Origan house
Origan house Sleeps 7 in three bedrooms.
So-called because this ancient converted chai or barn used to house a swarm of bees, which were collected and put in a hive in the park.
Situated at the far end of the big courtyard under an archway, there are French windows leading into a big, high-open plan room. The well-fitted kitchen in one corner has a gas range, large fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, and larder. There is a central island with a breakfast bar, a sitting area with a TV(English TV only in this house). With a wood-burning stove. Wood is stacked under the archway for use. There is underfloor gas heating throughout the downstairs.
The dining area leads to stairs going up to a gallery, under the huge Velux windows which throw plenty of light. By the sitting area, French windows open onto a wide, curved terrace with a dining table and chairs and comfortable seating with cushions.
This south-west facing terrace overlooks the 2 acres of sloping “parc”, with its two avenues of trees, meadow, treehouse, and views over the walls to the hills beyond.
Downstairs there is a double bedroom (1) with a Queen-size bed, a large shower room with a walk-in shower, basin and WC, and heated towel rail. This room is suitable for disabled or elderly guests, with easy access, although the toilet is of normal height. Off this bedroom are the boiler room and airing cupboard.
Upstairs off the gallery, there is a double bedroom (2) with a Queen-size bed, overlooking the parc, with a bathroom that includes a bath, shower, WC and basin, and heated towel rail.
Bedroom 3 has twin beds and a built-in full-sized bunk bed. The bathroom has a bath with shower attachment, WC and basin, and heated towel rail. There are three stairs leading up to a door into a very low-beamed landing with boxes of children’s toys, and games, which can all be borrowed.
