In a tranquil rural setting, only a short drive from Atlantic coast beaches, this appealing 17th-century property offers comfortable and practical accommodation amidst wonderfully peaceful surroundings. The enclosed, private terrace is a delightful spot and offers a built-in barbecue as well as access to a grassy garden while boasting pleasant views over the neighbouring countryside. A converted 17th-century dependance of a farm, the property offers much original character while comfort is also ensured thanks to a contemporary approach.
