4 Bedroom Detached House For Sale

With 4 en suite bedrooms and a large, heated pool set in quarter acre grounds with established olive and fig trees, situated quietly, within walking distance of the village shops and restaurants and just 10 miles from the sea and the popular Riviera resorts of Fréjus and St Raphael, this modernised villa lets for up to £2,500 per week.




The villa is located on the outskirts of the ancient hillside village of Bagnols-en-Forêt. It is within 10 minutes’ walk of the village square. The village is approximately one hour’s drive from Nice Airport and approximately 20 minutes from the Fréjus junction of the A8 autoroute. The village was founded in about the 11th century and still maintains the traditional square with restaurants, local shops and post office. Bagnols-en-Forêt is situated some 10 miles from the Riviera towns of Fréjus and St Raphael. Their palm-tree-lined boulevards have many restaurants and shops adjacent to sandy beaches. These towns cater for those wishing to have a more lively nightlife. There is also a water park in Fréjus with an adjacent fairground and kart track. Port Fréjus with its many large yachts and a variety of restaurants is also a popular evening destination.




This superb, refurbished villa with 200m2 of habitable space stands on a plot of land of some 1000 square metres (a quarter acre) which was formerly part of an olive grove. The plot is enclosed by walls and fences with access being gained through large iron gates and a gravel drive with parking for 3 to 4 cars. The property is not part of a large estate and is in a private cul-de-sac serving some 12 other villas primarily occupied all year round by local residents.




In the grounds of the villa is a heated 30ft x 15ft swimming pool with a depth ranging from 4ft to approximately 6.5 ft. The pool is surrounded by a large patio with areas of shade provided by fig and olive trees. The remainder of the grounds are terraced with a paved courtyard at the rear of the property adjacent to a covered patio area for outdoor eating. There is also a small boules court.




The Mediterranean coast is about 10 miles away and about 30 minutes by car. There are golf courses also within 10 miles. Nice Airport is about an hour’s drive and the A8 autoroute junction is 20 minutes’ drive. The town of Fréjus (30 minutes’ drive) has beaches, a port/marina and many restaurants, supermarkets, banks and leisure activities. There are a number of vineyards in the area. Approximately 10 miles North of the village there is Lac Cassien which is a spectacular fresh water lake with pedalos and small sailing boats – motor boats are prohibited. This lake is safe for swimming and has nearby restaurants on the lake shore. Fréjus sits midway between Cannes and St Tropez so both are easily accessible by road or train. There is a regular ferry service in the summer from Fréjus Port to St Tropez Port.
