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. Quatre
Chênes is only 4kms from the bustling market town of Eymet, an ancient
bastide. There are two large towns within 30 minutes and lots of
sporting and leisure facilities such as golf, canoeing, tennis, walking
and riding, plus many chateaux and prehistoric sites. A popular centre
also for vineyards and very good value restaurants. St Pardoux D’Issac
is just 6kms away, and Eymet is 4kms. The bustling town of Bergerac is a
little further, at 20kms.
The west veranda 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. The property offers 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.
Adjacent to this is the utility room which houses the boilers, washing
machine, deep freeze, 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, TV. (satellite free to
air programmes & French domestic channels) with DVD/Video and wireless
broadband access.
A door leads from here into the large en suite bedroom with double bed,
with the shower room being fitted out to allow usage by a handicapped
person. In turn this bedroom has access to the verandas. All areas
mentioned to date are on one level to allow ease of access for people
with walking difficulties, or for wheelchairs.
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.
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, together with table and chairs. The solar heated shower is very
effective for showering before and after swimming.
