Farmhouse for holiday rental, Villereal
Le Grenadier is a restored traditional four bedroom Perigourdian farmhouse, 25km from Bergerac, sleeping to 8 people. There are discounts for groups of 4 people or less in May, June and September. This farmhouse is only available May to September.
The property is a beautiful old farmhouse in the traditional style of the region, with a high 'Perigourdine' roof, and solid, stone walls that keep the interior cool during the summer.
The property sleeps 6-8 people.
There
are numerous period features including interior exposed stone walls and
beams, and the property is furnished comfortably.
The farmhouse has spacious accommodation, including a large kitchen / dining room with a newly installed fitted kitchen including oven, microwave and fridge, a 'farmhouse' table to seat eight people, and a cool terracotta tiled floor.
Downstairs there is also a separate WC, and two utility rooms - one with
a washing machine and 2nd fridge-freezer, the other with a dishwasher and
a second oven.
Also
downstairs in the property is the large lounge, with exposed stone walls
and ceiling beams, comfortable settees and TV (French language only!) and
a DVD / CD player.
There is also a twin bedroom on the ground floor - hence the property
can sleep 8 (6 upstairs), but note that this downstairs bedroom is quite
small.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms - one of which has an en-suite shower room - and each with double or twin beds. There is also a family bathroom.
The bedrooms are off a large open lobby area (originally the entrance hall of the house) with glazed double doors overlooking the garden and accessing the original stone staircase entry. The 'main' entrance to the property is now on the ground floor, but this entrance can also be used for direct access to the first floor.
(See note above about a small fourth bedroom, on the ground floor.)
There is a large private garden, and a shady seating area with table and chairs for outdoor eating and living.
The outdoor seating area faces south, and is not overlooked by (or within hearing distance of) the terrace for the other gite at the property.
The garden contains swings for the children, and plenty of space for frisbees
or boules etc
The large swimming pool (12 metres * 6 metres), surrounded by terrace, a lawn area and gardens has views over open countryside and is always a very popular area during the summer.
It is shared with La Glycine and occasional use by the owners. The pool is open June - September, weather permitting.
The pool is both fenced and alarmed, in compliance with the safety regulations in France.
