Description from owner
Description
La Fermette stands in the farmland called L'Aide Frechu (formerly known as L'Etre Frechu). Also at L'Aide Frechu is the original bakery (La Boulangerie) and a large granite barn (La Grange). The barn will be converted for lettings at a future date.
A natural spring rises on the land with an original water pump and brook which runs down to a large pond. The pond is surrounded by trees and attracts wildlife - ducks, coypu and frogs.
The house is reached by a short private track which joins the main road connecting Mortain and Domfront.
The restoration has created quality accommodation whilst retaining original features of the farmhouse. It is privately owned. The accommodation sleeps six and comprises:
Ground floor:
Entrance hall with small cloakroom and stairway to first floor.
Large sitting room with granite fireplace, log burner, oak beams and granite wall. Flat screen tv and DVD player
New kitchen/dining room with French windows to garden.
Single bedroom with views over countryside.
First floor:
Triple bedroom with panoramic views, original beams. (One double, one single bed)
Twin bedroom with countryside views, original beams.
Bathroom with bath, wash basin and wc.
Shower room with shower, wash basin and wc.
(A travel cot and high chair are also available on request)
Basement:
Large basement room with access to back garden. The basement contains leisure resources for indoor and outdoor play, garden furniture and barbeque equipment. The laundry is also situated here.
Further details
On arrival you will be met by our site manager who will hand over the keys and give you a tour of the property along with information about the locale and its amenities. She will be your first point of contact to assist with any issues regarding the house.
Please note the following: The stairs to the first floor are a little steeper than some staircases.
Smoking: La Fermette operates a no smoking policy for the comfort and well being of guests.
Pets: Again for the comfort of guests with animal allergies, we are unable to accept pets.
The natural pond is some way from the house but is unfenced. For their complete safety young children will need close supervision in this area of the garden. The owners cannot accept responsibility for those who do not follow this guidance.
Further details indoors
The ground floor and staircase are constructed of natural wood. White decor contrasts with the granite wall surrounding the large fireplace.
The sitting room is furnished with a blend of contemporary and rustic furniture. This includes a leather suite, Satellite TV with various channels, DVD and music centre along with a library of films, games and books.
The log burner creates a warm ambiance as well as being an effective source of heat. Wall heaters heat all rooms and can be individually controlled.
There is a portable air conditioner in the sitting room that should be vented up the chimney of the log burner.
The fitted kitchen has natural wood units, ceramic hob, integrated oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a microwave, kettle, toaster, blender and coffee machine.
The dining area seats six around a large table and has views over the garden.
The bedrooms have clean, modern decor with rustic furniture and beams. Quality bedlinen and towels are supplied.
There is a full white bathroom and a separate shower room to serve the first floor bedrooms.
An additional feature is the basement. This houses a range of activities including a table tennis table, pool table, games, garden furniture and a gas barbeque for use outside. The laundry, with washing machine and tumble dryer, is also situated here. Access is by external double glazed doors which open out onto the back garden.
All rooms have natural wood double glazing, with French windows in every major room. A smoke alarm is also installed.
Further details outdoors
The grounds provide lots of room for scampering children as well as for those who prefer to relax in the garden.
The acre of land has countryside views, a brook and a natural pond.

“Beautiful location & great cottage”
Our family of 5 ( 2 adults + 3 children aged 6,6,14) stayed for a week in August. The property was approximately 1.5 hours drive from Caen and on arrival we were met by Helen, the property manager. She was very welcoming & gave us a tour of the house & explained key points about the property. The house was very spacious and well furnished with plenty for us to do if the weather wasn't so great. Down in the basement (accessed from outside at the back of the property) the table tennis table was well used, though the old gym equipment and smaller games tables were not used and were a bit tatty. The stairs in the house are very steep and the treads are narrow - not so easy with big feet! The beds were very comfortable, but the 13.5tog duvets were much too hot for summer time. The lounge was lovely - comfy leather sofas, soft lighting and UK tv channels - great for watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics. Although there was a huge supply of DVDs in the house, we were unable to get the DVD player to work. We would highly recommend this house and the local area is stunning.
