    Description

    Les Hiboux consists of a fully restored 18th century farmhouse and three cottages, all with limestone walls and tiled roofs in the Charentaise style. The property is situated in a small tranquil farming hamlet with outstanding views, in rural Poitou-Charentes, 5 km from the market town of Chef Boutonne.

    La Vieille Maison can accommodate up to 6 guests in 3 bedrooms. On the ground floor is a fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. Through an archway is the lounge/diner with a functioning wood-burning stove in the fireplace, and an oak table which can easily seat 6. The lounge area has a sofa and 2 armchairs with TV and DVD player plus a small stereo. A door leads out onto the terrace and then out into the shared garden. There is also a shower room on the ground floor. The house has 3 bedrooms, 1 double and 2 twins plus an additional shower room.

    Each of the houses has its own terrace, with patio furniture for al fresco eating and there is a communal barbecue area. The homes look onto the courtyard, which is at the end of a short driveway and has plenty of parking space.

    In the 3 acres of enclosed gardens, at the back of the properties, there are picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. The 4 properties share a 5mX10m swimming pool. It has steps leading down into the water and is surrounded by a terraced area which is ideal for sunbathing. For safety, the pool is surrounded by a wall with a lockable self-closing gate.
    In the formal area, trees and flowerbeds surround a gated and fenced pond, and there is a boules pitch.

    There are a great many activities on site for both children and adults. A games room is available just off the courtyard, with table tennis, table football, a pool table and outdoor sports equipment. There are two fields, the first of which has a childrens area with swings, a slide, football goal posts and a large sunken trampoline. The lower field is left as a wildlife habitat, with a pathway cut around the perimeter, which leads to a childrens cabin.

    Truly a holiday haven.
