We are delighted to offer for sale this elegant Manor House, located in the town of Bellac. This grand property was originally owned by a family with a business interest in the local tannery.

Built over three floors, with approximately 300m2 of living space plus a large south-facing garden of around 2000m2, this home is ideal for a family or a holiday home with ample guest accommodation or for a Chambre d'hote (BandB) to provide income potential. The entrance to the house is via a beautiful hallway. This opens to large lobby area from which all parts of the house can be accessed. The lobby still retains the original wall-hung telephone system which was designed to make direct calls to the tannery. Opposite the lobby a doorway opens into a comfortable lounge which contains a beautiful marble fireplace as the room's centrepiece. The lounge is connected to a lovely dining room - via internal 'French' doors - which can also be accessed separately from the lobby.
