Notes
- The pool is completely enclosed with direct access through French doors from the living area of the barn, and is also protected by a pool alarm in line with new French Government regulations. (However due to the risks involved, families with children under 5 who cannot swim must take full responsibility for them, this age group deemed to be high risk by the French Authorities.) There is a hot shower facility within the pool area. When in residence, the owners will maintain the pool when convenient for their guests, (access is through a separate entrance from the garden). There is off street parking for several cars inside the gates. ELECTRICITY used during your stay is included. CLEANING is not included. We ask that the barn is left in the state in which you would wish to find it. If there is any extra cleaning required before our next guests arrive it will be charged at €15 per hour and deducted from the security deposit.

Ask a questionAbout Nick Scott
I bought the property jointly with my mum and dad, with a view to renovating it and the accompanying ruined barns. Over the years the house has been restored as a home for my parents and the barns turned into a Gite with enclosed swimming pool, used by me and my young family occasionally during the year, and rented out for a few weeks each summer to cover costs!
Nick Scott purchased this barn in 1998
Why Nick Scott chose Authon-Ébéon
As you will see from the photos the barn is decorated in a contemporary manner, within a very traditional stone built shell. It is in an extensive tree filled garden of just under an acre. The pool is in a private courtyard directly off the living area protected from wind and falling leaves, and providing privacy for the tenants. The place is quiet and peaceful, and has the benefit of the friendly and welcoming owners living in a separate house alongside, who can be on hand to answer any questions or help with any issues during your stay.
What makes this barn unique
Fantastic views down the length of the garden and of the trees from the tall windows in the double height atrium/sitting room area.
