Property Details
The property has been renovated and furnished to a very high standard whilst retaining many original features such as exposed beams and original flooring. The 2ft thick stone walls of the property keep the house lovely and cool during the heat of the summer months and retain a surprising amount of heat during the winter
The house is set on 2 floors, on the ground floor you enter the main door into a large kitchen diner with an open log fire and ample seating for 6 people. There is a downstairs WC, basin and shower room off the kitchen. The lounge is on a split level and has 2 piece suite, log burner, satellite TV and DVD player with a selection of DVD's and hi-fi system again with a selection of CD's.
The lounge has large French doors which open out onto the first terrace and swimming pool. Outside the French doors there is a covered area with overhead grape vine, ideal for sitting and testing the local wines. The pool is a plunge pool about 5m x 3m and 1.5m (6ft) deep all the way across, so supervision of young children is advised, although the pool is alarmed. At the end of the first terrace, some stairs lead down onto the second terrace which has direct access to the river. Ideal for fishing should you fancy a quiet afternoon in the sunshine. There is also a charcoal BBQ on this terrace. Be warned, the rear of the property gets sunshine all day, it gets hot! The Poitou Charente’s region is second only to the Cote d'Azur in relation to sunshine hours per year.
