Property Description

This could be your rural idyll without feeling too isolated. Situated just a short walk outside a village with grocery shop and very popular garden centre and along the Saint Jacques de Compostelle pilgrim route from Crozant and the pricturesque Creuse river to La Souterraine.

Its location is a mere 12 km to the thriving market town of Dun Le Palestel, 20 km from all main amenities at La Souterraine, and 8 km from Éguzon-Chantôme, with its large reservoir lake offering a multitude of nautical activities. This lovely house is in a picturesque setting opposite a small private lake only requires a little updating. With all manner of flora and fauna, plus endless rambling opportunities on its doorstep, including the disused railway line which has been re-purposed to accommodate cyclists, quads, walkers and horse-riders, the house boasts three double bedrooms one of which is on the ground floor, plus a climate proof garden with mature trees and a pond. Additionally, there is a large garden shed with wood storage facility as well as on-property parking. The property has a wood burner and gas central heating and is part double glazed. It also comes with an operational satellite dish. Fibre internet is due to be connected this year.

A recently constructed covered verandah provides views and outdoor seating and gives access to the front door, which leads from an entrance hallway into the fully fitted kitchen/diner with wood burning insert, gas cooker and hob, plus dishwasher. From the kitchen you enter the bright spacious lounge with patio doors to one side and large picture windows to the other. A set of double doors takes you to the ground floor shower room on one side and separate toilet with hot and cold water basin on the other side. Another door off the lounge leads to a double bedroom/study with a fitted wardrobe. This room plus the shower room on the ground floor make this property suitable for age-appropriate living.

Stairs from the lounge take you up to 2 good sized double bedrooms, both with Velux windows plus a central picture window affording uninterrupted views.

From the entrance hallway on the ground floor, you can reach the utility, cellar and garage spaces both from within the property via a stairway or from the outside via the garage doors. The utility room has a practical sink with hot and cold water, contains the hot water tank and central heating boiler and offers ample room and sockets for all white goods. The utility room occupies a central position between the garage and the cellar, both of which offer mountains of storage space for anything from firewood to canned food, wine bottles or gardening tools and furniture.

The garden boasts fine open views as well as shade provided by large Catalpa and Walnut trees. Young trees and shrubs have been planted to provide protection against both sun and wind when necessary, and there are two mature hedges offering privacy and shelter for both humans and animals.

Another positive is the fact that no hunting is allowed around the property as this is privately owned land and used for grazing cattle. This really is a must see house.
