Outside, the topiary and rose gardens are to the rear of the property, together with the impressive pool and to the front is a formal courtyard. There is also a large garage. Located close to the spa town of Jonzac and not far from the lovely local beaches and the cosmopolitan city of Bordeaux, this stunning property is an ideal permanent residence or a holiday home with income potential.
