Description from owner
Description
Sevenne is a beautifully restored stone farmhouse with adjoining cottages, located in the unspoiled Lot and Garonne and far from the madding crowd!
Drake Cottage/Gite SLEEPS 6 (4 adults and 2 children in bunk beds) and is completely self contained with it's own covered terrace, sun patio and use of the 12 x 6 m pool. The property is situated at the end of a private driveway with no immediate neighbours.
The property is nestled within 4 acres of garden with fruit trees, willows, lavender, wisteria, honeysuckle, jasmine and a picturesque duck pond. We are surrounded by fields of corn and sunflowers with views over rolling countryside with friut orchards, hazel nut and walnut trees. Our hens and ducks are free range and supply us and our guests with fresh eggs daily.
Sevenne is child frendly, ideal for families, couples and house hunters.

Drake Cottage is perfect for walkers, golfers, cyclists, bird watchers, artists........ or why not sit by the pond or under one of the many willow trees with a good book and a glass of local wine!
