Limousin, Creuse, Jarnages, France

This granite house, built between 1850 and 1900, is spacious, light and retains some of its original features like the oak staircases and some oak floors.

The garden to the rear is private and has gated access for a car, and a separate double garage with storage space above. A traditional meat-smoking kiln makes a nice feature and there are a couple of small outbuidlings. There's a nice view over to the church and the fields beyond.

The house has just been re-insulated and a new air-source heat pump has been fitted. A thermodynamic (air-source) water heater has also been fitted, rendering the property a DPE B. There is double glazing throughout. The house has a fibre internet connection.

Some work has been done in the bathroom but it would benefit from further upgrading. Likewise with the kitchen which look out to the back garden and opens via double glass doors into the living/dining room (approx 30m2). There are two large bedrooms and one smaller. The loft has been closed off and insulated but it could be renovated to form more living space. There is a large cellar.

One nice feature of the house, for someone wanting to work from home, is the adjoining shop space. It could also become more living space and can be accesses internally from the house. There is a toilet and washbasin at the rear.
