(Pillac)

This spacious property, offers panoramic views through our walnut grove to the rolling hillsides of the L'Auzonne valley. The property faces SE, the patio and 10 by 5 metre swimming pool is in full sun for most of the day until sunset.

In a hectare of land this 1970’s Pavilion house is in excellent order, recently redecorated and renovated throughout, it includes a new fully fitted kitchen, oil-fired central heating to all rooms and full double glazing throughout.

A new staircase, hand-built and installed by a French Master Craftsman, leads to the upper level, complete with boarded floors and Velux windows - this space has the potential for 3 further bedrooms, bathroom and en suite.
