The property sits on its own estate of over 22 acres of prairie and woodland. Built in 1870 this very attractive property has a square tower on the side and is charming and elegant with numerous windows and French doors to allow the beautiful light to enter each room. There is 360m² of living space on each floor on three floors. The property externally seems in very sound condition, and although habitable and it could be lived in and was up until two years ago internally there is large amounts of cosmetic work to be carried out. There are numerous estimates and plans done to turn the property into an eleven bedroom, all en-suite property, keeping an extended living area with two living rooms, large dining room, library, etc. The plans and quotes are available to view when visiting the property. The basement with its large vaulted cellars would house the scullery, the boiler room, the washroom and a games room. The ground floor needs work throughout and includes an entrance hall, living room, dining room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, summer kitchen and bathroom. On the first floor is a habitable apartment with two living rooms, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and wc. Also on this floor are a dining room, further kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. The second floor is attic space in the eaves of around 360m2. In the park there are some very attractive outbuildings, hangar, forge, stables garages etc. With the correct planning permission these could be turned into more living accommodation if necessary. There is no doubt that a fair amount of money and hard work will have to be spent to bring the property back to its former glory and this has been taken into account in the reasonable pricing of the property. It is a gorgeous property full of charm and history, still filled with the presence of Madame George Sand and her entourage; perhaps Chopin or Listz played in the music room. Thorough research by the present owner offers an interesting historic repertoire of the place and the family since 1870. It has to be visited to appreciate its true beauty and potential so if your not frightened of a bit of hard work this really and truly has got to be one of the best investment properties I have come across, with the finished product in my estimation being well in excess of 2 million euros. 23300 La Souterraine Tel: 0033 (0)555 89 78 95 Email: andrew@ieafrance.com www.properties in Limousin.co.uk Send to a Friend:  Send to a Friend-Click Here
