INTRODUCTION
La Metairie du Vignaud is a 18th Century Perigourdine farm house situated on a private woodland estate (a Domaine Forestier). The property has been sympathetically restored to provide comfortable accommodation whilst still retaining all the character, charm and quirkiness of a period property. There are three double bedrooms, one with an extra single bed, plus three more single beds on the mezzanine. In addition to the main house there is a pool house with a further double bedroom.

Off the breakfast room is the galley, fitted modern kitchen, with oven, microwave, dishwasher and large American fridge. Through an arched passage is the utility room with washing machine and dryer.
From the breakfast room a doorway leads through into the large dining room with solid wood table and chairs and large stone fireplace, which has the date, 1819, carved into one
corner. a further doorway leads on to a hallway giving access to the mezzanine over the lounge, with a double bedroom off the mezzanine.
Stairs lead down to the lounge with television (satellite with international channels), hi fi music player and comfortable seating. From the opposite corner of the lounge a few steps give on to the large family bathroom and wc and a further hallway leading past the boiler room to two more double bedrooms.
Completely separate from the main property is the pool house next to the 12 x 6 meter pool. here there is a large dining area with cooker, fridge and sink, summer kitchen (Cuisine d'Ete). Inside the pool house is a shower room, wc and double bedroom with view to the pool and poolside terrace.
