New Price – in Central France – a typical stone french ‘longère’ (ie farmhouse + barn, outbuildings and 1543sq m of land), artistically renovated, double glazed and insulated, with possibilities of 3 to 6 bedrooms, and which could become a home work base, a business entreprise or a lovely family home. We have loved living here and are moving reluctantly, because of age; down-sizing and moving nearer family.
The property is situated on the boundary of the beautiful rolling countryside called the ‘Combrailles’. Stunning rural views alround, we are 1 1/2 miles from the village , and 9 mins, 4.6 miles(7.4k) from the small town of St Eloy les Mines. Here, there are shops, schools, medical centres etc. We are also 14 mins, 8 miles (13k) from the town of Commentry and 25 mins, 15 miles (25k) from the city of Montlucon. Motorways are 20 or 35mins, leading to all regions of France.
The tour begins! Entering via the remarkable front gates, you arrive in the front garden with parking space for up to six cars. The front door enters into a small ‘sas’ with the downstairs shower room/toilet to the right. The sas gives onto the the main living space, for us: a dining room (3.80 x 4.24 ), with it’s Italian ceramic wood-stove (8.5kw); an archway to the fully fitted kitchen (3.45 x3.50) with extra wide granite work surfaces; to the right a lounge /reception room (3.90 x 4.40)with parquet floor.
Leading out of the dining room, to the left, is the utility room (3.75 x 3.00) and our inside workshop/office space. Between these two areas is the original bread oven, which we kept as it forms part of the cultural heritage of this region. Not in use at present; it is possible to renovate.
Stairs going up out of the kitchen bring you to a large open landing with it’s cathedral ceiling. Very spacious, it is an office space, library and photo gallery for us (3.70 X 5.10 , height 3.65 ).
Leading off this 1st floor space is: the large shower room 2.90 x 2.70, and 2 huge bedrooms, each approx 4m x 8m. Another staircase leads to the 2nd floor and a 3rd bedroom of approx 4 X 8. These 3 extra large bedrooms have each been created by bringing two rooms together, because we like space and light, but could easily be redivided to give up to 6 regular sized bedrooms each measuring approx 4m X 4m.
One of these two big bedrooms on the first floor is, at present, a large tv/computer lounge; it has under-floor heating, a wood pellet stove and 8 built-in storage cupboards. It could make a great space for a young adult or a ‘granny- annex’.
Heating systems vary from space to space, with the wood stoves, underfloor heating and hot/cold airconditioners in several rooms. We tend to heat the space we use as we need it whilst the ceramic stove gives a general all round heating.
The full glass back door leads out from the kitchen onto a large semi-circular patio and pergola ( so choose your sun or your shade!). Another door leads to a storage room called the ‘écuerie’ (horse stable), which in turn leads into the barn .
The barn measures12.20 x 8m, the high steel doors and concreted entrance can house a camper-van/ vehicle and the raised wooden floor, 8x8m was totally replaced in 2014. The barn offers many possiblilities for developement. For us it has been a barn-dance, ceiliidh, music festival space/ play/ fitness area – over to you for future ideas! Under the barn is a workshop measuring 8m x 8m, where much of our renovation work was brought to life, and a vaulted cave (cellar) 8.0 x 3.50m. In the cave, we have water-storage facilities for watering the garden during the summer months. Water is pumped up and stored from the overflow of the garden well and rainwater.
Going outside, in the front garden there is an independant garage, to the side of the house there are wood storage facilities and raised vegetable beds. The long back garden has two outbuildings 10.60 x 3,20m and a carport, 4.30 x3,20m, which, for us, houses our garden machinery. We have a large variety of fruit trees, apple, plum, cherry, pear, fig, kaki, kiwi, walnut. Fruit bushes : yellow and red raspberry, josta berry, black and red-currants, goji berries and blueberries. We had a very fertile vegetable garden 13 X 13m and strawberry patch 2X 13 m .There is easily enough garden left to build a swimming pool if wanted! Mature flower borders and rose arches complete the picture.
The property is on mainswater and a septic tank which eventually will have to be brought up to european norms. The roof was totally replaced in 2012.
The Des diagnostics were done on 04/04 2024 and the rating is C and the Ges rating, A .
