No2. PalmTree Holiday Cottage
A lovely mixture of exposed stone, original beams, double height ceiling and modern open plan living with large windows giving maximum light.
Recently converted from a stone barn, which is attached to the cottage next door, it was built around 1880 and retains many original features along side modern facilities and good insulation.
In the heat of the Charentaise summer the interior of the house provides cool relief due to the 60 cm thick solid stone walls and double glazing.
Please note that this great little cottage has a kingsize bed on the mezzanine with a tiny bunk-room adjoining via a curtained doorway. Great for a couple with pre-teens.
Gorgeous No 2 PalmTree Cottages was one of the original barns on our little estate built between 1875 and 1900. It was used as a working building until Mark converted it in 2016.
Inside you have open plan living with kitchen, dining and sitting areas divided up nicely by the spiral staircase. Most mod cons are available in the kitchen with gas cooker, microwave, large fridge freezer and washing machine. This leads to a dining area and a lounge area with UK and French TV. Off the salon is the ground floor shower room with loo and utility area. Many of the walls have been left exposed giving lots of charentaise character and a double height ceiling.
The cottage also has great WiFi throughout thanks do dedicated fibre broadband.
A large mezzanine floor bedroom, with a very comfortable king-size bed and Tempur mattress, is accessed by the generous spiral staircase. A large window gives commanding views over the garden and countryside beyond as you lie in bed. On this floor there is also a small bunk room which is big enough to house a full size bunk-bed, shelving unit and hangers, but not much else. Perfect for the kids.
Outside you have a breakfast terrace and private garden with shady eating spot and views. The path beside a pergola with wisteria and roses leads to the off road car park. This in turn leads to the one hundred meter long shared garden. Here you'll find the lawn, play and woodland areas.
A magnetized security gate from the garden leads to the pool area which is completely enclosed to stop little ones wandering in.
