Poitou-Charentes, Vienne, Château-Garnier, France

Set centrally in an attractive, secluded garden, this house was built some 46 years ago for their own occupation by the owners of the neighbouring Chateau Monchandy. It is on three levels, comprising a ground floor, first floor and basement. It stands alone with open views of the surrounding countryside and is just a short stroll from the thriving village of Chateau Garnier which has a primary school, general store, post office, hairdressers, bar / restaurant, veterinary practice and parkland with lake and leisure activities (tennis, basket ball, fishing and mini golf). The village is situated on one of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela and there is therefore, the possibility of offering B&B at this accommodation to those passing through.
