La Croisille-sur-Briance
We present to you this former barn converted into a residence about twenty years ago, located in a hamlet secluded from 2 houses, with no vis-à-vis and surrounded by lush nature. Its unique entry porch in the shape of a tower, huge "dog sitting" windows give it a unique look and undeniable appeal in a time where more and more rectangular houses are being built. Some of the renovation has aged, so renovation work will be needed, but the location will reward your efforts. The barn is spread over 3 levels, with the cow stables, semi-buried due to the sloping terrain, now serving as a basement technical space. Above, the floors have been leveled to create a living space, with the first floor being completely converted into a sleeping area. The ground floor includes 2 cellars, storage space, a boiler room, and a landing with a staircase leading to the first floor. On the ground floor, you enter the house from the South through the unique tower porch into an entrance with a separate WC and storage room. Further inside, there is a summer kitchen, extended by a veranda with a door leading to the garden on the East. To the left of the entrance, another door opens to a living-dining room with windows to the South and a patio door to the West onto an elevated wooden terrace with beautiful views over the valley. The living room, heated by a wood stove and illuminated by large windows, leads into a kitchen with a fireplace, brick walls, and exposed stone. Between the kitchen and the summer kitchen, there is a utility room to store appliances. Two closed staircases lead to the basement and the first floor under the roof frame. The first floor consists of a landing with a built-in wardrobe, Velux windows, and a "bull's eye" window, leading to a bedroom with large "dog sitting" windows. Another landing with a patio door leads to a second bedroom and a corridor to a bathroom with a toilet and a third bedroom. The property is located on a complete basement, connected to a septic tank installed in 2000. The heating is a mix of wood and central electric, with hot water provided by electric accumulation. The house also benefits from nearby fiber optic connectivity. The property sits on nearly 2,700m² of wooded land, with a private driveway for parking several vehicles. A small natural pool with a wooden terrace has been created by the previous owner. The immediate proximity of trees to the house will require some pruning. The property is about 5 minutes from the center of La Croisille-sur-Briance and its amenities. The nearest supermarkets are about a 15-minute drive away in Chamberet or Châteauneuf-la-Forêt. Limoges city center is about 40 minutes away (Bellegarde airport is 50 minutes away) and Paris is less than 5 hours away. Considering the unique features, the potential for renovation, and the beautiful natural setting, the price of 150,000 seems like a great value for this property in La Croisille-sur-Briance.
