BEYSSENAC, Limousin, Address available on request

Old beamed ceiling, stone walls and many original details betray the building year of 1742 in this atmospheric maison de campagne of almost 20 metres long and 5.50 metres wide. You enter the house through a beautiful antique castle door. From the hall with toilet you reach the living room with two fireplaces, one with a wood-burning stove that heats the house. The house is double-glazed and can be kept warm in winter with 2 extra gas stoves.

The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped and large enough for a dining table. If you replace a window for a door, you immediately have a walkthrough to the beautiful garden.

On the first floor are two bedrooms and a landing where there is space to make another bedroom.  There is a bathroom with a bathtub. The original beams have been kept in sight and plenty of light comes through the skylights.

The condition of the house is good, but the shutters deserve a paint job. There is a cellar for storing fine wines.

Outside
Attached to the house is the stable which now serves as storage for garden tools. The plot of almost 8,000 m2 have beautiful trees and bamboo, is glowing and playfully landscaped. Its higher elevation than the surrounding area means you have views everywhere you stand. It is located in a small dead-end hamlet of 3-4 houses.

The attractive towns of Pompadour, Lubersac and Segur le Chateau can be reached within 15 minutes.
