Stunning 5 bedroom Maison de Maître on the outskirts of the popular and historic little town of Benevent L'Abbaye, which is noted in the register of 'Little cities of Character' and on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrim route.

Located on the top of a hill with stunning views of over the expansive gardens and the countryside beyond, this impressive property has been tastefully renovated, while retaining plenty of character and original features. The rooms are light and bright with high ceilings and generous proportions.

Making the most of the space, the ground floor is an open plan concept with a large entrance, a living room with an impressive fireplace, a kitchen dining area. There are floor to ceiling windows on both sides of the ground floor living space which open out onto the wrap-around decked veranda - an idyllic spot for entertaining and relaxing.

Off of the first floor landing there is a wc and 3 tastefully decorated, spacious bedrooms, all having their own en suite bathroom and wc.

On the 2nd floor there are a further 2 huge bedrooms, one currently used as a study, plus a family bathroom with bath and a shower.

Under the house in the basement are three storage rooms, a laundry room and boiler room.

Outside are sweeping lawns with numerous little terraces and shady spots to enjoy, an above ground pool, and a vegetable garden with greenhouse and a well. The driveway to the front of the house provides ample parking for several cars and has access to the large garage outbuilding with workshop, terrace and covered storage area (there is electricity). Subject to necessary permissions, this would make a fabulous holiday let or perhaps an art or yoga studio.

The property is connected to mains drainage, there is an oil central heating system and has been double glazed throughout. Set on a total plot of 8037m².

A short walk from the property is Benevent historic centre with its impressive abbey, a bar / restaurant, a bakery, a butchers shop and a supermarket.

This substantial and impressive property set on a total plot of 8037m², in an idyllic location, would be absolutely perfect as a bed and breakfast or as a large family home. Less than an hour from Limoges airport.
