Chez Kansei (meaning harmony & perfection) is a lovingly restored and converted (Nov 2006) 4 bedroom, traditional Périgourdine stone farmhouse and barn, spacious with original features in every room. Situated on a hillside in a lovely rural hamlet the house is a haven of peace that includes a private pool & BBQ in large landscaped gardens and lovely terrace.

Upstairs in the house are four beautifully appointed large bedrooms, two with double beds. The remaining two bedrooms each have two single beds. These are easily converted to large doubles if preferred. This means the property is not only ideal for families and friends, but also for groups of enthusiastic walkers or cyclists wishing to base themselves somewhere they can relax after a good day's activity.

Upstairs there is also a cosy 'nook' with original features including large fireplace, stone sink & chaise longue. This area is ideal for escaping for a bit of private time and has a beautiful view of the garden and pool below. There are two new fully fitted bathrooms plus a separate loo.

The ground floor comprises two reception rooms, one with original stone fireplace, hi-fi system & English satellite TV & fully equipped large kitchen/dining room with wood burning stove in feature fireplace. Broadband internet access and telephone also available if required.
