Dam Workers House from the 1930's

Property Description

Perched on the side of the Truyère valley, this property is two houses in one. Originally built in the 1930's as semi detached houses for the workers employed to build the Sarrans dam. Both sides are identical and offer, at entrance level, a porch and a hallway, a small kitchen, a dining room of 14m², a living room of 14m² and a wc. On the first floor, 2 bedrooms of 14m² and 19m² and a shower room. There is a utility area, a cellar and a garage underneath each side. Note there is no.access to the garage for a vehicle. Separate small garage 150 metres distant. The house is in a cul de sac and not overlooked. The sloping garden of half an acre stretches down the hillside and at the end offers a view of the dam and the lake below. Mature fruit trees and a brick built hen house, plenty of room for vegetables and animals! Habitable but in need of modernisation. Electric heating, septic tank drainage (not to standard). Single glazing. Charged with history, it would make a great principal residence with a gîte next door, or two holiday homes for friends or family. Beautiful region for walking and touring - fishing and water sports on the doorstep. Aurillac is the nearest big town at 52 kms, but all shops and services available in Sainte Geneviève or Mur de Barrez. Work needed, but good value for money!
