Pool 2.5m x 7m in courtyard with mature trees, completely private

Grounds
The zero maintenance attractive courtyard garden is planted with a mature fruit bearing olive tree and Mediterranean plants and cacti. There is an automatic watering system for the olive-none of the other plants require water. The 2.7 by 7 metre pool is kept filled all year to provide an attractive water feature visible from many of the rooms.

Condition
The house is in good condition and has been decorated with artistic taste and flair. Recent damp-proofing treatment will require the new owners to do some cosmetic redecorating in small area on the ground floor. A balcony needs to be added to one of the top floor windows. The house has a new central heating system and a water softening system.

Comment
It is rare to find a Maison de Maitre in such a tranquil village with a pool that is completely private. The independent suite on the top floor makes it an ideal location for a B&B or people who have lots of visitors and enjoy entertaining.
