Character property, 16390 SAINT SEVERIN

This detached property for renovation is located in the magnificent Périgord Limousin National Regional Park. There are several leisure lakes nearby as well as beautiful market towns. The village of Saint Mathieu is only 5 minutes away and has many shops, bars and other amenities. Limoges airport is around 40 minutes away.

The stone house has been partially renovated in recent years and is ready to welcome new owners to continue the work. On the ground floor there is a good-sized kitchen area (20 m2) with a wood-burning stove with a back boiler that heats the central heating system. There is a lounge with exposed beams and stonework. Finally on this floor, to the rear of the kitchen, there is a shower room with WC and another room that could be used as a utility room.

An original wooden staircase leads up to the first floor accommodation where the 2 bedrooms (25m2 and 11m2) are located. Another staircase leads to the attic, which could easily be converted. Adjoining the rear of the house is a magnificent space that would have been a former hayloft. An opening from the first floor could be made to integrate this useful space in order to increase the number of bedrooms and bathrooms.

The property is predominantly double glazed and has been partially insulated. There is a wood-fired central heating system, but this has not been used recently. The property has beautiful wooden floors in many rooms. There is a septic tank but this will need updating.

Adjoining the side of the property is a large barn measuring approximately 60 m2. It is easy to see how this space could be integrated to extend the main dwelling or be used as a workshop or storage. On the other side of the house are 2 further outbuildings of approx. 20 m² and 15 m², a small courtyard and a well. To the rear of the buildings is a covered area that would make an ideal terrace and entertaining area.

The adjoining land (4910 m²) surrounds the buildings and is ideal for anyone wishing to have a smallholding or simply a large garden. The garden is now overgrown and will need to be cleared by the new owners, but once you do you will have lovely views over the countryside to the rear of the property. There are no immediate neighbours and the garden is not overlooked.

The house represents excellent value for money and is a must see at this price.
