A rustic holiday home near Paris could be yours for £50,000

If you’ve always wanted to own a picturesque holiday home, how does a rustic cottage in France for £50,000 sound?

A new property listing has made the dream of owning a house abroad more of a reality – thanks to its rather reasonable price (in terms of the world of property, at least).

The two-bed cottage, located in Bessines-Sur-Gartempe, Limousin – a short drive from Paris – boasts incredible views of the valley towards Bersac-sur-Rivalier. It’s up for sale at £51,948 and is in pretty great condition – making it a real gem.

With two external doors, you can either enter the home from the upper or ground floor.

Upstairs you’ll find a kitchen with lovely garden views and a living room with charming features such as a fireplace. There’s also a bedroom on this level that’s big enough for a king-size bed, as well as a family bathroom.

Whereas the ground floor is home to a dressing room, the second bedroom, a utility room and storage.

This second bedroom opens up onto the patio and garden, which features lots of shady spots and an area for growing veg. There’s also private off-street parking outside.

This rustic cottage is just 1.3km away from the nearest village and the town square of Bessines-Sur-Gartempe, which boasts quaint shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars. So there’s plenty to get up to during your holiday.

The property is currently up for sale with Leggett and there’s no denying the stunning house would be a lovely option for trips away with family and friends – or even could be used for a writer’s retreat. Writing with views of the French countryside sounds pretty dreamy, after all.
