Upstairs, downstairs, and outside; here are details of your Cognac accommodation. The property is typical of the region; a real 'maison charentaise'. Though, having once been two houses, perhaps more spacious than the average; the living space measures 120m2. You can see more images at the gallery.BACKGROUND We have owned the Cognac country house for five years and up until last year, 2009, have used it as our family's holiday house. We named the house 'Chasselas' from the grape type that grows across the front of the property and that, in September, provides visitors with a delicious sweet white table grape . The property dates from around 1850 when it was built as two houses for vineyard workers and their families; hence the two front doors!
Downstairs are two large rooms, one is the roomy kitchen/dining room with a shower/utility room & WC off. One end of this room has the kitchen units and worktops whilst the other serves as a dining area looking out onto the garden. The kitchen is equiped with a fridge-freezer, 4 ring gas cooker, microwave and the usual small appliances such as toaster, coffee maker, iron etc. The shower room contains a newly installed corner shower unit and also houses the washing machine.
For entertainment there is a tv with dvd and vhs player, a hi-fi, and a selection of VHS and DVD films. A Sony Game Boy player and games is also available. There is a large collection of paperback fiction in the house.
Upstairs off a landing that runs the length of the house, are 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom all having South facing views over the garden. Each bedroom has twin beds and either a built in or free standing wardrobe. The bedrooms have double glazing so that even the occasional tractor that passes the house in the mornings is difficult to hear. The sunny bathroom contains a handbasin unit, shower cubicle and WC. OUTSIDE Our Cognac country house has a small walled garden (162m2). It is partially gravelled to enable visitors cars to be parked off the road, access is through a pair of metal gates. Being completely enclosed the garden is a secure space for both small children and pets. Facing the house, on the other side of the garden is a stone barn that doubles as a garage, boathouse and, from the Spring until Autumn, residence for a couple of families of swallows. The barn has a mezzanine floor which is used as a storage space.
