Luxury Stone Farmhouse in the Normandy countryside
4 bedrooms, sleeps 2 - 10

Close to a golf course overlooking a lake, riding stables and fishing, and 40 minutes from lovely west beaches. Set in two and a half private acres of glorious Normandy countryside and enjoying sole residency in the area known as La Joliere (‘the pretty place’) with swimming pool and lovely, far-reaching views on all sides.
It is tranquil and secluded, (your nearest neighbours are just under a mile away), yet close to all amenities. Gathemo, the nearest village with shops and a boulangerie, is 2 miles away. Two and a half miles in the other direction lies St Germain de Tallevande with a pharmacy and a recommended auberge restaurant. The bustling town of Vire, with shops and restaurants, cinema, theatre and  weekly market is 6 miles away.
La Joliere  is spacious & light, has been restored & renovated to a high modern standard whilst retaining period features and beautifully furnished in a traditional manner with many antiques. We have aimed to provide every ingredient for the comfort and enjoyment of your holiday in the best possible surroundings.  Games, videos, books, an outdoor boules court and an indoor games room are also provided.

Enjoy the fantastic views from the outdoor 1st floor decked area whilst enjoying a complimentary glass of wine from the welcome hamper. Watch the sun set, the deer emerge from the woods and our local barn owl search for his evening takeaway.
The downstairs of La Joliere is tiled throughout and has a paneled entrance hall with a cloakroom (wc/handbasin).
To the left of the hall is a huge farmhouse kitchen boasting an enormous granite fireplace with a log burning stove,  farmhouse table & chairs and includes a family-sized cooker, washing machine, fridge, freezer, microwave and French TV + highchair.
To the right of the hall is a large, comfortably furnished salon  with settees, chairs ,tables etc.,  English television and VCR .
French doors lead to the courtyard and garden where a barbecue is situated next to the shaded pergola  containing a  large table & chairs for outdoor dining .   A gated access leads to your own private swimming pool (8x4m) plus outdoor shower.
An oak staircase leads to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms (one with twin beds), both with en-suite facilities. There is also a separate toilet with a hand basin.
A second staircase leads to the upper floor where there are two double bedrooms (both with one double bed + single bed/chair) and a separate bathroom with bath/shower, toilet and vanity washbasin.

From the salon a staircase leads up to the games room with snooker table, darts etc.  French doors lead out to the large open 1st floor decked area with table & chairs and fantastic views.

La Joliere is suitable for small or extended families with the first floor two bedrooms (both with en-suites) being separated by a door from the second floor two bedrooms (shared bathroom) off the games room - affording privacy to all. The price of La Joliere is all inclusive.  We have, ourselves, in the past received shockingly high bills at the end of holidays which we had neither considered nor budgeted for.

Cot & highchair are provided as is bed linen (except for cot), towels, gas, electricity and logs at no extra cost + cool box and beach mats for your seaside picnics.

2 car garage plus space for more cars.

The house has electric heating and is warm all year round.
