You enter the house via the farmhouse-style kitchen fitted with gas hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher. To one end of the building is the large, dual-aspect lounge with satellite TV (with UK freeview TV/radio channels), DVD and video player, and a wood-burning stove. Doors lead out onto a covered terrace with a teak table and chairs and extensive views of the garden - a lovely place to while away an hour or two, particularly with a glass of the local wine!

There is a very large bedroom above the lounge which has 2 x 2m zip and link beds. These can be configured as either 2 full-size single beds or a superking double. The master bedroom, on the same level but at the other end of the house, features original beams and has its own en suite shower room. The other two bedrooms are on the ground floor off a corridor leading from the kitchen. Again, both bedrooms are large and have 2 x 2m zip and link beds. The ground floor bathroom has a bath and separate shower, WC and washbasin.

The house also has a utility room, containing a washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing board and iron. A door from here leads directly into the main garden.

The gîte opens into a living/dining area with many original features including pierre apparente and tuffeau walls (both typical of the area), a terracotta floor and a small woodburning stove. There is a sofa and easy chairs, a satellite TV (with UK freeview TV/radio channels) and DVD player. French windows open onto a private patio area, where you can sit and enjoy al fresco dining. From the lounge you step through an arch into the fully-fitted kitchen, which includes a fridge/freezer, gas hob, electric oven, microwave, washing machine and slimline dishwasher.

The master bedroom is on the ground floor and has a king-size bed and en suite bathroom. Upstairs you will find 2 large bedrooms (oak and pine) and a shower room with toilet. Both bedrooms have 2 x 2m zip and link beds which can be configured as either twin beds or a superking double.
