Creuse - Charming 3-Bed Character Cottage with Detached Renovation Project Near la Souterraine

Property Description

Set in a peaceful hamlet just minutes from the historic market town of La Souterraine, this charming three-bedroom mid-terrace cottage combines character, comfort, and exciting potential. In addition to the beautifully renovated main house, the property also includes a separate detached cottage for complete renovation ? ideal for a guest house, gîte, workshop, or additional storage.
The main cottage has been sympathetically restored, retaining many original features including exposed beams, stone walls, and a magnificent fireplace with wood-burning stove. Arranged over three levels, the accommodation offers warm and inviting living spaces throughout.
The ground floor features a spacious open-plan living and dining area with a fitted kitchen, creating a sociable and characterful heart to the home. The striking stone fireplace and exposed timbers add to the cottage's authentic charm.
On the first floor is a generous bathroom complete with a roll-top bath and shower attachment, separate walk-in shower, wash basin, bidet, WC, and heated towel rail. The principal bedroom is also located on this floor and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe.
The top floor offers a further large double bedroom with Velux window, sink, and WC, along with a third bedroom currently used as a home office, also with a Velux window.
Outside, the property enjoys attractive and private outdoor spaces. To the front is a charming garden area with space for a table and chairs ? perfect for enjoying a morning coffee in the sunshine. To the rear, a spacious courtyard with partially decked seating area provides an excellent setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. An awning offers shade during the warmer months, while a beautiful mature wisteria drapes over the wooden pergola, creating a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere. There is also a useful cellar/storage area.
The property benefits from double glazing throughout and is heated via electric radiators and the wood-burning stove. The septic tank is unlikely to meet current regulations; an inspection report will be provided, and the asking price reflects the work required.
The detached cottage, requiring complete renovation, comprises two floors of approximately 15m² each, together with a storage area, wood store, and private garden. This additional building presents excellent potential for further accommodation or a holiday rental project, subject to the necessary permissions.
Ideally located just a 12-minute drive from the train station at La Souterraine, the property enjoys convenient access to regular rail services to Paris, Limoges, and the south of France. The vibrant medieval town offers a full range of amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, healthcare services, DIY stores, and more, while the surrounding countryside provides exceptional walking routes and far-reaching rural views.
A delightful character home with enormous charm and further potential in a beautiful countryside setting.
