Continuing upstairs, another staircase leads to the second floor, which houses an insulated attic space of over 40 square meters. That’s a good amount of extra room for storage or whatever else you might need.

Outside, the garden is mostly a flat lawn dotted with mature shrubs. The garage is attached to the house and can be accessed from the boiler room, making it convenient. The heating system is a combination of an air pump and a pellet burner. Recent work has been done on the insulation and the roof, and as mentioned, most of the windows are double-glazed.

Village Life and Local Amenities

This house is situated in a village that seems to have a lively community spirit. There are local festivals held during the summer months, and other evening events happen throughout the year. The village boasts a bakery that also functions as a cake shop and tea rooms, drawing visitors from surrounding areas. For daily needs, the small market town of La Coquille is just a five-minute drive away. Here, you’ll find a supermarket, a train station, a bank, a medical center, a butcher, a newsagent, and places to eat and drink. Every Thursday morning, there’s a local market in the town square, right by the church.

The village’s location is also a plus. It sits between the larger cities of Limoges and Perigueux, conveniently located just off the N21 road. Both Limoges and Perigueux are dynamic cities with universities and hospitals. Limoges also has an airport that serves low-cost airlines, making travel to the UK straightforward. The surrounding region is quite popular, especially in the summer. It offers opportunities for walking and cycling trails, fishing, and there are man-made beaches at local lakes. Plus, there are historical villages in the vicinity to explore. It sounds like there’s a good variety of activities to suit different interests.
