Unexpectedly re-offered for sale due to bureaucratic error. This attractive Maison de Maitre of historic interest was purpose-built circa 1860 as the Equestrian Centre of Excellence for the Limousin region and is located in a prime position on the edge of medieval town Le Dorat.
Spacious and comfortable family home, much loved and enjoyed as a holiday home for the past fifteen years has been tastefully modernised whilst still retaining its character.
The property benefits from several prime must-haves in today's modern living setting:
1. Two private outside living spaces (walled courtyard and roof terrace) completely unoverlooked and peaceful.
2. Three bathroom/shower rooms: two bedroom ensuites and a third shower room situated on the ground floor.
3. Home office with separate entrance door making conversion into a small business facility very easy to achieve if desired.
4. Modern kitchen with fitted appliances.
5. Integral garage and plenty of space for off-road parking.
The detached property sits in a prominent position in Place du Manege, Le Dorat with its front elevation overlooking the 'English Park', site of the once dominant Chateau of the Counts of La Marche, razed in 1589. An ancient cedar tree now stands in the centre of the park, symbolising freedom.
The adjacent riding paddock was once part of this property but is now owned and maintained by the Commune. Horses often exercise and compete in local and regional show-jumping events.
All of the town's amenities are within easy walking distance including the railway station which offers easy connection to Limoges and Poitiers (and on to Paris). Limoges Airport is a convenient 40 minutes drive, and the A20 autoroute is also close by. The town has everything you need: a post office, supermarket, petrol station, bakers, butcher, doctor, dentist, hairdressers, builders merchant and outlet for Limousin porcelain. There are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants serving the small but vibrant community and the cinema shows the latest films in English one night per week.
The house offers plenty of living space over two floors; three ground floor rooms, plus office, fitted kitchen and shower room and on the first floor three double bedrooms, two with ensuites. The master bedroom has a small dressing room area and large ensuite bathroom with whirlpool two- seater spa bath, rainfall shower and washbasin, with wc, and additional handbasin tucked behind in a separate area.
There is an attic floor housing two redundant bedrooms now solely used for storage but could easily be redeveloped and turned into a large hobby/play room or convert to a five bedroom home.
The central heating is oil fired with a robust and reliable Veissmann Vitola boiler, regularly serviced and maintained, and has cast iron radiators throughout. There are also two electric heated towel rails and hot water is supplied via an off peak electric immersion tank, replaced 18 months ago. Due to the cost of electricity in France rising dramatically, some 28% in the last two years, and due to rise again when subsidies end in 2025, oil fired heating is no longer a comparatively cost-prohibitive fuel.
A Poele a Bois La Borne log burner in the tv lounge provides an output of 12kw and the chimney is swept annually.
The house is currently undergoing full connection to the town's main water and sewage system, further updating this historic property to meet with today's modern conformities.
Our house is much loved and being sold due to retirement and health issues only. Please only enquire if you are in a position to buy without delay. Thank you.
