Comfortable, character Riverside Apartment with stunning River and Garden views
This spacious, newly renovated and well appointed self catering apartment was the former stables of the ancient watermill, Moulin du Fontcourt, situated on La Bonnieure river in walking distance to the historical town of Chasseneuil sur Bonnieure.
These original stables have now been converted to a completely self contained, ground level holiday rental affording comfort, excellent facilities with your own front door and commanding spectacular views of La Bonnieure river, aquatic wildlife, birds and countryside.
The lovely gardens comprise of four land islands intersected by the river and small tributaries which meander through the gradens and around the property.
Accommodation in the Riverside Apartment comprises:
One double bedroom with a super king size bed, or two single beds if preferred, bedside tables, drawer and hanging space plus a safety deposit box for client use (Free).
The large lounge area doubles as a second bedroom with a high quality Sofa bed which can sleep two persons comfortably.
The bathroom has a bath with shower cubicle, wash basin, heated towel rail and stool.
A separate WC has a wash basin.
The large hall has its own impressive door entrance and features more clothes hanging space. It leads into:
The very spacious lounge/diner area, with Charente stone walling and oak beamed ceilings. Provided is a full size Sofa, (bed), Armchair, Coffee Table, Satellite TV/DVD and Free Wifi. Triple aspect windows provide views of the river and gardens. The Dining table seats 4 but can extend to six places.
The Kitchen has extensive units, Microwave, Electric oven, ceramic hob with hood over, plus washing machine and refrigerator, plus all cooking and eating facilities.
Property also has the benefit of underfloor central heating for colder periods of the year.
In Summer months a Hot Tub with good privacy levels is available for guests to use at small extra cost.
Moulin du Fontcourt Riverside Apartment is in the perfect location for touring South West France, the many beautiful villages, historical sights and superb coastlines plus numerous other attractions for both young and old. The Riverside Apartment location has proven to be of particular interest to Artists, Photographers, Fishermen, Cyclists, Holiday makers and home hunters seeking holiday homes, or who, just like ourselves, those who have fallen under the spell of the warm and friendly Charente region and have chosen to make this area of South West France their permanent home.
Despite its peaceful, rural outlook Moulin du Fontcourt Riverside Apartment is within walking distance to Chasseneuil sur Bonnieure Town with its excellent range of Bistro's, Cafes & Restaurants plus all the shops and services you would need. It is just 5 minutes by car to La Rochefoucauld and its grand Chateau, Chassenon Roman baths site and is en route for Angouleme, Cognac, Limoges, Bordeaux, Royan, La Rochelle and many other great places to visit. Anyone looking for the perfect French holiday will find it here. There is so much to do and see. Not least enjoying the sunshine, (reportedly the second warmest region of France after the South of France), the wonderful French cuisine, Sea food and fantastic wines at a fraction of UK prices.

About the host
Hosted by Thomas Atkins

We have lived most of our lives in the beautiful 'Garden of England ' Kent countryside. Our working lives have been busy, hectic at times, but always rewarding. Many years ago we 'discovered' France and have been coming back ever since. As our children grew and had children of their own we had dreams of moving to France permanently, finally taking the plunge and moving here to enjoy the wonderful life it offers us. We enjoy meeting people and running a holiday rental business brings a whole new dimension to our lives. Having visitors from all over the world is a real pleasure for us and our aim is to give all of our guests the best experience we can and have fun in the process.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the Moulin the first time we saw it. The building and the gardens were in a very dilapidated state but the grandeur, character and history of the house shone through and with the magic of the river as it meandered through the grounds, it seemed to speak to us, telling us we had to buy it. It has never lost its charm and appeal and now, with the renovations complete, it is our joy to share this wonderful property with others who also appreciate what history and nature it bestows..
What makes this property unique
The sound of running water, the birdsong, the aquatic wildlife, the countryside, the local people all combine into one. All this and just a short walk to our historical town. The location is excellent. Travel in any direction on the quiet country roads to everything a good holiday demands. Whatever your interests are you will find it close by. See for yourself-you will not be disappointed.
