AUBUSSON, Limousin, Address available on request

A 19th century house on a hillside and its partly wooded 6 5 ha estate between Aubusson and Auzances in the Creuse. At the end of a cul-de-sac through a hamlet with only a few dwellings, a private, gated path climbs for around 400 m through pastures towards the house. Overlooking the rolling fields and hedgerows, it enjoys a wide view to the south-west over the hills surrounding the valley and the meandering stream. Set against the main facade, a brick extension with a gable roof houses a sauna. 
On the other side of the terraced courtyard, the long outbuildings back on to the woods that rise to the high point of the grounds. These cover some 6.5 ha, including a few plots of woodland and coppice that are not directly adjoining but not far away. 
The granite facades of the various buildings are either rendered or clad in wood or brick, with rectangular openings and two- or three-pitched slate or tiled roofs.
