Saint-Germain-les-Belles, Limousin 87380

This single-story house was built on the old foundations of a castle. The window and door frames have probably been reused. The castle has been rebuilt and is now owned by the neighbor. The L-shaped construction is surrounded by a stone wall, creating a private inner garden. Unfortunately, the whole is somewhat dilapidated, but its old-world charm is still perceptible and can be restored. Large living space All the rooms are adjacent. You move from one room to another. The house has two entrances. One leads to the kitchen with its stone fireplace. From the kitchen you access a storage room/pantry and an old small office. Next to the kitchen is the living room with its marble fireplace. Next to it is the-through dining room, also with a fireplace and giving access to the toilets. Next to it is a corridor with the second entrance. This corridor gives access to the sleeping area. It consists of a large bedroom with a private bathroom and two bedrooms sharing a common bathroom. The rooms are equipped with radiators, but the central heating no longer works. In addition, there are damp spots on the ceiling. These appeared during the roof replacement (about 15 years ago) but have never been repaired. The house needs a major renovation. It has a cellar over the full footprint and a large attic. The attic floor is insulated, which currently makes it inaccessible. Outbuildings Perpendicular to the house is a barn housing an old guest house. This guest house consists of four rooms, but has been completely neglected in recent years and needs a total renovation. The adjacent garage is ideal for parking a car. However, the roof of this wing must be replaced. It already has a large hole on one side. A little further there are other ruins. These old barns no longer have a roof and threaten to collapse. On the entire site of about 5 hectares, more than 9,000 m² are free. The rest of the land is farmed by a neighboring farmer. Location The property is a few kilometers from the village of Saint-Germain-les-Belles, a charming small village with a post office and a small grocery. The village has several small restaurants. There is also a pretty swimming lake with a beach and a designated area for children. This area is equipped with several playgrounds and also has a tennis court. For other amenities, you need to go to Magnac-Bourg, nearby, which hosts a large supermarket.
