If Rat, Mole and Toad had visited this house they would have been amazed by the quality of the renovation work. News would have spread like wildfire among the river folk! The current owners use it as a luxurious holiday home and the location is stunning: looking down onto the river Clain, yet less than five minutes from the village with its excellent facilities and well-renowned restaurant.
The kitchen and living room are vast (each is 35m²), taking up most of the ground floor space between them. Both have traditional tiled floors and exposed beams. The kitchen has a lovely open fire, perfect for winter evenings. There is a modern shower room with WC on each floor. In addition, the first floor offers three double bedrooms – one of which is enormous – a dressing room, and a small study or spare single bedroom. These rooms and the landing all have practical (though less traditional) laminate flooring. There is a garage and a wine cellar, the latter accessed from outside.
The property is surrounded by delightful gardens, including a secluded patio area and barbecue. There is an open barn for wood storage and direct access to the river bank.
The nearby village of Sommières, a three minute drive away, has a popular restaurant, bar, mini-supermarket, chemist, baker, and doctor’s surgery. Supermarket shopping is at Gençay (12 kms.).© |
