Spacious and welcoming, a substantial property that was formerly two houses and one of the biggest barns I have ever seen! This family home is in good condition throughout and offers both residential and commercial possibilities. Equally suitable for family living or two generation families, it is ideally placed for a Bed and Breakfast establishment. As the main residence could easily be converted back to two houses, you may wish to consider this for rental income as well. A gite at the back of the house is an added bonus. And the barn - well, let your imagination go...

The entrance hall has a lovely feel about it with the original stone floor, traditional open fireplace and beams having been retained. Off from here is an office and further on is a good sized kitchen and pretty dining room.

There are two staircases - one from the entrance hall and another from the vast lounge. Upstairs, two of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The other two bedrooms are next to the family bathroom. A large games room/studio could be used for many purposes or converted to additional bedrooms. A staircase from the landing provides access to the large loft area, running the whole length of the house.

The former dairy is being sympathetically converted into a 1 bedroom gite with original stone floor, bread oven and beams. And the barn - whilst it is not that unusual to have a barn with a floor area of 146m², it is the height that is not so common! In very good condition, it can be used for garaging, storage or converted. (The owners will consider selling the house without the barn.) An extension to the barn is used for wood storage.

A pretty and private rear courtyard is a lovely place to spend those warm summer evenings enjoying a barbecue and a glass or two of wine. And the wine can be kept close to hand in the vaulted cellar. The garden to the back and side of the property is mostly grassed, with your own 'petanque' area.

Situated in a popular small Creuse market town with local shops and amenities, supermarket, school, etc, the property is in a quiet area close to the recently restored 'lavoir'. The town is lacking in tourist accommodation, so there is a good opportunity here to have a home with an income. Nearby tourist attractions include the Valley of the Painters, the Three Lakes, Lac Chambon, the medieval towns La Souterraine and St Benoit du Sault.
