Set in a tiny hamlet on the borders of the Dordogne & Haute Vienne, close to the lakes of haute Charente, with beautiful spacious grounds and surrounded by rolling countryside, this spacious property (circa 1900) sleeps a total of 26 people. The private main house is a beautifully converted barn and there are two spacious gites, one of which is a traditional farmhouse and the other a converted stone barn. Both letting properties have private pools and there is also a private car park, a garage, a wood shed and a cattery with 7 enclosures, housing up to 3 cats each.

The property has undergone extensive renovation over the last four years, to create a lovely character ensemble and thriving letting business.
