This delightful holiday gite is the result of a newly completed restoration that has yielded a spacious house from what was the cottage of an ancient fermette. All the rustic charm has been retained and the various outbuildings, greniers and granges (barns) remain in their original, unrestored condition.
The restoration has been accomplished with great sensitivity, resulting in a comfortable house with all mod cons, but still with the character of its heritage. The equipment is new throughout and the house has been beautifully and sympathetically furnished with a mixture of antique and modern high quality furniture, to provide confort and convenience.
This gite has a glorious location and is accessed by a track from a minor road which runs some 150 yards away.
LA CHALLERIE - The House
The lounge is very comfortable and features a wood-burning stove (unlimited fuel is available from the barn behind the house). Primary heating for the house is provided by electric wall-mounted heaters. The style of decoration is elegant, with side lamps that show off the heavily beamed ceiling and stone walls of the house to best effect.
While the building itself has been restored using traditional materials by skilled craftsmen to retain all its historic and considerable charm, the kitchen is completely modern and fully equipped with dishwasher and washing machine, Panasonic microwave combination oven, double sink with mixer tap, built-in units and laminated tops etc.
THE ACCOMMODATION (Sleeps 5+)
The cottage has two large bedrooms, which are light, airy and spacious (each measures approx 16’ x 12’). Bedding is of high quality.
Master bedroom: Sleeps 2 with an oak double bed. The full-length window has views over the Touraine.
Second bedroom: A new pair of single Myers divan beds and a Spring Air pocket sprung bed on a pine base makes this bedroom suitable for a couple plus child or 3 people.
Mezzanine: The sofa bed on the landing can allow the house to accommodate a further person if needed, or permit the second bedroom to be used by a couple only.
THE GARDEN
The gite and outbuildings are set in a large garden mainly laid to lawn, and includes an orchard.
If the fruit is ripe (plums, cherries, apples, pears, peaches and nectarines), you are welcome to help yourself! A gardener maintains the grounds without the aid of fertilisers or chemicals, so you can enjoy fruit that is pure and entirely organic.
Traditional farm buildings form part of the property. These outbuildings are very attractive and add great character to the property.
