Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an 850 m² fruit garden, a plunge pool, complete privacy and golden sunsets over the French countryside.
Welcome to Carter Maison
Privacy & views
Carter Maison is attached to one neighbouring house on one side, but it doesn't feel that way. You have 100% privacy: you won't see or hear the neighbours. To the front and side there's nothing but open countryside.
Semi-detached, but fully private — no view of and no noise from the attached neighbours.
Fields, trees and rolling hills as far as you can see.
Watch the sun come up with your coffee and go down with a glass of wine. The golden hours here are something special.
Highlights
A wooden sun deck at the edge of the garden with a 2.25 × 2.25 m plunge pool. The best seat in the house for both sunrise and sunset: morning coffee, afternoon dips, golden-hour drinks.
The heart of the house. A large, light kitchen with skylights, a gas hob and oven and plenty of counter space. Room to cook together, with the dining room right next door.
A light-filled glass room opening onto the terrace, and a second dining area. Breakfast in the sun in spring, long lunches in autumn, and cosy evenings under the string lights with a view over the fields.
A covered outdoor dining terrace with grapevines growing above and alongside. Summer dinners in the shade of the grapes, with a view over the countryside.
Lawns, hedges and mature fruit trees. Pick your own grapes, apples, cherries, pears and nectarines, straight from the garden, from early summer into autumn.
Inside
Wooden beams, terracotta floors and farmhouse character throughout. Four large bedrooms over two floors and two bathrooms make Carter Maison ideal as a family home, a holiday home or a guest house. It already runs successfully as a holiday rental.
Comfortable in every season
The centrepiece of the lounge. One fire keeps the entire house warm, and nothing beats the crackle on a cold evening.
Efficient, silent warmth exactly where you need it.
Extra backup heating throughout the house.
Keep bedrooms cool on the hottest summer nights.
Location

Quiet lanes and rolling hills, in a region loved by cyclists.

“Not a polished villa, but a farmhouse with a soul — the kind of place you don't want to leave at the end of the summer.”
