This stunning 4-bed home, previously a C17th fortified house, is poised in a commanding position overlooking the valley below. Sympathetically renovated to the highest standard the property retains original stone walls, a reminder of its historic past. The elegantly contrasting kitchen-diner has floor-to-ceiling glass walls giving stunning views of surrounding woodland. Though from the kitchen, a cosy lounge with a fireplace opens into a larger reception room with space for a huge dining table. At the end of this room, a strategic picture window gives an unobstructed view of the nearby Chateau de Jumilhac. The splendid first floor reception room with its arched fireplace has stunning bespoke library bookcases. A bedroom with a tall sun-drenched window leads off the library. A staircase lead up to 3 more lovely bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside, a detached double garage is surrounded by lawns and flowers up to the edge of the grassy escarpment with its stunning views.
This stunning property in Jumilhac-le-Grand benefits from double glazing throughout, gas central heating, mains drainage and a village centre location with a view of the fabulous Chateau de Jumilhac. Renovation works in this historic stone property have achieved a noteworthy energy performance rating of C. Amenities in Jumilhac-Le-Grand include a bakery, two bar-restaurants, a butcher, a convenience store, a doctor, a pharmacy, a hairdresser, and a car mechanic. Descend into the valley for beautiful river walks.
Ground floor
Entrance hall (5,4m2)
Enter the property from the garden into the entrance hall. Original stonework abounds. Stairs down to the right lead to the cellar, while stairs on the left lead to the upper floors. Straight ahead, to mount a few steps up into the impressive dining room.
Dining room (31,4m2)
As you enter from the hallway, the room opens up to the left and right of you offering a great space for a huge dining table for feasts with friends. To the left, a strategic picture window gives an unobstructed view of nearby Chateau de Jumilhac. This is the perfect spot to snuggle down in an armchair with a book, or to listen to music while you admire the view. At the right end of the room, an area to one side is the lounge
lounge (3,3m x 3,2m = 11,1m2)
Contrasting with the generous proportions of the dining room, the lounge is a cosier space full of comfortable seating around a warming fireplace. Open and adjoining each other, these two rooms perfectly mix a formal dining area with family comfort.
Kitchen-diner (6m x 3,4 = 20,2m2 )
Through from the lounge and dining room, one enters this stunning room which is the most recent addition to the property. Floor to ceiling windows flood this relaxed dining space with panoramic views of nature and bright sunlight. In the kitchen area, sleek L-shaped units and a central island contrast beautifully with honey-coloured wooden beams. A mezzanine above the kitchen looks down over the dining area.
Pantry (5,7m x 2,1m = 11,8m2)
Through from the kitchen, a useful pantry gives plenty of additional kitchen storage, and a rear entrance to the property. A staircase leads to the kitchen mezzanine (11,9m2), a flexible space that could be used as an office, a quiet hobby room, or a spare bed space if needed.
Shower room (2m x 1,7m = 3,4m2))
Convenient downstairs toilet and wash facilities fitted with a shower, a toilet and a sink.
First floor
As one climbs a time-worn stone staircase to the first floor, the building’s historic origins are all around you to see and enjoy. Original features have been preserved including an old stone privy! The main feature of the first floor is the Library
library (4,7m x 7,3m = 33,9m2)
This splendid room with its high ceilings and expansive size takes up the majority of the first floor. Original stonework continues to be a feature, with the huge arched fireplace at one end of the room taking pride of place. This room has beautiful bespoke wooden bookshelves along one wall which provide an additional point of focus. With enough space for several distinct areas, this room is flexible in its uses and would make a fabulous games room as well as a library.
Bedroom 1 (13,2m2)
Accessed from the library and with the same high ceilings, this bright airy bedroom has a tall window with lovely woodland views. A partition wall discreetly hides a large storage area behind the bed.
Second floor
A further staircase leads up from the library to the second floor where you find three lovely bedrooms, a bathroom and a WC. All of the bedrooms feature original structural roof beams which enhance the historic aesthetique.
Bedroom 2 (11,8m2) A large velux window gives forest views and fills the room with sunlight.
Bedroom 3 (8,1m2, further space under a sloping ceiling) Suitable for a double bed, has a bright velux window.
Bedroom 4 (8,5m2, further space under a sloping ceiling) Suitable for a double bed, has a bright velux window.
Bathroom (3,7m x 1,7m = 5,1m2, further space under a sloping ceiling)
Fitted with a shower cubicle, a corner bath, a bidet and a sink set into a countertop with storage underneath. A freestanding unit provides further storage. There is a separate WC (2m2).
Old pigeonnier store (2m2)
This original dovecote with its patterned stone floor has been retained and preserved, now a useful storage room. Accessed from the library.
Cellar (7,3m x 3,1m = 22,7m)
Accessed from the entrance hall, this original cellar with its arched stone ceiling is the ideal space for wine storage.
Land & garden (3613m2)
Approaching the house, you pass a detached double garage (37,1m2) which also has a generous loft space for storage. The garden up until the house is flat and mostly laid to lawn with flower beds around the edges. A secure barrier separates the lawned areas from the steeply sloping terrain, held in place by a retaining wall which gives the property its commanding position over the valley. A lower flat garden has lovely dappled shade from silver birch trees. Primroses and orchids adorn the grass.
