A slice of paradise

Judah is set in 2/3 acres of countryside, it is at the top of a hill looking down on its own lake.
It is a showcase of a French master craftsman, could be ancient but actually is fairly new. The heated (15x6 m) salt water pool is a joy to float in and there’s a new terrace overlooking the lake – a grand place to take a book and a glass of wine while you gaze over the peaceful waters. Apart from the tower it’s all on the ground floor with three slightly different levels. The big sitting room has two cushion-strewn sofas around a log burner, the dining room end has a lovely long farmhouse table with room for at least 10.

Bedrooms, all with lovely views, are down here apart from the tower room up wooden steps. Each have mostly bare walls, natural materials and are very simple. An electric Aga warms the kitchen which has decent work space. You’re left some local wine and treats.

You’re down a narrow country lane which twists along the bottom of the valley so the feeling is quite remote – there is only one neighbour, but you can walk to the village.

A large decked area to enjoy a glass of wine looking over the lake and a large terrace to eat on in front of the house looking down over the garden. There are two very large umbrellas to provide shade as needed

It is set in a mature garden on its own in the French country side on the edge of a small village. On site there is a pool to swim in or the lake to fish or boat in.
