The bungalow is located on over 7 acres of private grounds but has its own secluded garden & patio with awnings as well as a secluded shaded gravel seating area with BBQ. The private garden opens up onto a beautiful meadow and woods which are also owned by us. Facing south, it has a very bright, spacious living/dining room area and kitchen, both rooms have double patio doors opening up to the beautifully landscaped private garden and lawn.

By using the traditional wooden shutters & roll out awnings, the lounge and kitchen which face South, remain cool. The bedrooms are at the rear of the property and stay cool. The property is also cooled by a VMC and there are also floor standing fans in the property.


Nearby we have a lake with a beach, swimming and watersports. There are multiple lakes and rivers nearby and the location is a nature lovers delight.

The end of the grounds is actually the Haute-Vienne and nearest town is actually Rochechouart with it's castle. 25 minutes drive South and you enter the Dordogne. this makes the property ideal for guests searching for a property to buy as you have easy access to 3 different departments.

The kitchen is spacious, modern and well-equipped with a gas hob, microwave, built-in electric oven, washing machine, fridge-freezer, toaster, kettle, coffee machine, iron & ironing board.


Through the exposed-barn wall hallway, there are 2 large accessible bedrooms, each with their own ensuite wet rooms/bathrooms. There is also a modern 3rd family bathroom with an actual bath. however this room is not wheelchair accessible.
One bedroom has 2 single beds that can be joined to make a double and the other bedroom has a double bed. each bedroom also has a footstool that turns into a single bed. The 2 lounge sofas also turn into large single beds. We are licensed by the Charente Tourist board to sleep 6 however in total we could upon request host 8 using the sofas and footstools that turn into beds.

There is a hot tub and portable aircon however this is an additional cost due to the high running costs, please ask for details when booking.

The bungalow is detached from all habitable buildings but does back onto a barn, during the day you may hear me access the barn occasionally.

We are rural so please expect sounds of nature, occasional tractors passing by or depending on time of year they may be operating in nearby fields.

The property has a VMC which keeps air circulating constantly keeping the property naturally cool without using airconditioning. We do also have one portable air conditioner which (like all portable air conditioners) is reasonably noisy and is available upon request. The lounge is South facing but has window shutters which can be shut as well as roll out awnings, this keeps the South side of the property cool, there is also fly screens on main lounge and kitchen windows which can be then left open at night time to let cool air in. We also have a thermometer and humidity monitor in the property which is on the WiFi so we regularly check comfort levels in heatwaves. The property has never got over 25 degrees indoors over the past 2 years of monitoring it (the app saves history). This is without the need of Aircon.
The bedrooms are North facing and always stay comfortable.
During the winter months the property has electric radiators which can be manually set to whichever temperature you require for your comfort. There are also towel radiators in all 3 bathrooms. We ask that these are all turned off when you go out please.

There is a CCTV camera which covers the parking area and gate entrance only. This is for us to check that only paid for guests are arriving, we reserve the rights to check that your identity matches the names on the booking. Guests who have not paid will be asked to leave immiediatlely, failure to comply will mean the whole booking will be cancelled and no refund offered. This is so we can comply to local legislation as well as remaining within our insurance policy details.
Removing, disconnecting, covering or altering angle of CCTV camera is forbidden.

Strictly no other type of pets except dogs that are pre-booked, dogs must be well behaved, innoculations and flea treatments upto date, good with other animals and owners must clean up any dog mess in the garden. Dogs are welcome in the fully fenced garden belonging to the bungalow but on the rest of the grounds they must be on a lead as we have free ranging chickens and a dog ourselves.
