Our home has been redecorated in recent years and is extremely well equipped. The kitchen leads directly onto our terrace where can eat throughout the year. The open plan sejour/salle a manger has a very large fireplace ( our main heating is underfloor ), a piano, English satelite TV, DVD and hi fi. The study looks up to the wood at the back ( where we hear the golden oriole and the cuckoo in spring ) and is a cool, quiet place to sit and browse through our many books. All the bedrooms are roughly the same size - about 16 sq. metres. Four have fitted wardrobes.
In the basement there is garage space for three cars, a laundry room, an atelier and a cave. There is also a treadmill and a weights machine, should you wish to exercise. Three adult bikes and one child's bike are available for your use. The outdoor annexe area has a large built-in barbecue and dining table for at least ten people. We have a covered table tennis area further down the garden.
There is ample space in the garden for lounging in the sun, snoozing in the shade or playing boules, badminton etc.
We are 2km from the small rural town of St Yrieix la Perche on the Haute-Vienne/Dordogne border, not far from the prehistoric sites of the Perigord and the renowned valley of the Dordogne. Limoges is 35 mins. drive to the north and Perigueux 50 mins. to the south west. Ours is a region of undulating countryside - woods, meadows and lakes, many of which have swimming beaches, supervised in the summer. Delightful and unspoilt rural France.
Since this is our home, we have an elderly, shy ginger cat, Georgie, and a rescued young female, Fifi, with her three offspring, for whom we will leave food etc. If you are cat lovers, our little feline family should enhance your holiday here! In view of this, we are extremely sorry that we cannot accept dogs.
