Luxury villa South of France - facilities

You enter this luxury villa in Vence, South France, up some beautiful stone steps and into the original art-deco portico. This stunning glass entrance hall contains the original floor tiling, a large sofa and stone seating. The entrance hall leads down a corridor to the large open plan living room. The living room contains a large white corner sofa, a rectangular coffee table, a dining table with chairs and a flat screen TV, located underneath the stylish staircase. Care must be taken with young children on the staircase as the steps are completely open (there is a designer bannister rail along the wall). But the impact from a design perspective is that the stairs seem to float down to the ground. The look is very effective. Two sets of Patio doors lead out from the living room onto a decking area with sunbeds. At the end of the living room, there is a cosy snug area with open fireplace, two antique armchairs and a lovely old bar, which has been converted into a workstation.

Also on the ground floor, there is a large kitchen which is equipped with everything that you could need. The kitchen contains a large island and sleak fitted cupboards. Underneath the original chimney breast, there is a large range hob, an oven and a microwave. There is also a large stainless steel fridge-freezer. Back steps lead down from the kitchen into the garden.

The huge master bedroom is located on the upper first floor, built into the roof space. The angular ceiling and velux windows make this a very interesting space to spend time in. The master bedroom includes a large king-size bed, an antique dressing table, an antique desk/workstation, a sitting area with leather sofa and an open plan en suite bathroom, that comes with a free-standing bath with shower attachment, a toilet and wash basin. The master bedroom also has a second double bed located under the eaves, that is perfect for young children.

Bedroom 2 contains a Queen-size bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. Two windows provide views of the garden and sun deck. This bedroom is decorated beautifully in a combination of burnt orange and a mushroom beige colour, together with lovely window drapes. Bedroom 3 has a double bed, large wardrobe, night table and even a rocking horse. The two windows provide views of the garden and pool. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a beautiful family bathroom, with original art-deco floor tiles, a bath, walk-in shower, wash basin and toilet.

Outside: this original art-deco villa is located in the centre of a square garden. The garden contains a good sized private pool (8m x 4m), a sun deck, a covered terrace with outdoor table and chairs and a patio furniture. This really is a lovely space to spend time in. The garden is beautifully maintained and contains mature plants and trees, stone walls and a nice set of stone terrace steps which lead up from the pool to the sun deck and covered terrace. But my favourite feature is the circular path which leads from the front gate up to the stone steps and the beautiful glass entrance hall.
