This stunning 16th century property sits in an idyllic location south east of the city of Limoges. The principal house, second house, gite and main barn are all built around a fabulous central courtyard which boasts sculptured trees and a stone fountain.
The main house has a wealth of original features which include oak panelling, engraved oak beams, fireplaces bearing the family coat of arms, stone archways, enormous stone staircases and stained glass windows. On the ground floor there is a large entrance, dining room, lounge, two rooms at the rear leading to a toilet and a further large room requiring renovation with an exquisite fireplace. The first floor has a master bedroom and second bedroom which both connect to a bathroom. The second floor has two large attic style bedrooms of 28m² and 44m² both with en suite facilities. The second house has an entrance, toilet and kitchen on the ground floor along with a lounge which is a true reflection of the period with oak floor, fireplace, panels and niches. There are two bedrooms (one en suite), bathroom and lounge on the first floor. The attached gite incorporates an American style kitchen in the ground floor open plan area along with a bathroom and toilet. The first floor has two spacious bedrooms. Central heating is installed in the second house and gite. The immense barn in the central courtyard houses a general barn area, garage, wood store and stable and a vaulted cellar runs underneath. At the front of the property there is a large building with french windows and a mezzanine representing an area of 157m² and attached to this is the central dining hall, kitchen, toilet and cold room. A large stable block with bread oven, 5 loose boxes and stone sheep pen sits opposite.
Land representing just over 22 hectares surrounds the property and gently slopes down to the banks of the River Vienne. There are numerous trees between 300 and 500 years old, a natural source of water feeding two ponds and original granite furniture in the garden and courtyard areas. If walking isn't your style then there is even a train track running through the land - the train and carriages can also be purchased. This is a superb example of French 16th century architecture at its best and ideal for anyone wanting that extra special something in a property.
