Superb Restored Barn with Private Pool and Hot Tub

Superb six bedroom 18th Century converted Barn (to the neighbouring Chateau) with a private, fenced and gated pool (which can be heated at an extra cost), in a secluded valley. Although many of its original features have been retained, La Grange offers its guests all mod-cons – including a super-swish dining kitchen, eco-friendly wood fired hot tub and good superfast wifi. This is a wonderful house in a superb area - perfect for a group of friends or extended family. ​ The space Renovated in 1984 and then extended in 2019, La Grange is an ode to ancient timber, stones and ceramic tiles. Sleeping up to 13 guests, the wow factor starts as soon as you approach the house from the sleepy lane with its welcome entrance. The rustic exterior belies the vast, comfortable and inviting spaces inside, and it’s perfect for families; there's a wood fired hot tub, large private pool, two barbecues, games, active and thoughtful - indoors and out - and eight bikes. The huge sitting room has an equally huge fireplace topped by a gargantuan beam, myriad armchairs and a hunting-lodge atmosphere. The double-height dining room is in lovely old stone and through a rough-hewn ancient door lies the real treasure: the huge, newly extended, beautiful sunny kitchen with all you could need and glorious views. The large wooden refectory table is perfect to plan the day’s activities around and there is an island/breakfast bar for morning coffee and croissant. Every possible convenience has been thought of including a great welcome pack of local produce. Upstairs, bedrooms are done with style and originality; the big master suite is an absolute wow of creative décor and has a beautiful old cast iron bath in the ensuite. There are some fine pieces of furniture too, in white rooms with knotty pine floors. There are a total of five bathrooms. The 'new side' has two - one with a bath and shower and one with a shower cubicle. The 'old side' has three - one with a free standing bath and a shower cubicle plus two with smaller shower cubicles. To the front of the house is the well tended garden with the private, heated and fenced swimming pool. There is plenty of poolside and garden furniture to help you relax and enjoy the ambience. Parasols provide shade during the heat of the summer. The kitchen leads to a sunny courtyard and gardens to the rear of the house where the hot tub waits for you. There are shaded corners, trees to snooze under and views to die for! For those of you wanting to stay over the winter months (Christmas is simply magical!) Our managers speak English and know the area inside and out with all that there is to do in the fascinating Limousin: historic towns, picturesque medieval villages, watersports, Limoges china with Cognac and Bourdeaux both two to three hours away. La Grange is set in a delightful rural valley in wooded countryside. Although this is the sleepy part of the Haute Vienne, and the perfect hideaway, there is much to explore in this beautiful area. Magnac Laval has an old quarter and delightful riverside. Limoges is definitely worth a visit and is famed for its porcelain. Also worth visiting are Bellac, Le Dorat, Montmorillon and Mortemart to name just a few. Only 30 minutes away is Lac de St. Pardoux with large sandy area, water sports, horse riding and cycling. More info is in the guest guide. Guest access The guests have full use of all facilities. We even provide eight bikes!
