The Convent, as it is known, was built in 1878. It lies in a small but vibrant village in sunny southern Charente Maritime, 40 minutes from Bordeaux on an expressway and very close to St Emilion.
Having passed the electric gate (with interphone), the sigle story house is visible at the end of a gravel drive, bordered on either side by the well-designed and fully planted garden.
Several steps lead to the front door behind which there is a long, impressive entrance hall, with original terracotta tiling, leading right through the house to doors which open onto the garden behind.
The beamed entrance hall separates the day area of the house from the night area.
The large living area with three high windows that look out onto the garden, is an oasis of calm and luxury. A beautiful period stone fireplace completes the tasteful renovation and decoration.
The dining room lies between the living space and the fully equipped kitchen which also boasts an informal eating area and a bar.
The night area comprises an ensuite master bedroom, two other bedrooms. a second shower room and separate WC.
All the rooms in the house have direct access to the garden, and the paved terrace is perfect for outside eating during the sunny days.
The utility room; heating system washing machine etc, is also on the ground floor and has a door leading outside giving access to the garden and summer kitchen which could be transformed into separate accommodation
Grassy pathways allow visits to every corner of the exquisite garden, passing from the beautifully sculpted shrubs, amongst the hundred year old trees towards the closed circuit fountain or the gazebo which covers the well.
