Le Lavoir

Le Lavoir (La Maison de Ferme)

- a tastefully restored period farmhouse.

Situated in a courtyard setting in the peaceful Normandy countryside, only a short drive away from beautiful sandy beaches, Le Lavoir forms part of a small lovingly restored non-working farm.

The accommodation covering approximately 130 m² comprises:

Ground floor: A large comfortable lounge featuring exposed beams, stonework and a large open fireplace. The room is furnished to a high standard including comfortable sofa, easy chairs and antique furniture. It is equipped with British and French terrestrial TV (BBC 1, BBC2, ITV (Channel Isles) and Channel 4), analogue satellite TV (non scrambled English language and German Channels) and a video cassette recorder.

Across the hall, the focal point of the house is the spacious rustic dining room, formerly the kitchen, with its huge Inglenook fireplace housing an antique Godin Colonial wood burning stove. The room also features exposed beams and stonework. It is sympathetically furnished with an antique Oak dresser, bench, table and chairs.

Next to the dining room you find our quaint galley kitchen equipped with oak cabinets, tiled work surfaces, gas range, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee machine and a washing machine. The is also a downstairs toilet and wash basin. The ground floor is ceramically tiled throughout.

The first floor is approached by a large central staircase which leads to two good sized double bedrooms with lovely views onto the character courtyard, one with feature stone fireplace, a small single bedroom and a modern bathroom with a white Victorian suite including bath, hand basin and toilet. There are polished wooden floors throughout.

Bed linen is provided *, but customers need to supply their own bathroom and kitchen towels.

Outside: An enchanting gently flowing stream borders the property. The house looks onto the large character courtyard with ample seating areas, a large stone BBQ for al fresco dining, numerous flower beds, trees and agricultural implements that we have collected and restored over the past few years.

The large landscaped grounds include two ponds to the south and east with rolling fields beyond.

Children will enjoy the company of our small collection of feathered and furry friends (ducks, chickens, rabbits, cats etc.)..
