The House
This 18th century Averyonnais building was originally used as a chestnut store and drying house. It has been fully restored using local stone to provide a comfortable, traditional and distinctive two-storey home with two bedrooms to sleep up to six guests. With a roof from the local slate, solid chestnut shutters, exposed beams, rough crépi walls and traditional ornaments and furnishings, the home has plenty of simple rustic character and is deeply rooted in its region. As the house is south facing, it gets plenty of light, and all rooms have spectacular views.
The house has a large garden with a barbecue and a sitting area under a plum tree, and two terraces, one at the front and one at the back, giving plenty of opportunity for outdoor living. On the ground level, the dining area has a tiled floor, a large oak dining table with seating for up to eight, and an oak buffet. At one end of this floor is the well-equipped and traditional kitchen, while at the other end is a cosy sitting area with a glazed fireplace, specially designed to draw heat into the upper level. Also on the ground floor is the shower room and toilet.
The two bedrooms are upstairs. One has two single beds; the other has a double bed and a cherrywood child's bed. There is a divan bed and spare matress to sleep 2 more people. Also on this level is a second living room, which has large sliding doors that make the most of the great views. Comfy chairs and a divan surround a woodburning stove. This room also has a dining table, making it an ideal spot to breakfast in the morning sunshine.
