The space A lovely Perigordian style Farmhouse, nestled on the edge of a beautiful village with a local shop and popular restaurant on the borders of the Dordogne and Lot in the Perigord Noir region. Set in 3 acres of well maintained garden with a Private Pool [heated during late Spring and early Autumn], Games Barn which includes Gym facilities. Our home offers far reaching views of the beautiful local countryside, Having spent many family holidays in French rental properties over the years, we have tried to provide all of the things that we would look for in a home from home for families or groups of people, looking to sample the delights of the area whilst enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the picturesque property and village. With plenty of options for outdoor or indoor dining, pool loungers for everyone and inflatables for children, we have tried to think of it all. Considered to be one of the most attractive properties in the village with commanding views, Bataille was completely renovated in 2013. Our favourite spot is the front balcony, watching the sunrise with a morning coffee before anyone else is awake! But there is so much to love about our wonderful home. The views are stunning and the pool and gardens, are gorgeous, with lots of space for croquet, boules and hide and seek. We spent years looking for the perfect place and boy did we find it. Every bedroom is different and offers something special. The master bedroom is a cool sanctuary where you can arise and wander straight out into the gardens. The living room has proper space and seating for 10, a rare find! The kitchen is bright and well equipped and the are no less than 5 different tables that you can choose to dine at. A great place for friends or extended families to holiday together and still have their own space. The area is amazing, I don’t need to tell you about the Dordogne and Lot. It has it all. Guest access A warm and homely welcome awaits you as soon as you turn into the tree lined driveway. A short flight of steps leads to a stone floored bright hallway leading to a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with everything you need to enjoy home cooking for up to 12 people. Enjoy breakfast or an evening drink on the balcony overlooking the generous gardens and far reaching views over the valley, listening to the sounds of owls and the chiming of the local church bells as you watch the deer and local wildlife. On the same floor you will find a beautifully wood floored living room, complete with TV, log burner for winter visits and seating for 10 and views over the garden. A wooden staircase leads up to two very large double bedrooms with additional sofa bed and ample wardrobe space, sharing a bathroom with shower and WC. Meanwhile, stairs lead down to the sanctuary of the beautifully cool and spacious master bedroom, with King-size bed, en-suite bathroom and separate shower. French doors lead to the garden. An inner hallway with a library and doors leading to a further WC and large utility room providing useful laundry facilities. A few steps down from the entrance hallway leads to an internal self-contained gite, with double bedroom, king size bed, en-suite shower room and kitchen/5th bedroom with sofabed. Further dining space awaits in the beautiful and bright atrium from which double doors lead to the patio and garden, with further outside dining plus a kitchen d’ete with pizza oven, log fire, fridge and covered dining for 12, overlooking the beautiful gardens and pool. Surrounding the un-overlooked and tranquil 12x5 meter heated pool are 10 sun loungers and umbrellas set out in spacious patio area. The grounds are expansive with rambling roses, places for hide and seek and another barn to explore at every turn. A large open barn houses a gym for the morning workout overlooking another large play barn, where table tennis awaits and a great venue for a party! An outside wooden staircase leads to a large studio which provides a (6th) summer bedroom with 5 single beds for additional guests or teenagers. Location: A short stroll in the direction of the church bells brings you to a beautiful village where you can buy your morning baguette and croissants from the local shop and partake of a delicious meal in the acclaimed and extremely popular restaurant at lunchtimes or in the evening. Join or watch the locals as they play pentanque on a sultry summer evening. Other things to note We take pride in our home and have equipped it to ensure our guests and friends get the very best experience. We only allow those to stay in it who we are assured would treat it respectfully and will leave it as they find it, ensuring that others can also enjoy the experience. It’s a great place for large families who don’t want to be on top of each other but equally want to dine together in large groups. We don’t advise this property for those with impaired mobility and it’s not suitable for toddlers and young children due to stairs and uneven steps. The pool is alarmed but not gated. We also allow well behaved pets by special arrangement.
