Home description
The farmhouse is set on the edge of the unspoilt conservation village of St Juire Champgillon in the Vendée and has recently undergone a complete renovation. There are now 4 spacious bedrooms, a large lounge with comfy sofas & woodburning stove, along with a fully equipped kitchen.
Outside you will find our heated swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers and a lovely lawned garden. There is plenty of space for the kids to play ball games and for the energetic, there is a vegetable garden to potter around in.
We are currently putting the finishing touches to the farmhouse and gardens and we will update our advertising with new photos as we complete each area - such as the pool, the kitchen and the lounge. Everything will be finished by the end of March 2009.
