BUSSIERE POITEVINE, Limousin 87320

Our local agent is pleased to offer you this fabulous estate, close to the beautiful Gartempe River. The property has 14 hectares mainly pastures with some woods. The large old manor house has been transformed by the current owners over the last 16 years. They raised and completely replaced the roof, installed all new electrical installations, custom-made windows and doors adapted to the building and made from century-old teak wood. They installed a lot of insulation, as well as a ground source heat pump (44kW) providing underfloor/wall heating throughout the house. The floors were lifted and insulation and underfloor heating were installed. Recent septic tank. Although a huge amount of structural work has been done, there are still some decorative finishes to be done. Through large teak doors, the spacious entrance hall leads into a large room on either side - on your right, the 35m2 kitchen with wood burner and beams, leading to a 20m2 storeroom with sink, and access to the adjoining barn. To the left of the hall, a dining room with exposed beams (35m2), and at the end of the hall a living room of 30m2 with wood burner. Also from the hall, an independent unit for people with reduced mobility comprising a living room (23m3) with wood stove, a bedroom with shower/WC and an external entrance adapted for wheelchairs. Wood stoves provide supplemental heat as needed, using large amounts of wood from the property. This is a large house - 450m2 of living space, hence its suitability - given its tranquil and private setting - for its current activity as a bed and breakfast/holiday cottage for up to 15 people. But also, it could become a retreat, or given the slightly hilly and well-drained terrain, an equestrian center. On the first floor, from a spacious hall, there are three very large bedrooms (40m2, 30m2 and 28m2 with bathroom of 23m2) and a living room of 34m2. Then on the top floor, two bedrooms, 37m2 and 33m2 and a shower room - the roof has been raised, with a reinforced steel hooped beam and dormers, to give these rooms a very nice height and brightness. Attached to the house is a two bedroom gite, with a kitchen/dining room, living room and bathroom. It has a Rayburn that also heats the gite's radiators. Also attached to the house is the huge barn (340m2) which currently houses agricultural machinery, a lambing shed and a workshop/storage for vintage cars. The barn also has a modern shower room with WC/shower. There is an enclosed vegetable garden and various fruit trees.
