Beautiful Perigourdine house with large private heated pool

Clos Esperance is a traditional Perigourdine house dating from 1701, with attached barn, in a sleepy hamlet near the bustling town of Thiviers. It has just under an acre of gardens and a 12 x 5m heated swimming pool (mid May to late September). The house is on a no-through lane and so the daily post van is about the only traffic we see. The house has been recently renovated and is comfortably furnished and decorated in neutral colours. It sleeps six in three bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor. The downstairs bedroom has an en-suite shower room and there is a further bath and shower room upstairs, as well as two separate wcs. There is full central heating for spring/autumn stays, and a large log-burning stove. We have retained the traditional features such as the terracotta tiles in the living room and the oak floors in the bedrooms, as well as the original beams, while installing a modern kitchen and new bathrooms. All three bedrooms have an insect blind at the window. We remember how complicated it used to be sometimes travelling with our children when they were tiny, so we can provide a travel cot (please bring your own bedding), high chair, baby bath, bed rail, blackout blind, non-slip bath and shower mats and a step to reach the wash-hand basins. We also have plastic plates, bowls, cups and cutlery which can be used for picnics if not needed for younger guests. We have tried to think of everything you will need for a lovely holiday. All linen and towels (plus swimming towels) are included in the price, and we provide a welcome pack to start you off. Each bedroom has a hairdryer. The house is non-smoking and we do not accept pets. Please do contact us with any questions you may have and to confirm availability before you book.
