Limoges, Limousin 87000

Exclusive To Beaux Villages! Being just 15 minutes from Limoges and dating back to 1790 with its own private driveway weaving through to the chateau. Originally owned by a Count and one of Napoleon's Generals this deceptively spacious grand chateau offers so much for its next owner, a family home, boutique hotel or a bed and breakfast, many options of development (subject to necessary permissions). The current owner has been renovating the castle and much of the major work has been completed across the ground and first floors. There are some wonderful fireplaces throughout. Across the ground floor, you currenty have the grand entrance, living room, dining room, library, garden entrance hall, kitchen with pantry/laundry room and stairs going to cellar. The cellar is the size of the whole chateau with lots of storage space, 2 wine cellars and boiler room.On the first floor, you have 5 bedrooms. 2 bedrooms with en suites, 1 bedroom with bathroom next door plus two more 2 bedrooms which need some finishing.The top floor has an East and West wing and would be perfect for the creation of two apartments for family or holiday rental or adding further bedrooms (subject to necessary permissions).The septic tank system has been replaced, the gas heating system is new, invoices are available so the larger parts of work have been completed.The exterior offers just under 2 hectares of garden including a field. The gardens surround the property and are made up of lawns, mature trees plus you have a large garage area with a 30m2 room above for possible conversion (subject to necessary permissions), the front offers an ornamental fountain sitting in the middle of the lawn.Being so close to Limoges and all the city offers makes this chateau an ideal location to settle and enjoy rural life, with the airport just a 25 minute drive way and the most beautiful Tgv station in France nearby.Only an internal inspection will truly suffice to appreciate this wonderful home and all if could be.
