Spacious period town house with walled garden

A delightful old 'Maison Bourgeoise' set behind high wrought iron gates with pigeonnier and renovated Coach house, in a quiet corner of a small town with all conveniences to hand. The house requires restoring to its former elegance but having six bedrooms would make a very comfortable family residence or alternatively it could be reconfigured to create a most attractive Chambre D'hôtes. From the main hall double doors open into a formal drawing room 30m², complete with marble fireplace, low wall paneling, plaster coving and centre ceiling rose. Opposite, another set of double doors open into the former dining room now a kitchen/breakfast room 25m² with a separate entrance to the garden via a véranda and glazed porch. From the kitchen, a door opens into an inner hall with an impressive carved oak staircase leading to the bedrooms above, a shower room and separate wc and door into a large light and airy sitting room 27m² with an imposing granite fireplace and chimney breast with an inset woodburner. A curtained partition reveals a continuation of the sitting room into what was once possibly a study or library, 17m². On the first floor there are six double bedrooms and stairs up to an extensive fully boarded attic with good sized windows allowing plenty of natural light. This space would readily convert to additional bedroom accommodation or a self-contained apartment. There is a large utility/laundry room housing the boiler for the oil fired central heating and a wine cellar. In the garden there is a renovated Coach house comprising a garage, a huge ground floor studio suitable for any number of leisure or commercial uses and above on the first floor is an open-plan space of 120m² with the potential to convert into additional accommodation/gite if required. The part-walled gardens are laid mainly to lawn with borders and several large mature trees and a drive with ample parking. Limoges Airport is under an hour's drive. The property is quite habitable but does require renovation to create a much sought after chic French home.
