In the Lot-et-Garonne, Bosc Grand is a strikingly renovated country home where character meets comfort in a secluded setting. Surrounded by open farmland and woodlands, this expansive family retreat offers space and a seamless blend of original charm and modern ease, ideal for long summer days spent outdoors or relaxed evenings with loved ones.

Beyond its charming façade, guests are welcomed into an impressive double-height entrance hall with exposed beams and stone walls. A living room with TV and DVD alongside a traditional kitchen ensure room for everyone to spread out. A mezzanine level provides hours of entertainment with pool table, table football and another cosy TV lounge, fantastic for children and grown-ups alike.

Designed for easy living, the layout includes three comfortable ground-floor bedrooms and three well-appointed bathrooms (one en suite), with a fourth twin bedroom tucked quietly upstairs. Blue shuttered doors lead directly from the living room to the terrace and garden, where wide lawns, mature trees and hammocks offer the perfect backdrop for leisurely afternoons. A shaded dining terrace, fire pit and barbecue invite al fresco meals that linger into the evening.

At the heart of the grounds lies a generously sized 13-metre private pool, complete with sun loungers. There is space for playful moments too, with table tennis, swings and ample room for garden games. Whether retreating with a book beneath the trees or sharing stories by the fire as the sun sets, Bosc Grand encourages unhurried living at its best.

Just a five-minute drive away, the village of Cancon offers bakeries, a local restaurant and everyday essentials, while the medieval bastide town of Monflanquin tempts with its rich history, cafés and vibrant weekly market. The region brims with activities, from canoeing along the Lot River to scenic days out across the Dordogne in Issigeac, Monpazier or Bergerac.

For families or groups seeking space, comfort and countryside charm, Bosc Grand offers a secluded base for a truly memorable stay in south-west France.

• It’s worth noting that the stairs up to the mezzanine level games area and also up to the fourth bedroom are fairly steep.
