Charente, Saint-Christophe

Renovation project: Charming countryside cottage with barn and garage on a sunny 2,383 m² plot – The most important work has already been done!

Are you a handy DIY enthusiast dreaming of owning a charming holiday home in France? Then this characterful countryside cottage (fermette) is exactly what you are looking for. Located in a friendly and peaceful hamlet, just a few minutes south of the picturesque village of Saint-Christophe (16420), this property offers the perfect balance between tranquility and accessibility. It is situated in the beautiful Charente department, right near the border of Haute-Vienne. The vibrant city of Limoges is only 40 kilometers away, and the nearby town of Saint-Junien is excellent for all your daily amenities and shopping needs.
Solid foundation: Roofs already renewed!
The absolute highlight of this renovation project? The roofs of both the cottage and the barn have recently been completely renewed! This means you are buying a watertight and structurally sound project, allowing you to start working on the interior straight away without worrying about major, costly roofing works.
Layout & Grounds:
The Cottage (81 m² + 12 m² extension): Currently comprises 4 rooms and an attic. A blank canvas to design and finish completely to your own taste as your perfect French holiday getaway. Electricity and water connections are already present on-site.
The Barn (50 m²): A beautiful semi-detached space divided into two compartments, boasting an impressive ridge height of 6.25 meters. It is perfect for use as a spacious workshop, artist's studio, or extra storage.
The Garage (22 m² + 8 m² carport): Conveniently located on the corner of the plot, ideal for parking a car or storing garden machinery.
The generous 2,383 m² plot is mostly situated at the front of the house, facing south-west to catch the sun all day long. The land is gently sloping, and the owner assures that the soil is 100% organic and highly fertile – ideal for creating a beautiful garden or a vegetable patch. While the front offers stunning, unobstructed views over the countryside, the rear of the house is nestled comfortably and privately within the hamlet.
In short: a manageable, straightforward renovation project in a prime location. Turn this into your very own French dream home!
