This recently completed, architect-designed, conversion of pretty stone buildings bordering the courtyard of a 167 year old Charentaise farmhouse comprises three generously proportioned gites and swimming pool set within a three acre parkland setting. The sympathetic conversion has ensured the retention of much character, charm and original features in the creation of three spacious, comfortable gites. Surrounded by fields of sunflowers and wheat, interspersed with woodland. The area is ideal for cycling and walking. We are, however, only 1 1/2 miles from the village of Sauze Vaussais which offers a wide range of facilities. La Chouette is a four bedroomed gite. L'Hirondelle may be let as either a 4 or 3 bedroomed gite. Le Roitelet can be let as either a 3 or 2 bedroomed gite.
