Pictures are out of date and there are now new windows and doors and a large patio surrounding the pool and at the back of the house. On more than one occasion we have been told that the house and setting is better than expected. Lovely.

Owner profile
About the owner
We have owned our French House for four years.During that time we have added a swimming pool and developed the Forge.
In 2009 we began letting the house as a summer holiday home during the summer months.
We have enjoyed a very successful year and plan to add heating to the pool and fence off the garden so it is totally private in 2010.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We chose this area because we wanted a hot summer but not the intense heat found in the south of France.
The area is very picturesque and in the French countryside. Not too far from the popular beaches where it is very touresty. We enjoy the peace and privacy when staying in our French House.
Unique benefits of the property
We particularly look forward to some real French food in the local restaurants. Also, swimming daily in the pool.
