The City of Saintes, just over the brow of that hill, less than 8kms from home.

Still in full sun at 7.36pm on 30th April 2025, as it is all summer.
Hours of fun!

About this property

SHABBY CHIC PARADISE “Huge house, gardens and pool. So much fun. Loved it”.

If you are looking for something that has recently been renovated, with straight walls, without the odd crack, inside and out, Shabby Chic Paradise is probably not for you.
If by contrast you are looking for something idyllically charming you've just found it.
It is also the ideal if not perfect home and location for families with young children; it is safe and secure, has a large swimming pool but not too deep, gardens galore in which children can round around, a huge trampoline, a slide and swing set plus a variety of games and toys which are available to all!
On a practical note we have two kitchens and four fridge-freezers meaning you don't have to go shopping every day! Stock up, sit back and relax while your children run around the house and gardens.
Lastly, whilst seemingly in the middle of nowhere we are in fact only minutes away from the City centre of Saintes with a multitude of shops, restaurants, parks and attractions and we are only 30 minutes or so from the glorious sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast.
If the above strikes a chord with you we look forward to welcoming you to Shabby Chic Paradise, which is exactly what it is!
Best wishes,
Michael, Sophie, Lily and Rose.

About the host

My name is Michael (English), husband to Sophie (French) and father to Lily and Rose, twin daughters, born July 2016.

Why they chose this property

Sophie and I bought this property for three particular reasons.

LOCATION: Seemingly in the middle of nowhere yet only minutes from the City of Saintes and even closer to our local Village of Chermignac, one of the most beautiful and vibrant on the outskirts of Saintes.
LAYOUT...The downstairs living area is more than twice the size of the upstairs sleeping area.
LIGHT... Unusually for a lot of old houses we have lots of windows and thus lots of light.
