Évaux-les-Bains, Limousin 23110

A former farm in more than 4 hectares of meadows and copses, in the north of the Creuse area, 20 minutes from Montluçon. This series of farm buildings, which were most probably erected in the 19th century, stands in approximately 4 hectares of wooded countryside and includes several buildings set around a vast, central, grassed zone. Two access lanes, one of which is private and requires resurfacing work, link the property to a small country road. Two longhouses stand in the centre of the series of buildings and are heated by a boiler powered by gas stored in a tank. The first longhouse has been renovated and can be moved into immediately, while the second requires a full restoration. Two barns and former cowsheds, one of which has a surface of around 325 m², are accompanied by an outbuilding with an old bread oven and a storehouse. The constructions are made of granite, boast simple as well as long volumes and are topped by gabled roofs, some of which are made of local tiles while others are made of slate. The first longhouse covers a surface of approximately 150 m² spread over two storeys. It includes an almost 55-m² living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a convertible attic. The approximately 200-m² second longhouse requiring restoration is made up of a living room with an open-plan kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. If necessary, thanks to the layout, two more could be created.
