The house is at the end of a former farm terrace. It has
its own garden looking down to the Vilaine. Downstairs is a spacious
living room with tiled floor, with a wood-burning stove in the original
fireplace, dining table and chairs, easy chairs, bookshelves and a
dresser. There is a modern gas cooker (bottled gas) and electric fridge
and washing machine in the well-equipped kitchen area.
The bathroom has shower, WC and handbasin, and a housekeeping
cupboard. Water heating is also by bottled gas (included in price). A
glass door leads from the living room onto a small terrace where there
is garden furniture and a cheap and cheerful barbecue. Accessible from
the patio is the garden room. You can use this as you wish, as a
children's playroom, cool dining room, or bedroom for a second couple in
a party of four.
An enclosed spiral wooden staircase leads to the airy gallery
bedroom, which has a sitting area with wide views over the Vilaine.
There is a double bed with pillows and single duvets. There are also two
single beds, for use here (the room can be divided by a curtain) or
downstairs in the garden room.
The patio faces towards the Vilaine, and has the sun morning and
evening. In winter during bad weather we watch storms sweep up the
Vilaine valley. The summer view of this, the southern part of the
Vilaine under sunny skies, is more satisfying.
