Châteauneuf-la-Forêt, Limousin 87130

This beautiful barn, converted in the early 2000s, is located on the hillside, in the middle of its landscaped grounds of more than 2, 500m, in a hamlet on the heights of a small village with amenities and swimming lake in the south-east of the Haute-Vienne.More than 200m of living space has been created from an agricultural building to transform it into a high quality family home. A potential for development remains with the old house and its approximately 100m convertible, as well as a storage space with a second adjoining barn of about 90m. Small additional outbuildings, a bread oven, as well as a terrace area with covered area and in-ground swimming pool complete this charming property, where you can directly put your suitcases down to enjoy life in the countryside for many years to come.The converted barnPast a small covered porch, you are welcomed directly into the tiled and heated living room of more than 90m with built-in cupboards to the side. A double-sided fireplace insert built of stone sits in the middle of the room. A large bay window on the south side has replaced the original barn door and brings light to the space. On the north side, two sliding patio doors open onto the terrace and most of the grounds. On the right-hand side of the huge room, a toilet (approx. 5M) with toilet has been fitted out, as well as a pantry (approx. 4.5M) adjoining the open kitchen. The storeroom also serves as a passageway to the laundry-boiler room (approx. 14M) created in the second adjoining barn. There is a corner for washing machines and dryers, as well as the combined oil-fired central heating system and heat pump. A side door allows you to access the available space it offers: a large garage for two cars and a workshop. A suspended storage loft (approx. 26M) is located above part of the garage.An open staircase leads to the 1st floor from the living room to a mezzanine converted into an office area (approx. 12M). A long mezzanine passageway leads to 3 bedrooms (10m, 11.5m and 11.5m), one of which has an en-suite bathroom (approx. 6.5m). On the mezzanine, there is a separate Wc and built-in cupboards and finally, a passage to a space created in the second barn: a games room with integrated mezzanine (approx. 17.5M) and a dressing room (approx. 6M). This space can of course also become an additional bedroom with its private dressing room or its own bathroom. It's up to you!The old house and its outbuildingsFormerly the main house of this complex, it is now used as a storage outbuilding, the role of the buildings having been reversed. Due to the small slope of the land, it consists of 3 levels, one of which looks more like a half-level. The old kitchen, with its large open fireplace, has now become a garage (approx. 25.5M), of which a metal sliding door has replaced the original front door. Part of its floor is covered with a concrete slab on one level, a second small part has a wooden floor partly raised on a cellar. A few steps are climbed and you reach an open plateau (approx. 36M) with old plank flooring, stone walls and exposed beams. A staircase leads to the attic (approx. 37M) that can be converted above with small windows at ground level. On the garden level, under the half-level ground floor, two other rooms are available to you: a storage room (approx. 22M) used to store garden maintenance equipment and with an access door on the courtyard side and another on the garden side, and a fresh wine cellar (approx. 17M) in beaten earth. Between the old house and the storage barn, an awning (approx. 11M) with stone walls and floor and tiled roof, is in front of the restored bread oven, an ideal corner for barbecuing and cooking pizzas over a wood fire in the right season, even when it rains!A landscaped garden in connection with the houseEven if it is good to live in the huge main room of the house, by the fire in winter, as soon as the sunny days arrive, we want to enjoy the magnificent exteriors of our region. Here, everything has been planned: there are two large sliding windows for dining with family or friends on the covered terrace (approx. 19.5M) made of tiles and on the open outdoor terrace. A gently sloping staircase leads down to the 4.5x9m oblong in-ground swimming pool heated by heat pump. The fenced lawn, decorated with various trees, will allow you to admire the view overlooking the valley. There is room for a chicken coop or kennel. A laurel hedge borders the boundary of the raised land in relation to the neighbour's garden, on the west side. On the south side, in front of the house, a large parking lot on concrete slab with gate and wicket gate allows several vehicles to be parked comfortably
