Surdoux, Limousin 87130

Originally a small stone dwelling built in the mid-19th century, this house was renovated and enlarged less than 10 years ago by its owners to bring it into the 21st century. Located at the foot of Mont Gargan and its 731 meters, in one of the smallest municipalities in the Limousin, less than 10 minutes from shops and kindergartens and primary schools, this 3-bedroom, 120 m² house is perfectly suited for a family seeking modern comfort in a privileged rural setting. On a large double plot of 2,286 m² in total, a two-level barn, a well, an animal enclosure, and a vegetable garden complete a sought-after property ensemble in our beautiful region. Larger since 2018 An extension, carried out by a building professional, created a beautiful L-shaped living area of about 47 m², consisting on the ground floor of an entrance, a kitchen open to a dining room and a living room with a wood stove in the chimney. Two large sliding glass doors, located on either side of the house, give access to the two terraces at the front and rear. It is possible to create a veranda connected to the house from the kitchen or dining area, as the terrain is flat and easily adaptable. A small bathroom (about 2.5 m²), older but functional, is accessible from the living room via the boiler room (about 2.5 m²), where a heat pump and a heat boiler were installed in 2023 to replace the previous gas central heating. Finally, the old kitchen (about 7.5 m²), with an access door under the staircase leading from the living room to the upper floor, has remained in a works state and is used as storage. Why not enlarge the bathroom by using this room, or even create a ground-floor bedroom with its own private bathroom? Your choice! On the first floor, 3 bedrooms (about 12 m², 13.5 m² and 15.5 m²) have been arranged around a central landing (about 8.5 m²). Two of the bedrooms benefit from a small toilet area (about 2 m²) with a WC and sink located between them. Finally, a beautiful family bathroom (about 7.5 m²) has just been finished with a shower, bathtub, vanity unit and storage/laundry corner, plus a separate toilet with a hand basin. A staircase provides access to the insulated attic under the roof. Under the two Velux windows, between the exposed framework, there is a usable area of about 12 m². In terms of works, the extension and its interior layout were completed, of course, but also the modernization of electricity, installation of PVC and aluminum exterior joinery with electric roller shutters, replacement of central heating and hot water as explained above, installation of insulation, and a compliant sanitation system. A front boundary wall with electric sliding gate was built. The old septic tank has been cleaned and now collects rainwater channeled to it. A pump allows using this water for gardening. The garden and outbuildings The property sits on a total area of 2,286 m², divided into two parts: the house sits on a 736 m² plot and, across the village road, 1,550 m² fully fenced dedicated to the vegetable garden, effluent dispersion, and animals, with an enclosure for this purpose. There are also two outbuildings on the land: a stone barn about 70 m² (two levels of 35 m² each), perfect as a garage or storage space, as the main door opens directly onto the road. The ground floor is semi-basement and contains a space for storing garden equipment and another used as a workshop. There is a water well for animals and garden vegetables. Two sheds, one adjoined to the barn, are additional practical assets!
