The House
Chez Squire, in Vissec is a 300+ year - old stone, counrty house, full of character and with a lovely atmosphere. We have modernized it somewhat, as it came with stone washbasins and no running water! Initially, the house consisted of three separate dwellings, forming an L-shape, so there are various changes in floor heights and many steps.....The view from the back garden is outstanding, looking up the ancient dry rtiver bed which is now dotted with wild flowers, amidst a beautiful variety of boulders, stones and pebbles. We have created a private terrace, perfect for breakfast and a large patio below for lunch and dinner, complete with a stone BBQ. It also provides a quiet, shady and restful oasis, for relaxing, reading or contemplation.
There is a large entrance - room combined with the kitchen area. Everything in the way of kitchen equipment is provided. A couple of stone steps up to the right finds the master bedroom with double bed and en suite shower/bathroom. To the left, one step down is the dining/living room with a large stone fireplace. Up some wooden stairs is a mezzanine double bedroom with two skylights and and beyond another large bedroom with three single beds and two windows. In the lower level of the house there is a large bathroom with a shower and a second 2 piece bathroom, plus the garden door opening onto the picturesque terrace with further stone steps to the patio and garden below which, in turn, opens onto the dry river valley. The house is spacious and comfortable; suitable for families or friends.
