Grange Lapin

Description

Grange Lapin is a large and beautifully renovated stone barn located in a stunning and tranquil location with far reaching views over the French countryside. The night sky is amazing with no light pollution so is a star gazers dream! The barn is fully equipped with all the modern facilities, yet still retains the character features of huge oak beams and Charentais stone walls. There are breathtaking views from every room, and the well established, spacious garden leads in to the surrounding countryside. The 10.5 x 5.5 m pool is totally private to the property and surrounded by a decking patio with plenty of space for sun bathing with views over the sunflower fields and forests beyond. The pool has an alarm system and is fenced with lovely cast iron fencing, so is very safe for children. The property can sleep up to 14 people plus cot and is extremely spacious both inside and out and makes for an inexpensive option for a large family or group get together.
