About this property
Charming, Detached Farmhouse With Private Swimming Pool.
Set in its own spacious garden and surrounded by quiet countryside, this charming, detached, former farmhouse is an ideal place to get away from it all. The private swimming pool and large garden provide an ideal family holiday location. The interior of the property, with its exposed beams, stonework and wooden floors, is typical of the region and has been comfortably furnished in traditional French country style. Peuliard, a hamlet of Lizant, is located near to the pretty town of Civray in the south of Vienne. Nestling on the banks of the picturesque Charente river, Civray is dominated by an impressive Romanesque church which can be seen in all its splendour from the main square of the town. Pavement cafes and a twice weekly market add to the atmosphere of this pretty town. Fishing, canoeing and riverside beaches are also a feature on this stretch of the Charente river. Good area for cycling and walking. Shop 10km, café/bar 2km Please note that along with the tranquility comes a challenge with providing broadband connection. WiFi is not provided, although there is usually 4G signal available on your own devices.

About the host
Hosted by Ben Moss
We are three generations of a family, originally from Suffolk. Grandma and Grandpa bought the house in 1991 when they retired from teaching and we have all been enjoying it (and renovating it in the early years) ever since.
Why they chose this property
Why this location? We already knew the area and found the countryside charming and peaceful. Yet the house is not isolated: it is in a hamlet of three houses and most of the shops and services you might need are to be found in the nearby village or the small towns of Civray and Ruffec, just ten minutes drive away. It is close to main road, rail and air links and a comfortable day’s drive from the Channel ports.
The area offers all kinds of activities and entertainments, everything from a picnic and swimming in a local Plan d’eau (water park) to a day out at Futuroscope. It is especially good and safe for walking and cycling.
What makes this property unique
No 2 Peuliard was bought twenty-six years ago as “a project”. A realistic forecast, as this old fermette, though mostly sound, was very primitive and seemed to be slumbering quietly, enclosed in its acre of neglected garden and meadow. Alongside it was an attractive valley and all around was farmland and woodland. Over the years we have restored it into a very comfortable family holiday home, carefully keeping original features like the stone-flagged kitchen floor. At the same time we have made many friends and enjoyed joining in local village life. We have had a lot of fun and a lot of help from our grown-up children who now bring their children to enjoy the simple pleasures of French country life.
