There is a small, mature garden, while the sunny terrace, courtyard and shaded dining area make it an ideal spot for entertaining guests. Running costs and local taxes are low.

As well as being a comfortable family/holiday home, the house is steeped in history, being the residence of the stewards to the Barons of Verfeuil, known as 'La Maison des Intendants' and featuring in the French Wars of Religion and the French Revolution. It is an exciting time to become part of a local community of around 600 residents, almost all of them French. The semi-ruined Chateau itself was sold a couple of years ago and its conversion into a single high-end family home is almost complete.

There is an artisan bakery and a restaurant in the village of Verfeuil, with a wider range of shops, restaurants and supermarkets available in nearby . The area is surrounded by vineyards selling direct to the public and local activities include ponytrekking, kayaking, fishing and mountain-biking. The historic watch tower Tour Marcuel lies within walking distance of the house.
