Superb one-bedroom apartment with terrace, fenced garden and shared pool

The Grand Jardin is a warm charming apartment with antique wooden floors located on the ground floor of the manor house at Montboulard. The Grand Jardin features three rooms: a master suite with a 160cm bed and en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower; a study/lounge; and, a living area that includes a kitchen, conversation space, and dining table. Double doors from the study and living area open onto a large south-facing terrace overlooking the shared pool. The terrace offers a dining area and barbecue.

Heating is provided by hot water radiators or a wood-burning stove set in a large fireplace. The apartment offers high-speed Wi-Fi, electricity, and hot water. This accommodation does not have a television.

Montboulard's grounds include a heated pool, pétanque court, ping-pong table and bucolic grounds surrounded by 40 hectares of forest.

Montboulard, a haven of peace and relaxation dominated by its stone tower and manor house, is less than a kilometer from a variety of shops: conventional and organic supermarkets, restaurants, gift shops, household goods, clothing, DIY stores, as well as automotive and personal care services.

A ten-minute drive—or easily accessible by bus—brings you to the historic center of Angoulême, offering over forty restaurants, bars, and cafés, a covered market, a Romanesque cathedral, museums, shops, breathtaking views, and public artworks.

The Charente countryside is dotted with villages crowned by castles, Roman and prehistoric sites, and landscapes perfect for hiking and cycling. You can also visit world-renowned Cognac vineyards and distilleries, walnut groves, cheese producers, orchards, and deer, trout and truck farms.

Montboulard is equidistant from the Atlantic beaches and the destinations of the Dordogne, making day trips to La Rochelle, Royan, Bordeaux and its vineyards, Poitiers, Limoges, Sarlat, and Périgueux easy and convenient.

Outdoor activities for adults and children abound: kayaking, canoeing, climbing, river or lake swimming, zip-lining, cycling along the Charente, hiking, and horseback riding.
