Outside Living

The Farmhouse is superb for outdoor living and is set in a lovely large garden, with the house being set back up a long tree-lined driveway, with a shady car-port for two cars. At the back of the house, accessed from the Kitchen is a fantastic covered dining terrace with a large dining table and chairs for 8, and a Chesney dual fuel log burner and grill and separate charcoal BBQ.

The heated swimming pool is located just a few steps up from the kitchen to the side of the property. There is another covered area by the poolside with comfy seating and a dining table for 8, as well as a deck area with sun-loungers, and a handy loo and shower. The 10 x 5m swimming pool is heated, with an electric shutter cover for security. There is a Petanque area as well as Table Tennis.

The poolside has fantastic views out across the pool and garden, as well as lighting for the long summer evenings, making this an ideal spot to relax and watch the sunset reflected in the pool. From the back corner of the garden, a newly gravelled footpath leads across the adjacent field to join the road leading into Castillonnès village centre and all its amenities.

The famously beautiful bastide villages of Issigeac, Villeréal and Lauzun are only 10 minutes’ drive away, and Monpazier, Eymet and Monflanquin also easy to reach within 20-25 minutes.

This amazing converted barn is in an ideal location for a fabulous family holiday. The property is located on the edge of the village of Castillonnes and is a 10 minute walk into the centre of the village with shops, bars and restaurants. Yet at the same time, you have a spacious family home, stunning gardens and an amazing covered dining terrace and heated swimming pool.

The village of Castillonnes has a weekly morning market each Tuesday throughout the year and during the summer months there are additional night markets as well as many other different fetes and celebrations.

The Dordogne riverside town of Bergerac with it's International Airport is just a 20 minute drive north and the vibrant city of Bordeaux with a larger Airport is just a one hour and 40 minute drive to the West. This area has many other beautiful bastide villages such as Eymet, Issigeac, MOnflanquin, Monpazier, Villereal, to name just a few!

There are activities to suit all ages and interests, foodies will enjoy the great local restaurants at the heart of France's centre of gastronomic excellence, as well as the wine of AOC Bergerac. The area has been described as the capital of world prehistory, and culture vultures are spoilt for choice with caves, museums and chateaux aplenty.

Our Opinion

Quality : Spacious, Chic and Family

We love this barn conversion property for lots of reasons. The setting is rural but close to several lovely French villages, if you can drag yourself away from the pool. The interiors are light and bright and the open-plan living and spacious outdoor areas with pool are ideal for families and groups of friends.
