Versatile property in prime location with significant commercial and residential potential

This historic property was an auberge for over 100 years and is coming onto the market offering you a chance to buy a slice of history in the Chalus area. Located on the main road between Perigueux and Limoges, it has enormous commercial possibilities and could be turned back into a restaurant, bar, cafe etc, (there's the possibility of either buying or renting the License 4 which is already established) as well as converting the upper two levels into apartments/gites or equally one incredible private residence (subject to necessary permissions)!

The ground floor offers a generous bar with beautiful beams and large, stone fireplace which creates a really authentic atmosphere for your clientele. There are two dining rooms, a kitchen, prepping area and washing room that used to service the restaurant, and a WC and small cave. There is access to the garden with a wooden terrace for summer dining for the old restaurant and some mature trees. From the garden you get views of the famous tower of Chalus castle (where it is said that Richard the Lionheart was dealt his final blow) which is only a 2 minute walk away.

The first floor comprises of 6 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms/shower rooms and an owners apartment. You could update the interior decor to transform it into a chambre d'hôtes or divide up the spaces into rental apartments (subject to necessary permissions). Please see the floor plans and get in touch with any questions. Almost all the windows throughout are double glazed.
