Property description
Welcome to Champ Giraud. Our property sits in an acre of garden and is a short distance from the historic village of Verteuil-sur-Charente, in the sunny department of Charente.
The pretty 2 bedroom Sunrise and Sunset cottages are either side of the owner's house, which is situated at the rear of the building. Both cottages sleep up to 5. There is an above ground pool in the large garden for a refreshing dip on those long, hot summer days.
Relax outside with a glass of wine on a warm summer evening and enjoy the spectacular night skies.
SUNRISE COTTAGE has a lounge/diner, kitchen and shower room downstairs. Upstairs are 2 good size bedrooms, one double and one with 3 single beds.
The cottage is comfortably furnished. In the lounge area is a large Charentaise fireplace with woodburner. Seating is a 3 seater and a 2 seater sofa. There is a mini hi fi with CD, tape player and radio and a TV/video player and a selection of books, videos and games.
The dining area has a large farmhouse table which seats 5 and a sideboard with all the crockery, cutlery, glasses and dishes that you will need. There is high chair for a baby/toddler.
