La Chouette
(The Barn Owl) is named after the previous resident who
now lives in a nearby building.
The house is 300 years old and is a traditional design for an artisan's
or farmer's house in this area. It has a wealth of original features
and has been renovated to a high standard. There is a double and
a triple bedroom - It sleeps 5 comfortably and with a sofa bed in
the living room this can be increased to 7 if necessary.
The entrance is via a flight of stone steps that leads to the shady
covered terrace with views over the garden and surrounding countryside.
The front door opens into into the spacious living room
with exposed beams and a solid chestnut wood floor.
There is a large traditional stone charentaise fireplace complete
with efficient wood-burning stove. |

Raised terrace provides shade
from the mid-day sun.

The original stone niche beside the fire was used for keeping
food hot. Fortunately the kitchen area is now comprehensively
equipped and includes a gas cooker with oven and grill, combined
refrigerator/freezer and a microwave.
The dining table seats 6 and there are two sofas in the sitting
area, either of which will convert to make an extra double bed.
