Rare property with historical features in medieval town

This stunning property is believed to date from the late 19th century and was rebuilt in the 1950's by an archealogist who sourced medieval and historic monuments to adorn the house and garden. The carved phrases, stone statues and centre pieces, the stained glass windows and the size of this town house give it a real wow factor. The tower is the main entrance leading into a gracious oak panelled dining room, a breakfast room, a pretty fitted kitchen and a utility area on one side. To the other side is an equally large comfortable lounge / library with feature fireplace, stained glass windows and a  second sitting room (snug) with Godin log burner  and arched oak French doors framed in stone. Both these rooms have delightful parquet floors. The French doors of the snug open onto a pleasant courtyard. The bespoke oak spiral staircase in the tower leads to four spacious bedrooms. The largest double aspect bedroom is currently used as an office. The master bedroom has an ensuite bath room with separate shower and adjacent to it is an attic room currently a sewing room but it could be a 5th bedroom/ nursery/ office or a dressing room. A third bedroom has an ensiute shower room and there is a fourth generous double bedroom and a separate family shower room. Outside, the electric gates and driveway lead to a higher level courtyard with shaded area for summer and a fish pond with water feature.  There is ample parking for 5 cars and the double garages have electric doors and a first floor. This building used to be two cottages. With the correct permissions, the garages could be converted to make a gite for additional living space for friends and family or for an income.
The heated swimming pool is 12m x 4m with a generous patio and solar powered shower. The secluded garden of approximately 3/4 acre stretches west and is well stocked with flowers shrubs and fruit trees. The town has supermarkets, DIY stores, bars, shops, garages and restaurants all within easy walking distance as well as day and night markets. Limoges airport is around 30 minutes away.
