REAL ESTATE FOR SALE (€ Euro 283,800)
Chalet for sale in La Souterraine Creuse Limousin France

This quite simply a stunning chalet in a wonderful setting of 2 hectares. Dispel any ideas that you may have about a chalet property and look at this one from a fresh point of view. The situation is on the edge of a hamlet, south of La Souterraine, with a background of trees and views across the open countryside to distant hills.

The build and fitting of this property, constructed in 2005, is of the highest quality and is ready to move into. It would make not only an excellent holiday home, but a permanent home as well. The current owners, when not in occupation, lease it out as a gite.

At the heart of the ground floor is a large reception room (24m2) which comprises a living area, dining area and a fully fitted kitchen. The living area has a wood burning fire and bread oven and doors to the front terrace. The kitchen has everything including fitted appliances, and from the dining area there is another door to the rear of the property. As the house is new, everything is in perfect condition and has had very little use. Off this area are two double bedrooms (7,6m2, 9,6m2) with built-in wardrobes - one with a door to the terrace, a shower room (5,5m2), bathroom (9m2) with bath, double basins, bidet, lavatory - both extremely well fitted. There is also a separate wc, and a laundry / utility room (4m2).

A corridor leads through to a further room (14m2) , currently used as a workshop, which could become an additional bedroom as there is already a garage / workshop (16m2) in the property.

The first floor is an enormous space of 43m2 which is used as a bedroom and living room and has wonderful views across the country side. There is scope here to create a further bedroom with en-suite bathroom, the options are endless as it would be possible to put a balcony up here, for the building design would allow for that. Additionally, there is a vast amount of hidden storage space in the eaves. The front of the building has a terrace, which could be enclosed with glass, allowing use all through the year.

The specification of this property is high. All the glass is double glazed and security strength, it is very well insulated, the house has an alarm system and none of the work has been skimped. Heating is by woodburner and electric radiator which is more than sufficient for full year occupation. Sanitation is by a brand new septic tank system. The 2 hectares of land are around the property, woodland to the back and open country views to the front. The owners did have plans to erect a couple of small chalets on the land for family, friends and for letting. This remains a possibility for any new owner. There is, of course, plenty of space for a swimming pool.

This is a luxury chalet in an excellent setting and if you are looking for something different of the highest quality, then I suggest an early viewing.
