A. South facing terrace and covered barbecue area with wooden dining table for 6 and plastic dining table for 4, barbecue equipment and gas cooker with oven and 4 hot plates.

B. Ceramic-tiled swimming pool 10m by 5m, with shallow steps, directly in front of the house. The pool has a lawn on one side and a large paved sun deck on the other. The pool is fenced and childproof to approved French government standard. Pool furniture is provided. The pool has underwater lighting for evening swimmers. Next to the pool there is a bar and library, recently built with Salerne tiles and large bay window opening directly onto the pool, ideal for avoiding the heat of the day or for evening cocktails.

C. The land to the east, which is part of the property, consists of old stone terraces (the area was farmed by the Templars in the 12th and 13th centuries) shaded by a wood of oak and pine trees. The land to the south below the pool has been cleared and consists of wild shrubs and trees. The old railway line (now an unpaved track) and the remains of a railway bridge dynamited in 1944 can be accessed from the bottom of the property. The track offers a pleasant walk or bicycle ride, and to the left leads to a Roman path that climbs through the woods to the village, a not-too-strenuous 20 minute walk.

Management

The property is cleaned and managed by Mrs Alex Pringle who lives nearby at Roquefort-Les-Pins and is on-call constantly. Mrs Pringle knows the area well and is able to advise on places of interest, restaurants, car hire, doctors etc if requested.
