Set
in rolling hills and fields on a high point in Agnac, Quatre Chênés
enjoys excellent
views over beautiful gentle countryside, especially to the west.
The west verandah is a superb place to wine, dine and chat in peace
and quiet late into the night, or you can swim, play boules or table
tennis. Quatre
Chênes is a fine stone built property, which although modernised
and very well finished, still carries memories of its original construction
as a large barn. It stands in several acres of well tended land,
with a private swimming pool close by to the north, and the boules
court to the west under the oaks from which the property takes its
name.
Ample
parking is available around the property, with entry to the house
via the south terrace or the north from the large parking area,
which can accommodate large vehicles. Entering the house from there,
you come into a large kitchen with fitted pine furniture, gas/electric
hob, extractor fan, built in oven, fridge/freezer, smaller fridge,
dishwasher, microwave and an extensive range of kitchen utensils.
A staircase leads from there to the upstairs.In
the same open-plan room is the dining room with large central table
and chairs, books & hi-fi. A door leads from there to the utility
room (exit to south terrace) with boilers for gas central heating
(for winter lets) and hot water, washing machine, double sink plus
ample storage space. A separate toilet is in the same area. At the
opposite end to the kitchen is the lounge area with comfortable
settees and chairs. In this area is the T.V. (BBC card & French
domestic channels) with DVD/Video and wireless broadband access. 
A
door leads from here into the large en suite bedroom (double bed) with
the shower room being fitted out to allow usage by a handicapped person.
In turn this bedroom has access to the south veranda then to the western
one. All areas mentioned to date are on one level to allow ease of access
for people with walking difficulties, or for wheelchairs.
On the west side of the lounge is a further exit, through French windows
down steps on to the west veranda that stretches the whole width of the
house. On this veranda is the main stone barbecue, with a long table for
the whole party.
Through the winter the house is often let to just a couple, as the downstairs is self-contained and can be curtained off from the first floor to make a large cosy apartment. However for larger groups upstairs there are four large bedrooms, two with double beds, one with three singles and the fourth with two single beds and 2 bunk beds. The facilities upstairs are shared and comprise one bathroom with handbasin, one shower room with basin and toilet and a separate toilet. All bedrooms are furnished with light clean pine furniture, large wardrobe and chest of drawers. Bedlinen, kitchen towels and tea towels are provided, but personal and pool towels are not. All products for the dishwasher and washing machine are provided, together with toilet rolls and cleaning materials. Your rent also includes all electricity, gas and water.Moving outside, to the west there is the table tennis area, the floodlit boules court and children’s swings.
The swimming pool to the north is in a fenced area and has large terraces around the 11m x 5m pool. The pool is 1m deep by the steps, after 3½m sloping down to 1m 60. The pool itself is floodlit, whilst there are several lights on the terrace to make the pool area enchanting for late evening swimming. There are ample sun beds and hammocks, together with table and chairs and a 2nd smaller barbecue should that be needed. The solar heated shower is very effective for showering before and after swimming.
