INSIDE

Our farmhouse is a classic honey-toned Dordogne stone building, renovated with care and attention to ensure a beautifully decorated interior with a contemporary French feel.

The huge open plan sitting room and dining space, with a high exposed beamed ceiling, has two comfy sofas positioned in front of the fabulous ancient fireplace with a wood burner.

Family evenings, or taking a break from the French sunshine, are easy with the children helping themselves from the dresser full of toys and books or snuggling up to play a game .

French windows look out over a terrace and the huge back garden leading onto the beautiful pigeonnier with fruit trees , garden , fields and woodlands.

The large dining table has plenty of space for all the family to enjoy meals together.

Whether it’s preparing a simple breakfast or rustling up a French feast, cooking in the bright and airy kitchen is a pleasure - and there's plenty of room for the whole family to get involved, it's equipped with all the usual mod cons including an oven/hob, fridge freezer, ice maker , cold water dispenser, dishwasher and microwave.

A kitchen table with stools is perfect for snack time.

And there's no need to take all your laundry home with you as there is also a washing machine, neatly tucked away in a cupboard under the stairs.

Also on the ground floor is a delightful double bedroom, with a king-size bed, designed to ensure a good night's rest or relaxing afternoon nap.

This bedroom is perfect for anyone who might like some space and privacy, or may find negotiating the stairs difficult.

A modern bathroom with toilet, bath and separate walk in shower is accessed directly from this bedroom and the kitchen.

Upstairs, with child safety gates at the top and bottom, are two bedrooms on the first floor . The landing and bedrooms have sloping ceilings and beautiful exposed beams.

The stylish master bedroom, with feature oak beamed, has a king-size bed, separate dressing room and en suite shower room. There is a cot in this room too.

A twin room, with an en suite shower room, is a lovely children's bedroom and also has a cot.

OUTSIDE

The private rear terrace is the perfect place to enjoy adult time in the evening when the children are in bed and it's position takes full advantage of the wonderful evening sunshine.

The private front terrace overlooks the tree-shaded courtyard, furnished with a table, chairs and barbecue, where there is a swings and slide set for smaller children.

At the far end of the courtyard is the fully-enclosed 12m x 6m salt-water, heated swimming pool, with Roman steps for easy access, enclosed by fencing and a self-locking gate.

Poolside shade is provided by a covered veranda and there are plenty of sun loungers for relaxing.

Beside the pool is a large, netted trampoline and, a little further up a gentle slope towards the woods, sits a second very large timber play set for older children.

Designed by British company Treetops, the play houses, swing, slide, climbing wall and climbing net are sure to be a magnet for older children and provide hours of creative play.

There is a good view of the play equipment from the pool area, allowing grown-ups to enjoy some quiet time while the little ones play to their hearts' content.

The farm also has plenty of friendly animals to see and stroke, from goats to cows, guinea-pigs, chickens and runner ducks . Collecting the free range eggs is a highlight for adults and children alike .
