Hameau des Martres Villa and Cottage near St Jean d'Angely
|
Hameau des Martres is an
exclusive self catering holiday
property in the heart of France -
the stunning Charente Maritime.
We can offer the light and
spacious contemporary villa, the
200-year-old farmhouse cottage
with original beams and
limestone walls with all modern
amenities, and the large four
bedroomed stone gite, all for
rental together or separately. The
property can sleep up to 21 plus
infants.
The contemporary open plan kitchen / diner has stunning views, particularly of the amazing sunsets. It is very well equipped with a double fridge freezer, large stainless
steel Range cooker with electric oven/grill plus 6 ring gas hob (including a wok burner) with stainless steel extractor. Matching stainless steel dishwasher, microwave,
toaster, electric kettle etc. plus all crockery, glassware and cutlery needed for a very comfortable stay (childrens colourful plastic plates, cups and cutlery also
provided). Two of the double rooms at the rear of the villa have twin patio doors opening out onto a large wooden deck which overlooks the absolutely beautiful pool
area. The main bathroom, once again with mosaic tiles, is huge with an enormous 270 L bath. There is a spacious lounge which has windows looking south over the
village of Le Gicq and plenty of comfortable seating for all. There is also a DVD player and small selection of films.








The cottage can be let separately or together with the contemporary villa and large gite. The three properties share this stunning location with its fabulous pool and
gardens. Hameau des Martres is set just outside the rural village of Le Gicq in the Charente Maritime department of the Poitou Charente in western France. An easy
drive to the coast and beaches yet set in a stunning location, completely surrounded by open fields. The cottage sleeps 5 in 3 bedrooms, 2 doubles and a childrens'
single room. It has a full modern bathroom with bath and shower attachment, basin and toilet, with loads of hot water and excellent pressure. The cottage is stylishly
decorated and furnished in a modern style. It does however retain its 200 yr old charm and character with its charentaise fireplace, exposed stone walls and original oak
beams. The spacious kitchen area has plenty of cupboard space and worktop and is well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator, gas oven, grill, 4
ring hob, toaster and microwave plus all crockery and cutlery required for a comfortable self catering holiday. There are two leather sofas and a dining table for 5 in the
open plan downstairs. It has off road parking and a spacious front terrace area for outdoor dining with wooden garden table, chairs, parasol and barbecue.
The entire pool area is walled, with self-locking gates and the pool is alarmed for the safety of children.
The pool itself is heated and 12m x 5 m with a gently sloping beach style entrance so that the little ones
can also play safely (with supervision naturally). There is plenty of room around the pool area for
sunbathing and relaxing. Ample loungers and chairs are provided. The pool area also has a covered
'gazebo' in case you need a little shade. A table, chairs and parasol are also provided for those lazy
lunches by the pool or cocktails at the end of the day to watch the amazing and uninterrupted views of
the fabulous sunsets (a real feature of this property). The villa is the owners' second home. It is
therefore finished, furnished and decorated to a very high standard. Consequently it has a real 'home
away from home' feel to it. There is a huge terrace area for sunbathing and has beautifully exotic
plantings all around. The views are simply stunning and the unspoilt sunsets incredible. There is a large
field with trees at the rear, a perfect place for the children to play.
New for 2012 we have the large gite, located next to the cottage. It has four bedrooms, two double and
two childrens twin rooms and a spacious open plan downstairs.
The property is an ongoing project, with another gite at the rear as yet to be renovated. As such there
are a couple of areas on the property with building materials that are fenced off to the rear. No building
work goes on during the summer.




The stunning villa in beautiful countryside (less than 20km from Cognac) has a large modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Beautiful lounge, and decorated
in contemporary style. Four big bedrooms. Private driveway, double French doors with patio area plus a huge decked area at the rear of the property overlooking the
magnificent pool.
This exclusive holiday villa is set in the middle of the Charente Maritime countryside with stunning views in all directions. The villa has its own spacious garden area
surrounding it, with a private gated entrance to the swimming pool area (with child safety lock). The four large bedrooms, three doubles and one children's twin room
(which also has a selection of toys and games) are comforatbly furnished. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room with mosaic tiling.
