Bradascou
property details
for a Hub House co-operative coliving project

Environment ✧ deep wooded little river valleys and rolling agricultural

Services ✧ all ; supermarket 20mins along lane

Access ✧ station next door: Paris 4h direct; airports: Brive 35mins, Limoges 1h

Area ✧ delightful little medieval town with ancient buildings on a hillock around which the river bends
✦ climate is a bit drab but very pretty little town and locality with riverfront parkland
✦ couple of short strolls from the door around, connecting to the river valley which offers 1h walks up or down and up to 4h for biking though involving quite a few section of lanes and limited variations, yet the option of returning by train
✦ tennis, kayak (world championships held nearby), SUP and raft
✦ the landscape is unadventurous, however the next train stop offers some wooded hills
✦ lots of horse riding, and the next little town has a famous hippodrome
✦ tiny organic shop, several supermarkets including organic, brewery and weekly market; good restos, cafe and pub
✦ "graffiterie" in the old paper factory
✦ 45min bike on greenway to swimming lake and next town
✦ one small city: Limoges 40mins train (last 10pm!) [really 1h access]; airport year-round to Marrakesh, Stansted, Manchester, Midlands; Toulouse/Bordeaux 3h30 changing; Barcelona connection is labourious but better once the direct Toulouse route returns (thus 2 changes)
✦ one good town: Brive 25mins train (last 8pm) [really 45mins access]; airport year-round to Porto and Stansted (35mins drive)
✦ the station is a bit far to make outings to these worthwhile, thus scooters/bikes would be required; similarly for the supermarkets (there's no corner shop, just a tiny organic shop); however driving to the towns takes the same time thus makes them more accessible
✦ one small town: Tulle 35mins bus (last 8:45pm)

Property ✧ sold for 50k
✦ private sale possible
✦ parts in usable condition having been redone about 15 years ago
✦ ugly building with standout position next to bridge and overlooking river, great for murals
✦ no land but could have a west balcony or two added
✦ ground floor is garages great for conversion to common spaces, similarly the basement which has windows at the back and side
✦ the neighbour (likely aged) has tiny house with an unmaintained 120m2 garden onto which the basement connects, no doubt could arrange to beautify for themin return to use, or possibly even purchase
✦ parcel 4
✦ there's a 480m2 parcel adjoining the river with a path down next door that would make a lovely garden
