Neighbourhood
The house is located in a peaceful country hamlet set amidst rolling pastures and farm land, which was often popular subjects for the great landscape impressionists of the 19th Century.
The hamlet has 6 permanent homes and 2 homes owned by second home families.
In days gone by the village carved out clogs or 'sabots' in French, the origin of the hamlet's name 'Les Gouges'.
If ten vehicles pass through the hamlet per day, then it's a very busy day!
The small town of St Sulpice les Feuilles is 5 kms away and is very well catered for including a small supermarket with very friendly owners. There are 3 bakeries, 2 doctor's offices, pharmacy and clothes stores and several general stores etc.
8 Kms away is the larger town of La Souterraine which has Roman origins, with vestiges visible and available to tour underneath the medieval church.
Several large supermarkets are here along with DIY stores, garden centres, several cafés and restaurants, a cinema and a hospital clinic.
La Souterraine is well served by a main line railway station with trains running to Paris and even Barcelona in Spain.
Limoges is the largest city and has an international airport 40 minutes drive away and it connects the region with Paris, the UK and even North Africa for exotic breaks.
The house has a private aspect, allowing you to keep to yourself if you wish but has access to amenities and entertainment if you choose. An Ideally peaceful location without being isolated.
Great for accessing the rest of France and the rest of Europe as Spain is only 4 ½ hours drive away, Italy just over 5 hours and the channel ports are 7 hours. nearest skiing is a 2½ hours drive at Mont D'Or/Super Besse.
