6 Bed House & large Outbuildings - €215,650 (£176,762)

This lovely complex of buildings is situated about one mile from the centre of the popular small market town of Preuilly sur Claise. At the end of a small road, which serves these buildings & a working cereal farm, the route beyond the courtyard becomes a private track, with only a right of access by the farmer to a part of his land.
The complex consists of two houses, a bread oven a large barn, all in good structural order & with renovation almost completed on one house, with only minor finishing required.
Septic tank systems to current standards have recently been installed, sufficient for 8 bedrooms & a new driveway serving the restored house.

FARMHOUSE
This building has been partly renovated & consists of, on the ground floor, an entrance hall (with concrete stairs to the first floor), a large room (with fireplace, bread oven, exposed beams & clay tiled floor), area for kitchen & adjoining store/utility, room planned as boiler room under stairs, corridor, w/c, bathroom (not fitted out) & 2 double bedrooms. The stairs lead to a partially converted loft area, with 2 large rooms either side of a landing, which would form 2 bedrooms (with space for en suite bathrooms).
The renovation to date includes concrete floors downstairs, plaster boarding between beams, partitioning, some rewiring & plumbing, re-roofing & a light concrete floor upstairs.
BARN/STABLES
This building is approximately 100msq, on the ground floor & faces the farmhouse across the courtyard. The building appears structurally sound, has a very good roof & a convertible loft.
This property is situated on higher ground, overlooking the farm complex & has some lovely views. Probably constructed about 1900, the building would appear to structurally sound but needs total internal renovation.
GROUNDS
Below the restored house is a bread oven that needs re-roofing & structural repair.
The buildings sit in their individual plots & there is a total of 64,833m² of adjoining fields, woods & a lake of approximately 3,000msq. There are 2 private tracks through the woods, with various outbuildings & hunting access points. Adjoining the lake is a 12msq wooden chalet & this used to be part of a hunting estate, with areas used for the raising of ‘sanglier’ (wild boar).
This property has the potential to form a Gite complex, with plenty of land to add sporting & nature attractions. The only problem that should be considered before visits is that the property co-exists with a working cereal farm, which is part of the courtyard & has rights of access over parts of the property.
