No work to do in this marvellous four bedroom house right in the middle of a lively village in the Limousin. The renovation works include new wiring, new plumbing, full central heating system and the house has been fitted out with great taste, while retaining many wonderful period features. The garden is a blank canvas with a beautiful mature box tree, a bay tree and room to add a swimming pool. A spacious family home or very singular holiday house.

This smart, double fronted house is set back off the main village square. You come into the entrance hall and are immediately struck by the beautiful stained glass doors in the hall. To the left is the kitchen (35m2) completely newly kitted out and unused, all you need to bring is a washing machine. There is space for a large kitchen table at the front end of the kitchen, and heaps of cupboard space. With original wooden floorboards and french windows leading out to a little terrace where you can enjoy breakfast in the sun, this kitchen will make a wonderful family room.

On the other side of the hall at the front of the house is the study (12m2); this could equally well be used as a downstairs bedroom if you need one. Through the stained glass doors the original staircase is lovely and opposite is the door to the lounge (21m2) which has a marble fireplace and windows on to the back garden.

On the first floor is the master bedroom (14m2)with its own gorgeous bathroom (14m2) containing a bath with shower fitting, a large shower, 2 basins, bidet and WC. There are two further bedrooms (16m2 and 14.5m2) and a family bathroom with a bath with shower over, basin and loo.

And the top floor is something else! A bright room, the full width of the house (over 11m) with a bedroom area (12.25m2) with beautiful views from the bed over the surrounding countryside, and another fantastic bathroom (14.5m2) with a shower, 2 basins, WC and bidet.

In addition to all this marvellous space you have a cellar containing the new boiler and oil tanks, and outside a large garden (600m2) with an open fronted shelter and log shed.

This is the perfect house to become a key player in village life, as it is a mere 50 paces from the bar/tabac. Bussière Poitevine is a popular village with all amenities and an active village life, and surrounded by the spectacular rolling countryside and lakes of the Limousin. With Limoges and Poitiers airports under an hour’s drive away, you’ll have a job keeping friends and family away!
