Dordogne Holiday Cottage Gite to Rent
'Terrieres' is an attractive Dordogne holiday cottage or gite to rent. A spacious and very comfortable house set in a great location and with extensive views over the surrounding countryside.
THE COTTAGE...
The cottage has the hall, kitchen, lounge, bathroom and two bedrooms on the ground floor and the master bedroom and ensuite shower room on the first floor.
(The house is ideal if wheelchair access is required as access through the garden lytchgate to all ground floor rooms is on one level).
All floors are tiled except for the master bedroom on the first floor and the house is bright and airy throughout. Exterior doors and windows are double glazed which helps keep the house cool during hot summer days and warm and draught free during the cooler months.
GROUND FLOOR
The entrance hall leads to a dining kitchen which is equipped with a double sink and mixer taps, gas cooker with four burners and self cleaning oven, automatic washing machine, dishwasher, large refrigerator with freezer section, microwave oven, toaster and an electric kettle. The kitchen also has a dining table with six chairs and we imagine that most people would wish to eat at least one or two meals in this room each day. A set of three french windows in the kitchen open onto a tiled front terrace at the front of the house which catches the afternoon and evening sun.
Also leading from the entrance hall is a large lounge/dining room with two windows and double doors opening onto the front terrace and garden. This room has a sofa and armchairs along with a large table and six chairs for more formal dining. There is also flatscreen English and French satellite TV with a dvd player, a choce of dvd's, a selection of books for your holiday reading and a wood burning stove.
There are two good sized bedrooms on the ground floor both with twin divan beds and French doors opening onto the terraces and gardens at the front and rear of the house. Each has fitted wardrobes available for clothes and baggage storage. The tiled bathroom, also on the ground floor, is equipped with a bath with shower over, wash basin, WC and heated towel rail.
UPSTAIRS
A carpeted and safe staircase leads up to the master bedroom which is a large room with lots of storage space and views over the surrounding countryside. It has a king size bed and an excellent large en suite shower room with a wash basin, WC and heated towel rail.
A cot, bedding and baby booster seat are also available here if requred.

THE GARDENS...
A lytchgate entrance leads to the front walled garden which is planted with roses and shrubs with a large mulberry tree which offers shade from the afternoon sun. A tiled terrace runs all around the front of the house with gates to prevent any toddlers from straying.
Behind the house the extensive rear garden is planted with roses and shrubs. There is a wisteria shaded terrace which is ideal for your holiday reading with a glass of wine or where meals can be eaten out of doors. Out of sight of any of the windows is a garage and workshop where you will find garden chairs, tables, loungers and a barbecue.
'Terrieres' is fully detached and has a large parking area which will accommodate at least five or six cars. Neighbours do not overlook the property - they are about 100 metres distant with the rest of the village and the Dordogne beyond.
