Notes on accommodation
Heating is by electric wall-mounted heaters and 2 wood burners. The stairs leading to the second floor (bedroom 5) are open tread. The house provides flexible accommodation in that there is a dividing door between bedrooms 1/2 and bedrooms 3/4/5 - so privacy among a large party can be achieved with separate accommodation in each side of the house. There is also a hallway on the Ground Floor between the lounge and kitchen/diner which allows for an evening to continue in one part of the house without disturbing children or other members in your party.
Accessibility
There are stair gates. The property is regrettably not wheelchair friendly.
Outside
There is a pleasing courtyard area, perfect for boules/pétanque with garden of similar size, covering an area of approx 600 m2, all enclosed with the private use of a 7.3m x 3.7m steel-framed above-ground pool (open end May - mid Sept), which is accessed from the south-facing decking area and barbecue. There are lamps lighting the courtyard. There is also garden furniture, a garden bench and swings. A 250 year old oak tree and the village church dominate the view from the garden. Off-road parking area for up to 3 cars is next to the garden.

About the owner
We have holidayed in France for many years and moved here in 2002 with our young children, who are now teenagers. The space, the empty roads, the welcoming locals, coastline and, of course, cuisine were all strong reasons for the decision to make our home here.
