Thank you Louise May 2009

Full of character,large stone fireplace,beamed ceilings and mainly stone and wooden floors.
This region sits above the Dordogne and is heavily wooded and rural..
The area is known as the Lake District of France due to it's abundance of Lakes and the two large Lakes St Pardoux which is only approx 25 minutes away from the house and the larger Lake Vassiviere. We have just purchased a private 2.5 acre well stocked lake within a 14 acre plot near Arnac la Poste with woodland which will be available exclusively to guests at the house from beginning of November 2009.It is between 15-20 minutes drive from the house. We plan to have a timber lodge built overlooking the lake for the 2010 spring and summer seasons. You can see it on photographs

There have been several enquiries about suitability for young children and disabled access, this is a very old unusual house with outbuildings,some stone floors and lounge is on first floor.Toys,paddling pool,pushchair and travel cot are available (no bedding for travel cot).We have taken our little girl since she was very small but there are several stairs and potential bidders need to consider this.The garden is enclosed and there is another small area of garden at the back not shown.
I can organise a welcome pack if required.
Please contact me regarding dates required before bidding to confirm availability.
