Cottage in Tranquil Location
Rural Area Between Two Small Towns
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
The 2 storey cottage is on a 'chemin rural' (country lane) with 3 cars and 10 cows each way each day. Its half acre orchard garden contains a large barn and an outbuilding. The views across the valley (mainly forested) below are superb. Access to the cottage via wooden steps to the south facing terrace which gives onto the front door. May through September the terrace is, subject to weather, suitable for use for nice outdoor meals (breakfast, supper). It may be too hot at mid-day. Parking on the opposite side of the barn from the house (who wants to look at their car?!). Sanas is between Juillac and Clairvivre, both of which have shops and petrol. Both are approximately 3 miles (5km) from Sanas. Documented local data (maps, etc.) will be in the cottage.

Owner profile
About the owner
I (Allan ) gave up my structural design consultancy in the UK in 1993 in order to try my hand at practising what I had been preaching ! The result is in Sanas and I am now working on two more houses , both in the Dordogne . One I live in , the other is a site . The work has given me plenty of "fun" experiences ( some headaches too ! ) and I will be happy to discuss them with any visitors who so wish it .
