La Croisille-sur-Briance, Limousin 87130

Tastefully renovated stone barn of nearly 200m of living space set on its grounds of just under 7, 000m, in a hamlet on the heights of a small village with amenities of the Millevaches Regional Park in Limousin, about 40 minutes drive south-east of Limoges.A charming and coherent layoutEntirely converted in the early 2000s from an agricultural building, and completed in 2024, this beautiful barn is a rather rare property in our region, due to the size of its living space and the quality of the work carried out.The house is entered through a French window housed in the middle of a huge bay window, which was originally the old barn door, into the warm cathedral living room (approx. 36M), all with beams and exposed stone walls nicely rejoined, where you can guess, to the left of the entrance, the headlocks of yesteryear, historical witnesses of its agricultural past. A solid wood staircase, with storage, goes around the walls towards the mezzanine on the 1st floor. An office (approx. 9M) with an interior window, is used as a storage room, as one of the 4 bedrooms upstairs has been converted into an office by the owners. To the left of the living room, the spacious living room (approx. 34M) with wood burner in the fireplace, has a French window and a large bay window to the terrace, the dominant view and the garden facing south-west. A door gives direct access to the fitted kitchen (approx. 19.5M), which also benefits from a French window onto the terrace. As an extension of this room, the scullery (approx. 10M) has worktops, under which the appliances are installed and a deep sink, practical for maintenance tasks. An external glazed door gives access to the parking area and storage outbuilding, on the north side. Finally, a tiled shower room with toilet (approx. 7M) completes the layout of the ground floor.On the 1st floor, the mezzanine (approx. 12M) runs along the living room and gives access to a spacious bathroom (approx. 9.5M) with skylights and a delightfully retro look, equipped with a large shower cubicle, a pedestal sink and a family bathtub on lion's paw feet, reminiscent of the cast iron bathtubs of yesteryear. Also from the mezzanine, we enter a 1st bedroom (approx. 9M at 1.80m wall height) with Velux. Then, a closed airlock (approx. 3.5M) leads to 2 bedrooms (approx. 8M & 10m to 1.80m) and finally, to the master suite (approx. 21.5M) on the south gable and which enjoys the most beautiful view of the house, thanks to its large sliding bay windows. A private bathroom with walk-in shower in waxed concrete, Wc and Velux gives an undeniable cachet to this suite.The house is equipped with recent aluminum and wood joinery, programmable electric radiators, a stove, efficient insulation and a septic tank that meets standards, you will only have to put down your suitcases to start enjoying this high quality property.A large intimate garden with terraces and outbuildingThe house is located on the northern edge of its land, on the edge of a quiet hamlet, along a communal road with no passage. A high aluminium gate opens onto a gravelled terrace, out of sight, giving access to the main entrance. A large lime tree allows you to enjoy a healthy shade in summer, while enjoying the beautiful view.The large terrace along the south gable directly accessible from the living room and the kitchen, is a real benefit, so that you can eat outside with family or friends.
