Spacious Charentais Farmhouse

Dating from about 1900, this Charentaise farmhouse is situated in a tiny hamlet among fields of sunflowers and vineyards, set back off a minor road. Careful and tasteful restoration has resulted in a very appealing house, charmingly arranged to provide a very high standard of accommodation. A mixture of traditional and contemporary furnishings combine with exposed stone and beamed ceilings to give a comfortable ‘country’ ambience and the whole is impeccably kept. A beautiful covered terrace (approximately 4m50 x 8m) provides a sheltered area for outdoor meals, while beyond is a colourful garden of some 900m² with lawn and lovely flowering shrubs. The owner`s family live in a converted barn nearby, beyond which in the field is found their pet donkey 'Oscar' after whom they have named the gite 'Ferme d'Oscar'. The setting is private (the nearest neighbour is about 10m to the rear of of the property but no windows overlook the garden) and peaceful.
