Charentaise Farmhouse.

As soon as you drive through the wrought iron gates, you know that you have come to a haven of peace and tranquillity. The 10' wall provides the property with complete privacy and the large gardens have many shady spots to enjoy quiet moments. There is an orchard to the side, with fruit trees including figs, cherries and walnuts. At the rear of the property the private pool is surrounded by a terrace and is next to a covered area, perfect for barbecues and outdoor dining. The house is well equipped to a high standard - a home away from home. As well as a farmhouse-style kitchen there is a large utility room. We have two salons (or sitting rooms). One is open plan to the dining room (separated by 3 steps) and has an open fire, a TV with satellite channels, and DVD player. The second salon has another TV and a small table for board games. Open stairs from the dining room take you to a mezzanine level with full size French billiard table and bookshelves with lots of English novels.
