Fabulous French farmhouse, complete peace, privacy and pool.

Our delightful French farmhouse is restored to a high standard and is exceptionally well equipped. It is cool in summer with a large wisteria-covered outdoor dining terrace. It offers complete peace and is only a seven minute drive to the village of St Cyprien with its colourful Sunday market, boulangeries, patisseries, charcuterie et al. Gourmet restaurants, châteaux, caves, rivers, gardens, golf courses, prehistoric sites and villages are all close by.

We are ideally situated on a tranquil hillside in the central valley of the Dordogne. Our home is in 6 acres of meadow and woodland with stunning views across the central valley of the Dordogne to Chateaux Milande which is illuminated at night. The large pool (12 x 6m x 2m deep) is completely private and secluded, with beautiful vistas, new metal furniture, parasol, and lighting under the trees and around the terrace as well as in the pool. The Roman ended pool meets all safety requirements and will be maintained for you during your stay, twice a week. The garden is partly landscaped; there is a large courtyard with table tennis and petanque, a walnut and apple orchard, a shrubbery, lavender hedges, and parking for several cars.

Our light filled salon has two sets of French windows leading onto a spacious south facing terrace, a private setting, with BBQ and lighting, for outdoor dining and trying regional specialities. A perfect place to relax with a glass of wine and watch the hot air balloons float by (a daily occurrence in the sunshine). The salon has wicker sofas and chairs from Heals, cherrywood occasional tables, and two further windows, one with a seat for curling up with a good book, a cup of coffee and a croissant.

The salon and kitchen are both large (approx 24 x 26 and 24 x 18) and open plan with exposed beams, high ceilings and fireplaces. We like to cook so the kitchen is well equipped, with plenty of decent white china and glassware for every occasion and cooking utensils. The kitchen has a heavy wooden dining table and seats eight, a cooker, huge fridge/freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, microwave, dishwasher and water filter. The house, which has wifi, is on three levels, the kitchen and salon are on the mid-level, with the terrace outside.

We have four bedrooms, all with views, three with their own ensuite and one with its family bathroom/ shower room next door.
Bedroom 1: Master bedroom upstairs with king size bed, dual aspect, views across the valley and of the countryside. Ensuite bath,shower , double sinks and WC.
Bedroom 2: Ground floor with king sized bed,views over the courtyard. Large Italian walk in shower, sink and WC.
Bedroom 3: Upstairs with twin beds, dual aspect, fabulous views across the valley and of the countryside. Ensuite shower and WC.
Bedroom 4: Mid-level with twin beds, views across the garden. Shower and WC next door.

Our home is full of light, with high ceilings and beams throughout and windows both sides with lovely views. We enjoy peace and privacy, yet are only 7 minutes from the village with restaurants and shops and less from the river with canoeing, horse riding and a high ropes course.

In essence, ours is a superb summer home for a relaxing holiday.
