The gite has been renovated carefully and selectively, to provide a cool shelter from the heat of the summer sun and a cosy retreat in the colder days of winter.  Amidst the stone walls and oak beams there lies the essential backdrop of a modern bathroom and a well equipped kitchen.

With wooden floors throughout and a wood burning stove, the barn allows plenty of room to relax indoors.

The main mature garden, lined with bamboo and a multitude of fruit trees, is stunning.  The large trees and bushes offer a little gentle shade in the heat of the summer, but perhaps, more importantly, they also offer the chance to picnic on the way to the pool.  Cherries, figs, plums, apples, pears, hazlenuts and walnuts can all be foraged en route - at varying times from April right through until October.

With all rooms located on the ground floor (there is a step down from the living area to the kitchen), the barn comprises an open-plan living space with fully equipped kitchen and dining area, 2/3 bedrooms and a bathroom.

The barn is situated in its own private garden with a terrace.  Dining outside is facilitated by a table and chairs, umbrella and a barbecue on the terrace.

The 8m x 4m pool is set at the back of the main garden and is securely, yet sympathetically fenced.  Access to the pool is through the owners' garden with the owners also having use of the pool.  Sunloungers are provided for use around the pool or in the garden.

Outdoor games facilities are also provided including, table tennis, badminton and boules.
