Just a few kilometers from Avignon and close to the world famous Pont du
Gard on the outskirts of a charming Provencal village is this superb 5
bedroom villa. The 350 year old farmhouse has been lovingly restored to
form a luxury and spacious family home. The interiors are very spacious,
light and airy and the thick stone walls keep in the heat in winter and keep
the property cool in summer.
The villa is furnished with a mix of Provencal, Moroccan and Spanish pieces
of furniture and art reflecting the history of this area which is linked closely
to the Camargue and where you can see the famous white horses,
flamingoes and black bulls. The property is fully enclosed in high stone
walls with an ornate wrought iron gate entry and is very private.
The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with towering ancient trees providing
welcome shade during the long hot summers. At the far end of the garden is
the 11 x 6 metre swimming pool with sun terraces and a covered dining
area with barbeque. To the front of the house is a wisteria covered pergola
with a marble dining table and chairs and a further barbeque area. The
house and terraces have a metre high fence dividing off the pool and
lawned area from the house for extra child safety.
You enter the villa into a large open plan living space distinctly divided into
two separate areas, one with comfortable sofas grouped around the
fireplace the other a modern fully fitted kitchen with dining table. There is
also separate laundry room / storage room and guest cloakroom. There is
further sitting room with feature fireplace at this level and a second guest
cloakroom. There are two sets of staircases leading to the first floor, one at
each end of the property.
On the first floor you will find the master suite and this has a very large
bedroom with carved Spanish bed, a private sitting room, a private covered
terrace overlooking the gardens and en-suite bathroom with ball and claw
tub and separate shower. A truly superb master suite. Bedroom two is also
located on this floor and it has a four poster bed, together with bedroom
three a twin and these share a family bathroom. Bedroom four and five are
on the top floor here these comprise a twin and a double each with a
shower room and there is a further sitting room/TV room with games and
video. This is a superb quality house and ideal for families or groups of
friends for both winter and summer holidays.
