Limousin, Creuse, St-Marc-à-Loubaud, France

The house, from around 1900, is in a little friendly hamlet with an enclosed front garden/courtyard. It is semi-detached but does not feel so because it is set back from the neighbour and there is a dividing wall and fence.

Outside: double gates access a short driveway to the house. The garden area at the front door is flat, ideal for a table and chairs;, and it looks onto a well and small lily pond. To the side is a parking shelter/woodstore, and three small outbuildings in need of renovation. Ideal maybe for hens or storage.

Main House: The front door opens into a living/dining area with open fireplace and useful corner sink by the door. The floor is tiled. To the left is a second sitting area with a handmade wooden staircase leading upstairs, wooden floor, and a stone wall with feature alcoves. There is access to a cellar from this room.

To the right of the main living/dining area is a newly-modelled shower room, nice to have somewhere to get clean when renovating. Finally on the ground floor there's a kitchen area awaiting renovation. There is a second staircase to the right of the house.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms (4.8mx3.6m approx and 4.5mx3.7m approx), 2 wide landing areas and a WC.

Adjoining building: Next door is a workshop with glass and wood doors, and beside that a tiled craft/display room with a room of a similar-size above. From the upstairs room, there is access to a large attic/storage space. This part of the building is a lovely usable space, with multiple possibilities as a separate gite (all dependant upon the usual permissions) or a craft studio.

There is also unattached meadow land totalling 4270m2, easily accessible on foot.

The septic tank system was replaced end 2018/2019. The windows and front door were replaced in 2011. The guttering was replaced in around 2000.
