Property Description

Situated in the heart of the HAUTE VIENNE - Limousin countryside in total privacy and calm is this lovely property and former watermill in need of updating and the possibility of restoring the watermill as all internal workings are still in place with 12394m² of attached land bordering river.

The old millers' house comprises on the Ground floor an entrance hall, a large kitchen with fireplace and wood-burning stove (living room), a sitting room, small storeroom. Beautiful wooden staircase, landing with exit behind the house on one level. A few steps lead up to 3 bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and WC. Bathroom on the landing serving the bedrooms, then a separate WC on another landing before access to a 4th bedroom in the attic.

Adjoining the house is a boiler room with 2 boilers: one oil-fired and one wood-fired. There is a pump for outside watering and a washing machine.

Some of the windows have been replaced with double-glazed PVC, others are original, the septic tank is non-conforming and a new one will be required. The lovely old watermill itself is built out of stone and is in excellent condition, the mill run and race still works just needs some maintenance, the wheel has long gone, however, this is just the wheel as all the other workings are complete and operational once a new wheel is installed, maybe ideal to produce hydroelectricity, next to the mill are two attached barns and old piggery. The land is a pleasure to walk bordered by the river with lots of waterfalls and cascading water.

The property is situated just 10 minutes from the A motorway and 35 minutes to the airport of Limoges, with train access 15 mins drive away to get to Paris. Nearest town is Saint Sulpice Les Feuilles with all town facilities.
