Seeking to sample the essential feel of French life for your holiday?
Take a look at La Grande Maison. Nestling in a sheltered spot within the bounds of the delightful village of Kergrist. The bars and boulangerie are just two minutes walk.
‘La piece de resistance’ is tucked away in the old farm buildings. A splendid Spa Pool, warm and bubbling. In the evenings the old stone walls are brought to life by tasteful lighting, the effect is quite stunning.
Large gardens provide plenty of space, a choice of sheltered spots, ample garden furniture, stone built barbeque and sun terrace.
Accommodation
Set within its own grounds of nearly 2 acres, the building is an original ‘Maison de Maitre’, on the edge of the village, now sympathetically restored to provide a lovely large, very ‘French’ house.
Ground floor:
Generous entrance hall. Traditional French kitchen - unspoiled, yet accommodating all ‘mod cons’ – dishwasher, 5-burner gas cooker, microwave, massive fridge and ample seating around a farmhouse table for eight. CD Player/Radio to complete the living kitchen. Cosy in the winter months, and a haven of cool in the summer within the thick stone walls.
Carefully restored spacious sitting room. Polished wood floor and an exposed stone wall. Large open fireplace, tried and tested to give heart to the room in cooler months. Comfy adaptable sofas, loads of space for relaxing, TV/Video including reception of terrestrial UK channels, CD/Radio, plenty of books and games.
Large bath with overhead shower unit in the family bathroom.
Separate WC.
Washing machine.
Gym area with multi-gym, rowing machine, exercise bike.
Games room with table tennis, table football and electronic darts.
Upstairs:
Two spacious en-suite double rooms, and a twin bedded room, plus a separate WC. The en-suite shower-rooms are fully tiled, have heated towel rails and a very high specification of fittings.
All the bedrooms overlook the front of the property and its large lawned garden, with the village church just in sight.
At the rear of the property there is a wonderfully sheltered terrace, a real suntrap and totally private. There is a large stone built barbeque and ample seating alongside, a lovely spot. The back garden is approximately ½ an acre and is laid mostly to grass, ideal for relaxing in the sun, or, for the more energetic, playing football or badminton.
We are happy for you to bring family pets with you, subject to the usual paperwork.
