See inside: A £47,000 renovated French cottage with a barn for sale

On the market with Leggett Immobilier for €54,000, this cute cottage in Haute-Vienne is the perfect lock-up and leave holiday home. It’s ready to be moved into and is located in a small hamlet near the market town of Bellac only 45 minutes from the international airport in Limoges.

This mid-terrace cottage offers one bedroom and a living space with a small kitchen and wood-burner, while outside to the rear of the property there’s a courtyard garden which is private and perfect for al fresco dining.

The property is fitted with double glazing and velux windows, and is connected to a communal drainage system – making it a relatively low-maintenance second home that would make a great holiday-let.

Subject to planning permission it might be possible to extend the cottage into the rear courtyard. The two-level barn across the lane may also have potential for development, and to the rear of it there is a garden that is big enough (600m2) for a generous vegetable patch.

This cute cottage is a perfect little get-away opportunity with no big maintenance costs, and could also be used as a permanent home for a single person or young couple.

Saint-Hilaire-la-Treille is a small commune in the Limousin, near Haute-Vienne’s departmental borders with Indre and Creuse.
