Located in the quiet village of Cléré-sur-Layon in the heart of the Coteaux du Layon wine growing region and surrounded by wine producers. This attractively restored holiday cottage retains many original features such as beams and stone fireplace. The village is situated within a network of small roads and lanes, which are ideal for a leisurely cycle or walk through the vines. Fishing is available in the River Layon (permit available locally). The house's origins trace back to 1890, when it served as a one-story residence for a family and their animals. Back then, the kitchen housed the animals, while the family shared the dining room for living, sleeping, and eating. Upstairs, hay and straw were stored for the winter, and the old stone staircase leading up still stands in the front garden. Upon entering through a small enclosed garden, you step into the dining room with classic beams and a large stone fireplace, adjacent to a galley-style kitchen. Pass through to the lounge with a TV and DVD player. Connected to the lounge is the first of three bedrooms, offering a view of the garden. Upstairs, you'll find a WC and a separate shower room with laundry facilities. Across the landing, there's a cosy single bedroom and a larger one with original beams, furnished with a double bed, a day bed, and a cot if required.
