| As if a painter had started his most wonderful work but needs his patron to add their own inspirational touches, this canvas is nearing completion but needs the eventual owner to make their contribution to complete the masterpiece. Will you be the one to add the finishing touches that create a Picasso with this lovely stone house and barn?
Set on the edge of a little hamlet amongst the beautiful Creuse countryside and within walking distance of the local lake, this lovely house is wonderfully situated. Its soft, traditional fa�ade, with wisteria growing over a front balcony, makes it a most picturesque property. Generous open spaces, flooded with light, on the ground floor level give a light, contemporary feel. The central area, exposed to the roof with its sturdy oak beams, is surrounded by a first floor gallery with its own generous living space. The downstairs lounge area contains an impressive open fireplace for the chilly winter months. All of this means that the traditional country barn character remains, but is fused with a light, modern feel. Behind the traditional fa�ade of this property lies a unique fusion of ancient and modern. The modern side includes double glazed windows almost throughout, full under-floor central heating , however a new boiler will be needed for ,a good sized kitchen with fitted units, modern bathroom, a new septic tank, large patio doors leading to the large garden and to the secluded second terrace ideal for summer entertaining. Taken together, this provides all the modern convenience one could want. When married to the many traditonal features, what is being offered here is a truly unique and special place. To the rear, off the dining room, is a generous rear entrance hall with a natural slate floor, giving access to a small pantry and tiled utility room with washing machine point, and a downstairs WC. The upstairs has been constructed in a mezzanine style, currently used as living space, but could easily be converted to two further bedrooms if required. At present there are two single bedrooms, one of which is plumbed to provide a second family bathroom if required. A short corridor leads to two further adjoining bedrooms and an en-suite bathroom with WC. These two rooms could easily be turned into one and have windows to two aspects. The large garden at the rear, is mostly laid to lawn, with a small terraced area, walnut cherry plum apple and pear trees. It also contains a three-room outbuilding that could easily be converted [with permission] to a �maison d�amis� or granny annex, [all services are in place], plus plenty of space for a small swimming pool. At the end of the garden are double gates and a gravel drive, so no lack of car parking space�. All that is left now, if for you to add your own distinctive touches to complete this masterpiece of French living. |
