Maison Puits

Originally an old farmhouse, Maison Puits (so called because of its integral well, now safely enclosed behind an iron railing), has been extended and sympathetically converted.

Our welcoming and attractive home is in a small hamlet set high on a sheltered hillside overlooking the river Dronne, and in the distance, the exquisite small town of Aubeterre with its famous monolithic church, sandy river beach, floodlit tennis, horse riding, cafés and shops. Maison Puits offers peace and tranquillity in a beautiful setting, with wonderful panoramic views, local walks and cycling paths.

The picturesque Charentais stone house provides four bedrooms: two kingsize doubles, a twin with 3 foot beds, and a split level twin with beds on a mezzanine, with a day room / play room below. As access to these beds is via a ladder, they are only suitable for youngsters or agile adults! The sunny, triple aspect, living-room has a magnificent stone fireplace, and English TV/VCR. The fully equipped kitchen and dining room (again with stone fireplace) both open on to the terrace by the pool.

The large pool has steps down in to the water, is floodlit for night time, and in winter months can be covered for sheltered swimming! The attractive landscaped terraces and gardens have sun loungers, tables and chairs, parasols, bicycles and outdoor games, barbeque, sand pit and toys for children.
