MEILHARDS, Limousin, Address available on request

Pretty stone construction from the early 1960s located in the heart of a small village in the Corrèze, about ten minutes from the motorway linking Brive-la-Gaillarde to Limoges. Ready to move into without any work, it has a full-size basement, a stone outbuilding and a fenced and flat south-facing plot of land to able to enjoy uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside.

High ceilings and bright interior
The tall house is set back from the village road. You walk up a few steps and into an entrance hall with built-in cupboards opening, on its left, onto a bathroom and a separate toilet, and on its right, onto a fitted kitchen. Finally, directly connected to it, a good size living room fitted with a recent wood burner and large bay windows to admire the bucolic landscape that spreads uninterruptedly on the south side.

A solid oak staircase goes up to the first floor made up entirely of solid chestnut floors. A landing connects to 2 bedrooms on the north side. The largest of which has large custom-made cupboards and is used as an office. Two additional bedrooms on the south side benefits from the same pretty view as that enjoyed by the living room located just below.

A closed stairwell leads to the full-size attic located above comprising two easily convertible areas separated by a roof supporting wall. The possibilities are there, ready to be exploited.

The house is built over a full basement (ceiling height of 7) accessible from the ground floor landing. A practical wood storage area awaits you at the bottom of the staircase. Then you have a utility/boiler room with a sink, thermodynamic hot water tank powered by electricity and/or 14 solar panels. An 8-kilowatt heat pump with a buffer tank heats the water radiators fitted in all the rooms of the house. On the other side of the stairwell, a storeroom/workshop with the water supply meter and the sewage pipes leading to the village mains drainage network located along the road. Finally, a dual-aspect garage with a new solid wood double door opens onto the garden.

Want a little bonus?
Completely unexpected for a 1960s building, the house benefits from an old stone outbuilding with a shed/former stable and a bread oven. Part of the roof is made of cement fibre; the other part is made of flat clay country tiles.

Private parking and flat land with panoramic views
Another less usual benefit for a village house is that you can park your car in a private parking area with a double gate on one side of the house. It is possible to cover this area by building a carport, or even close it off completely by creating a garage adjoining the house. Behind the house and on one side of it, there are only meadows and wooded areas. On the other side, the garden of the neighbour in a second home is parallel to the garden of the house. What better way to admire the beautiful countryside views than from the comfort of your swimming pool, while sipping a refreshing drink... This one has been installed at the southern end of the land to be sure to be as close as possible to the action!

In the countryside, but not isolated
The village of Meilhards has a country bakery, a multi-service shop, a garage, a local infant/primary school. It is a few minutes from Chamberet, a larger village with a supermarket, many shops, a post office, a bank, etc. The town of Uzerche and all its infrastructure is about twenty minutes away. If you prefer the train, the nearest station is in Masseret, about 10 minutes from the house. Limoges and Brive-La-Gaillarde are 45 minutes away.
