Limousin, Haute-Vienne, Nieul, France

This is a super cute detached house with a small garden within walking distance to the center of Nieul and its fantastic medieval castle. Limoges is only a 10 minute ride away but you are still in the countryside.

Situated on a quiet road with detached villas overlooking a small creek and the village. Two large bedrooms and one small room with pretty views, a large living / dining room downstairs and a kitchen. Downstairs WC. Underneath, a garage and a wine cellar. Central heating with oil. Very light and airy, built sometime in the 40’ties or 50’ties

The house appears in good condition and has been well kept. It will mainly need an upgrade of the heating system, double glazing to make it more energy efficient and modernisation to your tastes.

At street level you have the single garage and the cellar which have a ceiling height of about 1.9m. Outside steps take you up to the front door.

As you enter the hallway, there is a staircase to your left and the main living / dining room on the right. This light and spacious room cuts across the house and has French doors at both ends – one opens onto a front balcony and the other out onto a back terrace, leading to the garden. The separate kitchen is at the back of the house with its own door opening towards the garden (about 500m2). The wall between the kitchen and the living room could be taken out to open the space into a more modern configuration.

Upstairs is a spacious landing and three bedrooms. There is a bathroom with a shower over a bath here. The two front bedrooms overlook the creek and the road in front, and a large back bedroom overlooks the garden.

The works required here are mainly cosmetic, but the house is really in good order for its age. The heating system does need to be modernised to something more cost efficient.

There is a small piece of land just across the road that drops down to the creek.

Parking on the road side.

This house would work well as a holiday home or as a family home. It would be a great base for exploring everything that the Limousin has to offer. The lakes of St Pardoux are not far and there are train connections to Paris, Toulouse and Bordeaux from Limoges. The international airport is about 15 mins by car.
