Farmhouse with 2nd House/Barn for Renovation for Sale in Jouac, Limousin, France

Smashing Big Farmhouse and a 2nd for Renovation - Great Land

Situated on the edge of the hamlet and with all its land sloping gently away giving full seclusion and wonderful views, this big old farmhouse comes with an amazing little house for renovation, almost as a ‘BOGOF’. As we enter the hamlet, we swing into the graveled drive, the property has the main house to the left and the little old house with attached barn to our right, flanking the lovely graveled courtyard. The main house has a semi-fitted kitchen, pretty units and work surface to one side, but a pretty old, naff, steel sink in the other corner (easy remedied!) – a big pantry is to the rear. The next room is a big diner (about 18m²) with a brick fireplace and insert, to the rear of this is an old conservatory which needs to be re-furbished to profit from the views and the southern facing aspect. A large sitting room (about 20m²) has a huge oak beam dominating the ceiling and a new bathroom has been introduced into the corner – a door out to the back is here, making it jolly handy when you’re coming in needing a good hose down! Up the stair at the end of the building we come up to find a long corridor with, to the right a reasonable bathroom and a separate WC. To the left we have a three huge bedroom, all of about 18m², each with massive windows out to the courtyard, a fourth single bedroom is off to the right. Back out to the courtyard, we have the small old house, currently used as a workshop cum store room, this has a stone flagged floor and is about 36m², with the barn attached being about 60m² and the two having a completely new roof and with mains drains running just alongside – this is a super project (not often I really fancy a job this size, but in this case you’d be blind not to see the potential!). A small stone goat shed is under the tree at the entrance to the courtyard and the land consists of a wonderful orchard with every fruit tree you can imagine, a large field of just over an acre and a half acre wood – with all this sweeping down from the house giving fantastic views, this is a house where you need to be planning to live full time – and what a pleasure it would be!
