We are selling our fully registered French farm with land/large barn set in a private lane with only one other house on the road is a small cottage, owned by an elderly British lady who has been very helpful to us. The registration can be changed easily to a new owner. If farming is discontinued, it can be canceled - there is no charge for registration.
We are not that remote as supermarkets, medical facilities, vets, and schools are located at 5 miles in two directions.
Reason for sale: to retire from farming, looking to downsize; we are now in our 70s
There is planning permission for 2 houses to be constructed on the land.
Connected Solar panels on the south-facing side of the house operate through cloud cover as well as direct sun. This is feeding back into the grid but a separate battery can divert to fully run the house.
We have ceramic heating in the kitchen as an efficient and clean heating method.
The house has a huge lounge and kitchen both 25 sq. Meters. White goods are built into the kitchen. (Washing machine and dishwasher). A 5-point Gas (bottle) hob/large electric oven )
The kitchen has a large, built-in walk-in larder and many useful cupboards.
On the ground floor, there is a large bedroom and adjoining shower room/bathroom/separate toilet on the ground floor. Upstairs there are three huge bedrooms and two bathrooms (one adjoining a bedroom with ensuite and dressing room). One "bedroom" is currently being used as an office.
The house is 200 years old and there is also a completely separate part of the house attached for conversion. Currently only used for storage space.
On the land, not included in field space, we have a large, walled garden with a water and electric supply in a small shed, attached to the house but in the garden. This was used by us as a vegetable garden and for our large on-ground swimming pool. (Now dismantled)
To the side of this, we have a large gate leading to a large off-road parking (hard standing area) for cars/caravans/etc) this driveway continues on to our very large barn with a concrete floor and a high ceiling to reduce the summer heat.
We have a full diagnostic of the property done professionally. This included 48-hr mid-week sound check (cows moo-ing) but little else. There is a quarry nearby, that in the late 1990s reached the road but this was finished and was replaced with huge embankments and two small newly built houses at the end of the road (as yet unoccupied). The quarry now operates over 2 miles south and no noise was recorded in a 48 hr mid-week sound check (included in the diagnostics, a (necessary legal document on all facets of a property for sale) available on request). The diagnostics also revealed a large electrical usage. We paid attention to this, and as a result, installed solar panels to the south-facing wall, now feeding into the grid but can be directly used for battery adaptation. This adaptation information was provided to Enerdis, the controlling energy board that has to register any gas/electrical changes to properties. Part of the house but divided by a locking door is a two-story unconverted part of the house that could provide a separate gite or more living space. This is currently just used as storage area and as direct access to the fields/animals. There are locking doors at the entrance to this area at both ends.
Directly opposite, on our road, we face a large hay barn and cow barn/fields belonging to our friendly French farmer-neighbour. Adjacent to the fields on the same side of the house is a small cottage - the only other house on the road. (Another British lady). . We have also replaced our old log burner in the kitchen with energy-efficient ceramic heaters.
The land slopes slightly, to the top but there are three flat fields. There is a well with water suitable for animal consumption only. We kept pigs and a few cows, turkeys, and chickens for the last 8 years. We also had a couple of cows and their calves (we bred) . The animals are all now all sold, except for a few pet geese and a stray rescue goat.!
There is also a small pond on the grazing land. Plucking machines and boiler remain in place in the barn..
There is planning permission to build two houses in the corner of one of the fields, adjacent to electrical and water points on the road.
Local shops and health centres, vets, etc. Are 5 miles equidistant to us at Roumazieres-Loubert and Chabanais respectively. Larger shopping centres at St. Junien and Angouleme are easily reached via the routes national. Please contact to arrange a viewing or for more information/pictures
