Le Vieil Atelier (The Old Workshop) - Terraced Cottage in old Longere Farmhouse
has been created from an old workshop & attic granary within a 400 year old Longere Farmhouse.
A very spacious cottage suited for up to 4 adults. We have a Cot/Childs Bed and facilities for 1 small person (max height 115cm, approx. 5yrs) at no extra charge.
Prices shown are for 2 persons; for 3 or 4 persons, add £70.00 per person, per week.
An ideal base for extensive sightseeing, walking or cycling, golf or 'wine-hunting'. For those needing to rejuvenate their batteries with peace & quiet it is absolutely perfect. Surrounded by fields, often the only sounds are that of wildlife - and the countryside.
Virtually equidistant from 3 local towns, all boasting weekly markets, supermarkets & other modern amenities, the property is also ideally located for visiting the many and varied attractions of the Western Loire valley including the cities of the region with all they have to offer.
Our house manual lists the local, quirky places of interest - a tour of the local lavoirs, ancient stone megaliths, twisted spires & details of many restaurants, chateaux, walking & cycling routes, fishing, riding, golf, swimming & many others.
The cottage has been fully renovated & equipped to a high standard including cooking & dining facilities. You enter directly into the sympathetically renovated Salon with original exposed beams. The larger of the two sofas converts into a double bed with sprung mattress.
The separate large kitchen is well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery & glasses & also with a food processor, scales, recipe books & various baking dishes for those who like to be creative when on holiday. There is a separate small kitchen table & 4 chairs in addition to those in the Salon. In addition to the facilities mentioned above there is also a slow cooker & deep fat fryer so you are not restricted to absolute basic cooking - unless you so choose!
Cleaning equipment & a clothes airer are also provided.
Upstairs, the spacious bedroom with exposed beams has plenty of storage & a desk. In front of the South facing full length (dormer) window with Juliette balcony, there are easy chairs & a coffee table, which overlook the Courtyard Rose garden, the pool & the countryside to the South of the property. The en-suite has a large walk-in shower. The cot is located in the bedroom.
It has an enclosed rear garden (accessed via the sliding glass doors in the kitchen); a dedicated southerly facing 'Front Garden' area within the Courtyard & access to most of the rest of the surrounding gardens. The property is completely enclosed by fencing & extends to some 6500sq metres. It was an old Farmhouse with the surrounding outlying buildings resulting in a pleasing courtyard effect. There is plenty of 'off-road' parking & there are grassy areas to enjoy besides the areas allocated for the personal use of gite occupants. The house owners (& their pets) live onsite. Mobile phone reception is reasonably good. WiFi available for small extra charge.
This property has been listed with Chez Nous for 7 years
