Description

A handsome and particularly spacious early 1800s Maison de Maitre, the principal house of the area, finely built and now sympathetically restored.

The accommodation has pleasingly generous proportions with large, light rooms on both floors with period features intact lending a timeless atmosphere. The main reception rooms have their original double doors set in line to create an appealing 'enfilade' running the full breadth of the house. Six bedrooms at the first floor can sleep twelve persons in comfort. At the rear, service areas and newly installed bathrooms have been carefully planned. The gardened areas are relatively low maintenance and the swimming pool is well sited in a separate area to the west.
