The property is a beautiful old farmhouse in the traditional style of the region, with a high 'Perigourdine' roof, and solid, stone walls that keep the interior cool during the summer. The property has been completely renovated inside and out during the last two years, and the high standard of internal decoration reflects this. There are numerous period features including interior exposed stone walls and beams, and it is furnished to high standards to ensure your holiday is as comfortable as possible. The property has spacious accommodation, including a large kitchen / dining room with a newly installed fitted kitchen, a 'farmhouse' table to comfortably seat eight people and a cool terracotta tiled floor. Also downstairs there is a separate comfortably furnished large lounge, with exposed stone walls and ceiling beams, comfortable settees and TV (French language only!) and a DVD / CD player. There are four bedrooms (one downstairs) - one of which has an en-suite shower room - and each with double or twin beds. There is also a family bathroom (upstairs). Downstairs there is also a separate WC, and a utility area with a washing machine, a dishwasher, and a second oven. There is a large private garden, including several fruit trees (help yourself - how many peaches can you eat?!), and seating area with table and chairs for outdoor eating and living. This outdoor seating area faces south, and is not overlooked by (or within hearing distance of) the terrace for the other gite at the property. The garden also contains swings for the children, and plenty of space for frisbees or boules etc The large swimming pool (12 metres * 6 metres), surrounded by terrace, a lawn area and gardens has views over open countryside and is always a very popular area during the summer. It is shared with La Glycine and occasional use by the owners. The pool is open June - September, weather permitting. The pool is both fenced and alarmed, in compliance with the new safety regulations in France. The property is found on a small hill two kilometres from the beautiful little town of Villereal, which has all shops, banks, restaurants and other facilities.
