacious family bathroom with a WC.
A stairwell leads up to the convertible attic space above, featuring a real window on each gable. Part of the insulation is visible, as it is installed on the attic floor. The other part is lain between the floor joists.
The house has undergone a complete renovation, including a new block-and-bean floor, plumbing, sanitary fittings, electrical installation, wall, attic, and window/door insulations, ventilation and decoration, heating, and hot water. Another significant advantage is that the house is connected to the town's public mains drainage system.A large, wooded garden with water supplyIn front of the house, there is a small terrace and private parking in front of the garage. The house is fenced with a double gate for vehicles and a single gate for pedestrians. At the rear, it feels like two houses, as the facade is made of exposed pointed local basalt stone, while the front is rendered and lined with corner granite stones. The land adjacent to the house is flat, and a terrace with a veranda could be created, allowing for outdoor dining in all seasons and expanding the directly adjoining kitchen. The plot of land of over ½ acre extends mainly southward, behind the neighbour's second home’s garden. There is a vegetable garden with a garden shed, and a small stream runs through the lower garden, connecting it to a chicken run at the far end of the garden. There is also a second double gate along a rural dirt road on the southern edge of the garden. There are a few fir trees on the grounds, as well as numerous ornamental trees. Everything here is well laid out and organized.Convenient access to the outdoorsIt's not very attractive to be in the countryside and at the same time be cut off from the outside world. Here, you're in a much more advantageous location, as the house is less than 10 minutes by car from the A20 motorway junction, with access to Limoges in just 30 minutes and Brive-la-Gaillarde in 40 minutes. You are also just a stone's throw from the La Porcherie train station, so you can work or wander around town without having to take the car! Less stress, more savings... The neighbouring villages of La Croisille-sur-Briance, Saint-Germain-les-Belles, Masseret and Magnac-Bourg have the amenities you need on a daily basis, less than a quarter of an hour away. The small town of Uzerche, with all amenities, is just over a quarter of an hour away, by car or train... There you have it, that says it all. All that's left is for you to discover your future place!
