Description

Four bedrooms, two upstairs bathrooms, downstairs cloakroom, large kitchen/diner. The detached house has a private pool and walled garden and lies in a small hamlet in Charente, surrounded by fields and woods.

Floorplans are included in the photo gallery. Towels and swimming towels are provided. Our changeover day is Saturday.

Charming, detached 19th century Charentais long house which lies roughly midway between the medieval cities of Poitiers and Angoulême, in the middle of a stone-built hamlet deep in the French countryside.

The area around our house is pleasantly undulating, with small lanes lined with chestnut trees winding between fields of maize and sunflowers or through small woods. There is virtually no traffic on the roads and the area is ideal for cycling and walking. The villages and hamlets have limestone buildings with painted shutters and pantile roofs.

Inside

The main entrance to the house leads into the kitchen / dining room. This is a large room with fitted kitchen complete with dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, induction hob and electric fan oven. The farmhouse table has plenty of space around it for everyone to gather.

From the kitchen, you walk into the living room with wood burning fire, three sofas, television with Freesat digibox to receive UK television, plus Blu-ray DVD player and Sonos system suitable for streaming from eg Spotify. There is free high-speed fibre broadband with Wi-Fi

There is a further room containing a cloakroom and a laundry room containing washing machine, tumble dryer and sink.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms: the master room with king-size bed and en-suite bathroom (including bath with shower over), one double room, one twin room and one single room; as well as a large family shower room.

Outside

The south facing garden is mainly laid to lawn, but there is plenty of room to put the table and chairs in the shade of the mature trees if the sun gets too hot.
The gated 9m x 4m private swimming pool has Roman steps leading into a 90cm depth shallow end (the deep end is 2.1m).

If you want to go a little further afield and explore the region, our house is roughly an hour and a half from the sea at La Rochelle and about the same distance from the foothills of the Massif Centrale at Limoges. Angoulême to the south and Poitiers, plus the Futuroscope theme park, to the north are within easy reach. Saintes and Cognac, with its distilleries offering guided tours, lie to the south-west.

Comfortable rural well appointed house

By Mary on 10-Aug-2024

A real treasure in a truly rural and beautiful part of France. The house is well equipped. The size and depth of the pool is ideal for confident and timid swimmers and the water was clear throughout our 2 week stay.

Beautiful house in a peaceful area

By Emma Davis on 03-Aug-2024

Spent a fabulous week in this beautiful house with lovely gardens and a great pool. The house is gorgeous and so spacious - massive kitchen and cosy tv room and lovely bedrooms. Everything you could possibly need. We had a wonderful week in what is the perfect house for chilling or cycling around the quiet local area. Highly recommend!

Great house for a family holiday

By Patricia Timms on 27-Jul-2024

We very much enjoyed our stay. We found the house spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. The pool was perfect for our young grandchildren and we also benefited from it especially during the hot weather! The local area is well supplied with all the facilities we needed and easily accessible by both car and train.

A perfect French getaway

By Jo Millett on 20-Jul-2024

We loved staying in Grosbout. From the moment we arrived Peter and Sue made the house so welcoming, organised and like a home from home. We have two small children, but the house was set up perfectly for us. We visited the Vallée des Singes, Verteuil sur Charente and Lezay market on Peter's advice, all were excellent. We'd happily return to this magical house.

I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful break at your home in France. We enjoyed ourselves very much and had everything we needed at the house. The weather was beautiful and we loved the area. I also appreciate your time and energy messaging and checking all was ok for us.
