A 4 bedroom gite offering generous accommodation close to village & activities
One of the most impressive features of La Chouette is the large glazed entrance, opening into the vaulted lounge, overlooked by the minstrel´s gallery with views over both garden and courtyard. It is a wonderfully light living space. Architect designed, it has been thoughtfully planned to ensure guests' comfort.
There is comfortable seating for up to 8 people and it is well furnished with pieces of oak furniture typical of the region.The impressive vaulted atrium, overlooked from the first floor by the galleried landing, displays original features in the beams and exposed stone walls. There is a CD based Hi-Fi system & TV. The ground floor area is fully tiled and here in the lounge boasts an attractive decorative frieze.
The dining area has an oak extending dining table with 8 dining chairs. A glazed french door leads from the dining room out onto the courtyard patio.
The kitchen is generously equipped with ample work surface and cupboard space. It contains a large fridge/freezer, full size gas cooker with 4 burner hob and oven, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave.
There are 2 bathrooms, one on the ground floor and another on the first floor. The ground floor bathroom is of wet room design, making it wheelchair-friendly. It comprises shower, hand basin, wc, storage cabinet and heated towel rail, along with fully tiled walls and non-slip floor tiles. One of the double bedrooms is also on the ground floor. It is a twin-bedded room with large wardrobe and prettily co-ordinated furnishings. Along with the ground floor bathroom, this would obviously be suitable for less able guests.
Three further double bedrooms are on the first floor, approached by way of an attractive hardwood staircase and overlooking the ground floor from the minstrel´s gallery, with two windows giving views across the courtyard. There are two well-appointed rooms with double beds & one bedroom with twin beds. All contain oak furniture typical of the region, giving ample wardrobe space, bedside tables and lamps and no shortage of exposed roof timbers. They each have wall-mounted electric heaters. The bedrooms and landing are enhanced with beautiful chestnut floors, and have views across the garden and grounds.
The second bathroom on the first floor has a corner opening shower, mirrored vanity basin with light, wc and heated towel rail. It is also fully tiled.
La Chouette has a private garden, barbecue, table and chairs and a courtyard patio also with table and chairs.
The extensive, garden grounds are home to mature trees and shrubs and a variety of animal and birdlife. Ideal for relaxation and leisure activities, whilst providing safety and privacy, with many interesting corners for children to explore.
The 10 x 5 metre, fully terraced pool is securely fenced, meeting all French safety standards. There is a generous sun-bathing terrace with sun loungers. Opposite the pool is a covered games area, and there are swings, trampoline, badminton & basketball.
