| Superb situation set on the banks of the Dordogne River in the quiet outskirts of the lively bastide town of Ste. Foy la Grande. The house itself sits on the riverbank, with its own stretch of river frontage and yet still very safe for children, as the main garden is totally enclosed with stone walls and imposing wrought iron gates and fencing, which also make the garden totally private and a superb haven for those wanting to retreat to the pool side on a hot summers day, after a busy morning in the local market, or an afternoon ' degustation ' at the local vineyard, which is owned by the owners of this house. Parking is off street in an enclosed courtyard. There is also a large garage for sheltered parking. A paved terrace with low walls and mature gardens surrounds a 12m x 6m swimming pool.
The house is comfortably furnished and typically French.
Accommodation comprises:
4/5 bedrooms - 3 of which look out on to the pool and across the river, and one with an en suite shower. The fourth looks out on to the side garden and the fifth, being a small single study / bedroom located just off from the living room. There are three doubles, one twin ( which could easily accommodate a third camp bed for children ) and a single.
The sitting room provides ample comfortable seating with large open fireplace, T.V/ Video and stereo music system. The large kitchen is fully equipped with a large fridge,cooker ( gas hob / electric oven ), microwave, dishwasher, freezer, toaster etc. There is a bathroom with a bath and shower over and a separate WC next door.
The outside pool terrace is accessed through the basement of the house, where there is a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron, ironing board, table football and various games for children. Outside there is a large dining terrace with garden furniture and barbecue, sun loungers around the pool and table tennis.
In all the situation of the house on the riverbank with its close proximity to a town with all amenities, the superb surrounding countryside and the location in general makes this an absolutely wonderful place for a holiday. |
