After more than 10 years in the Charente Maritime we chose what we considered the best location - on the edge of a typical Charantaise village but only 10 minutes from the sea and some life!
We made the "mad" decision to buy a dilapidated 18th century farmhouse and to create a special home and work place.
After 2 years of dust and toil the project has borne fruit - a mix of traditional and contemporary design elements - the solidity of local stone work and beams with the addition of space and light. A spacious and airy house and gite and a garden dotted with productive fruit trees. You get the picture - we like it a lot!
