Accommodation :

Manoir d'Agenais was renovated in the early 2000s, to provide a high standard of accommodation. Over 300 years old, the 2 year renovation programme employed artisans thus enuring much of the property's character was retained.

Please note that low wooden beams and doorframes are a feature of character properties such as this - so please mind your head! Also, there is a polished wooden staircase which could be slippery in the wrong footwear, or socks.

Ground Floor - see floor plan
The downstairs living space provides 3 double bedrooms, a large living/dining room, second lounge, kitchen, separate utility room plus an extra toilet.

The kitchen is fitted with oak units and a breakfast table for 10 people. It is equipped with all of the essential mod cons whilst the separate utility room provides washing machine, dryer, fridge freezer and sink unit.

The main sitting room is huge. It is open-plan with the dining room and has French doors accessing the veranda. The high-beamed ceiling merely adds to the feeling of space. The room has plenty of cosy rugs, sofas and chairs plus satellite TV, video and cd player.

A few short steps up from the kitchen leads you into the informal dining area which is really a continuation of the main sitting room. Once again, a feeling of space is created by a high-beamed ceiling. This room provides a dining table to seat 14 people and for games enthusiasts there is a pool table, exercise bike and dart board.

A second lounge / Quiet Room is situated off the kitchen, again with plenty of seating. It is a private area for relaxing, reading and playing board games. There is a superb Girondine fireplace with wood stove and rugs over earth-fired tiled floor.

The ground floor also has a handy independent WC.

Two of the three bedrooms look out over the rear meadow and woods; the other one opens onto the pool and woods.

First Floor - see floor plan
The remaining four double bedrooms are located upstairs and reached via a mezzanine walkway. The last bedroom along the mezzanine walkway is the tower room; this room is very spacious and has views overlooking the pool, woods and fields and the 12th century church.

Outside
The grounds extend to 9 acres including well-kept and secluded garden, a small lake (fenced off for safety), private woods and a large, heated and floodlit swimming pool.

Plenty of garden furniture is provided for lounging by the pool. A large, covered porch which can be used for playing table tennis.

The veranda is lined with wisteria and geraniums and is ideal for dining; tables and chairs are provided and there is a built-in BBQ. Drinks and dinner on the veranda with views over the fields is one of many ways to really enjoy holidaying at Manoir d'Agenais.

Electric gates lead to the tree-lined driveway and there is parking for several cars in front of the property.
